What a great way to wrap up this year’s RISE summer program! It was wonderful to see our Calgary high school students come together for the symposium and share what they learned through their posters. Their curiosity, enthusiasm, and hard work really came through.

It's inspiring to see participants debating global health challenges, negotiating solutions, and building leadership, diplomacy, collaboration, and public speaking skills.

This paper how we define "Black" in health research (rdcu.be/fmnlq) represents more than a publication for our @c4collaboration team. The process challenged our assumptions, sharpened our thinking, and deepened our understanding.

The day the paper was published, we lost our beloved colleague and co-author, Prof Regine King of @UCalgary_FSW. Her wisdom and contributions are woven throughout this work. We are grateful to have shared this journey with her, and we dedicate this milestone to her memory.

I’m in Neskantaga First Nation, home of Canada’s longest water boil advisory going on past 30 years. A 24 pack of bottled water is $37.99 plus tax. Community members get water flown in by the federal government but it’s rationed. So if they run out, the local Northern Store is the only place to get clean drinking water. INSANE
