Adding final touches to a joint review with Madison Asquith and with help Sally Prior on an update on human babesiosis. This is a topic close to my heart as it was the basis of my PhD studies and will be in memory of my PhD supervisor Professor Elizabeth Canning. #humanbabesiosis #studentwork #research #zoonoticdisease

#MaEwanU psychology professor Dr. Trevor Hamilton has made groundbreaking strides in neurological research through his zebrafish lab, which he uses to study anxiety, pharmaceuticals and the effects of climate change. We sat down with him to discuss what sparked his interest in his research and where he plans to go next. https://ow.ly/QWJH50UJJAk #abpse Office of Research Services, MacEwan University MacEwan University, Faculty of Arts and Science

UIC’s Integrated Health Studies major features a holistic approach for students interested in pursuing a career in the health sciences field. The major explores Biological Sciences, Psychology, and core classes in the life sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, and humanities. The complexity of human health, from the level of genes to society, makes up the framework for this major. Learn more about the IHS major here - https://lnkd.in/ejpgWfjE

For a great experience studying life sciences and medicine, we have you covered with the release of our QS World University Rankings by Subject 2024. The top 10 list this year is very similar to the previous year with Harvard University, University of Oxford and The Johns Hopkins University ranking first, second and third respectively. Massachusetts Institute of Technology moved one space up to joint fourth. See the full list of rankings here: https://lnkd.in/ehaF2t7D #StudyLifeSciences #StudyMedicine #QSWUR #QSWURbySubject

I am excited to share my poster presentation on Exploring the Relationship Between Stress and Acylated Ghrelin in Response to Exercise in Adults during Drexel University's Pennoni Honors College Week of Undergraduate Excellence Poster Session. I have been a part of the College of Nursing and Health Professions Clinical Exercise Physiology Lab under the direction of Dr. Michael Bruneau, specifically focusing on the effect of exercise on our appetite regulating hormones to provide informed interventions in mitigating weight management. We are continuing to research High Intensity Interval Training and its chronic effect in decreasing appetite hormones, such as acylated ghrelin, and influencing perceived hunger. This research can be beneficial in changing the stigma of weight management. Rather than navigating multiple decisions surrounding meals throughout the day, this approach narrows it down to one deliberate choice, engaging in daily exercise, which can foster a simpler lifestyle change when navigating weight management. https://lnkd.in/e-MAm9xF

✨ We are launching our new 'Stories from Our Students' blog, where we feature stories from learners across the college. ✨ Our first post is from Jared Price, a College of Medicine student who is pursuing a combined MD and PhD degree at the University of Saskatchewan. He shares how the blend of medical training and research in the MD-PhD program will help his future career as a physician-scientist. “While the timeline can dissuade some, I consider it an investment in my career. I will be a better clinician from my research experience." Read more: https://lnkd.in/gN6NrYkX

Science may not always jive with stories relating to the Afterlife, so it’s encouraging to see the scientific community moving forward in this area. I just read this cool article about how a multidisciplinary group of scientists has released a new consensus statement on death research. 🧬 Featured in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, this publication marks the first peer-reviewed statement dedicated to the scientific exploration of death. Its purpose is to offer insights into possible mechanisms, address ethical considerations, outline methodological approaches for systematic study, and highlight key debates and challenges in this area of research. This is a great step for further studies regarding the Afterlife because, with the advances in modern science and medical resuscitation, it’s been becoming less clear when the body is actually, irrevocably dead. This seems really cool to me, and I hope you enjoy reading about it, too! 🤓 Here’s a link to the article: https://lnkd.in/ezNJ6VWb #Afterlife #NearDeathExperience #ScienceAndSpirituality #ExploringTheUnknown #Consciousness #DeathResearch #PsychicMedium

#Day13 On Day 13, we highlight Integrating Learning and Hummingbird Medicine to Heal Academic Harm by Elizabeth Mendoza, Adria Padilla-Chávez, Beatriz Salazar Medina , and A. Susan Jurow. This article presents Hummingbird Medicine, a decolonial framework rooted in Indigenous knowledge systems, as a means to heal harm caused by traditional academic practices. Drawing on collaborative storytelling and relational pedagogy, the authors explore how educators can foster healing and transformation in academic spaces that have historically marginalized and silenced Global Majority voices. Key contributions include: • A detailed explanation of Hummingbird Medicine as a metaphor for resilience, regeneration, and the transformative power of care in education. • An exploration of relational pedagogies that center empathy, reciprocity, and healing in academic practices. • Practical strategies for integrating Indigenous knowledge systems into teaching, learning, and community-building within academic contexts. The appendices in the issue’s introduction enrich this discussion by offering conceptual tools on the Intimacies of Violence, Resistance and Liberation, and Hope and Healing. These frameworks provide a broader lens to understand how academic harm can be addressed through decolonial and relational approaches. This article offers a powerful vision for reimagining educational spaces as sites of care, community, and transformation, particularly for those historically excluded from academic institutions.

On January 18, 2022, I experienced an immense sense of pride when Manchester Metropolitan University awarded me a Doctor of Philosophy degree. This recognition was for my research program titled "Interpreting the Meaning of Existence for Individuals with Motor Neurone Disease and their Family Carers." #occupationaltherapist #researcher #expertwitness #mmu #existentialphenomenology #interpretation #mnd #als #familycarers
