Thanks for the recognition @GirlsInScience !!
We are so proud of CAGIS volunteer and mentor, Dr. Erin McConnell (@Bluebird__47), who won the Gilead Early Career Award for Excellence in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI)!
This award is presented to an early career chemist for their excellent work in EDI. Erin was recognized for her contributions to many organizations, including CAGIS. She has been a long-time STEM Expert, volunteer, coordinator, and mentor for the youth in our network. She is pictured here at the awards ceremony with friend of CAGIS, Dr. Stephanie MacQuarrie (@stmacqua), who was named a 2024 Chemical Institute of Canada Fellow.

We are a country of discoverers, explorers and innovators.
We have a long history of research achievement, including double lung transplants, insulin, pacemakers, and stem cells.
Time to invest in researchers, postdocs and grad students to build a better future for Canadians.
