Conquering Deadlines

Salsa festival

As usual I find myself juggling multiple responsibilities while also taking time to experience the vibrant cultural festivals here in Toronto.

One of my major focuses recently has been working on an exciting PhD article about experimental group B Streptococcus maternal vaccines. It’s fascinating to explore a vaccine that has the potential to protect both mothers and their newborns from harmful infections. But let me tell you, diving into the world of immunology and conducting research can be quite the adventure! ðŸ§ªðŸ”¬

I am also reviewing some comments on a paper regarding a maternal sepsis model. Receiving comments from peer-reviewers is in many ways an enlightening experience.

But it wasn’t all work! Toronto is known for its vibrant and multicultural atmosphere, and I couldn’t resist immersing myself in the city’s cultural festivals. This past weekend, I had the chance to attend the Salsa Festival. The food, energy, music, and dance moves were simply mesmerizing!

Experiencing these cultural festivals served as a reminder of the importance of balance in life. Amidst the rigorous demands of academia, it’s crucial to find time for joy, exploration, and connecting with diverse communities.
