While very relieved that my CIHR grant on placenta and fetal heart defects is funded (on the 3rd try), I am very concerned for the research community generally that the funding rate keeps dropping --13.1% in my committeeπ.
Looking forward in talking to my alma mater @waterloosci.bsky.social regarding the adverse cardiometabolic consequences of prenatal cannabinoids. A bit of a homecoming!
Great times with the next generation of scientists today in Chemistry labs!
Today!
Looking forward to this @schulichmeddent.bsky.social #oncology Grand Rounds next Tuesday with my colleague Dr. Jim Petrik @uofguelph.bsky.social
Delighted to have Dr. Sandy Raha @McMasterU to speak to our 4th year @schulichmeddent.bsky.social students on the importance of proper and clear science communication!
TODAYβ¦.
Happy Halloweβen from the Hardy Lab!
Today!
Looking forward to this Osler Society talk by Dr. Rob Hegele @schulichmeddent.bsky.social
In summary: as a MFM specialist, my job is to use shared decision-making to help pregnant people make educated decisions around preventative measures & treatments. Ultimately, my priority is the pregnant person. The fetus is a passenger, impacted by maternal health & wellbeing
As a Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist, here are a list of exposures with conclusive evidence for adverse fetal & childhood outcomes:
Alcohol
Tobacco
Cannabis
Maternal suicide
Maternal homicide
Viruses (CMV, influenza, COVID, HIV, HepB&C)
Bacteria (syphilis, listeria)
Parasites (toxo)
