Great Vast event

What’s science without those that it impacts? We’ve been so lucky to work with amazing lived experience partners. Thank you for joining us!!

Thanks for joining us in Banff! Always a pleasure to see everyone in person after so many zoom calls 🤩

Thank you for impacting those of us with lived experience to share and learn from each other.

What a great conference! The perfect balance of scientific talks, career development, skills workshops, mentoring…! Meeting all these amazing people with lived experience and those committed to make a change in the field has been truly inspiring 🤩

Unique opportunity for trainees anywhere in the world! Join us via zoom (free-of-charge) to discuss ageism in health research. It's a cross-cutting topic that heavily applies to anyone studying aging. Thanks CIHR Institute of Aging for sponsoring this event.

And it's published!!! 🥳 Many years in the making! Check it out if integrating several MRI measures in your analyses is of interest to you! Thanks to ApertureNeuro for the very smooth review and publishing process! I also want to recognize co-first author Zaki Alasmar 💪

🔥Years in the making, now published! My final postdoc project in Nature Communications shows that Tau and TSPO PET follow gradients🌈 of connectivity in #Alzheimer disease 🧠 nature.com/articles/s4146… Thanks to Alzheimer's Association Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre McGill Research Centre for Studies in Aging Now ready for new adventures!🌍☺️

Fantastic opportunity to work with great PIs!
