Curling Day in Canada! 🇨🇦 🥌 Thank you to all those who made it out for our @BESA_UofT curling night! Lots of fun and special thanks to our coaches @daniiielle17 and @JanicePang_ ! @bme_uoft
Thanks @mivukmiro from @adMare_Bio, Sarah Farr @GenesysCapital and John Jackson @NSERC_CRSNG for sharing insights & knowledge in the early stage investment session of Building a Biotech Venture. And thanks to our partners @UofTPRiME for hosting.
(4/4) Have your voice heard in this group discussion on the current state & optimal future of synthetic biology training in Canada, facilitated by @SynBioCSBERG and @ontariogenomics.
Failed experiments are never fun, but they aren’t a total loss. The process of thinking through all of the possible problems, figuring out which one is the real issue, and redesigning to move forward is a key research skill that will fuel your success into the future.
Michael Garton's (@GartonLab) life as a professional mountaineer was changed by a fall from Europe's tallest rock face. A year in hospital made him realize he wanted to make a positive impact through science. Read his #PeopleofMedicinebyDesign profile: mbd.utoronto.ca/news/people-of…

Working in academia #AcademicTwitter
In September, BME welcomed 100+ students into our graduate programs. We asked some of these students why they chose our programs, and what they are looking forward to in this unusual year. Here's what they have to say: uoft.me/bme2021
Graduate school ultimately taught me one thing: I know more than I thought I did. I just can't remember most of it on short notice.
