As the CUPE Local 233 members are on strike it's important that we as invigilators do not take on the work of the striking members. Work such as removing garbage, cleaning spaces, etc. should not be done as it undermines the strike & violates your employment contract.
In addition, any unsafe or unsanitary or otherwise bad working environments that are a consequence of there be no staff to keep the university and grounds clean can be reported. You can report to [email protected] or call 416-979-5091

Filip Bodera, a Ph.D. student in CAMPEP Medical Physics, recently published an article in the Journal of Photoacoustics (Impact Factor of 9.65) on his Master's research where he developed a new method of analysis to measure blood clot kinetics using photoacoustic imaging. You can find his article in the link in bio!
Great job Filip 🎉!

She received her BSc in Physics from Trent University in 1988, her MSc in Biophysics from UBC in 1991, and her Ph.D. in Medical Physics from Carleton University in 1996 where she is also currently an Adjunct professor in the Physics department. At Carleton she is also a graduate lecturer in Radiobiology course and the Medical Physics program. Her research activities and expertise are in the field of biological effects of ionizing radiation in mammalian systems with a strong focus on cytogenetic biological dosimetry and low dose radiation research. Dr. Wilkins is also the lead of the Canadian Biodosimetry Network for large scale exposures to ionizing radiation in which Canada has developed a network of laboratories that can provide rapid dosimetry during large scale events.
Join us on March 30 to tune into Dr. Wilkins brief talk! RSVP link in bio ☢️
