- Switching grant application from submitted to funded is always fun!!
- The lab just welcomed 3 new lab members! 2 MSc and 1 postdoc all based in Nairobi This is exciting!!
- The Lajoielab Instagram account is live. Follow us to know what we do
- Yesterday we hold the first Let’s talk hot flashes workshop with peer leaders from SWOP. Talking about menopause, answering questions, learning about Taboo and stigma sex workers and women aging in Kenya faces. Thanks to MMSF and CANfAR for funding this work
- First talk at an international meeting for Cara from my lab. Cara is in Nairobi this week to meet with community and to talk about her project on how Th17 cells and low estrogen may impact the capacity of the immune system to control HPV Good job Cara!! Proud of you

- Congrats to Reagan for presenting his work. Great job too!! Reagan works on understanding the impact of menopause on the immune response in women living with HIV or not. Super proud of my two Master students for their presentation and hard work
- Despite the attack on science and global health, despite the stop in USAIDS and PEPfAR funding and it impact on HIV and STIs prevention, We are here today in Nairobi for our annual meeting with colleagues for Kenya, US, Canada, UK, Sweden and many other place To say we will continue to fight

- Norovirus is in the house and it is hitting me really hard :/
- Our paper is out on how the immune system of female sex workers respond differently to the phase of the menstrual cycle according to if they are newer into sex work or highly exposed seronegative and with follicular phase seeing more T cell activation onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- TV and internet down since Monday. A week now! How long does it take to @BellMts to fix a problem? This is getting ridiculous. Problem started Monday 22 after lunch. You got 7 days to fix the issue or communicate with customer. Nothing
- Un jour important a se rappeler. Et pour se rappeler que le nombre de feminicide au Canada resté élever. www.cp24.com/news/canada/...
- Mom-to-be, you can help prevent this from happening by receiving a dose of the whopping cough vaccine in your third trimester. This will allow your infant to have some antibodies to protect them if they are exposed to it
- All preventable. No baby should die of whooping cough. Not vaccinating your kids has consequences not just for your children but also for those around them. Vaccination rates need to go up. And unfortunately, this is a news story that may well happen in Canada too. www.wlwt.com/article/kent...

- Woohoo great news this morning. The first Lajoie paper with me as senior author :)
- no, we don't need to apologize for a fraudulent study that was refuted by many others and that has been causing harm. Harm that you are promoting today by refusing to acknowledge evidence-based data that vaccines do NOT cause autism
- Sad to say, but information on the CDC website can no longer be trusted. The anti vaccine and anti science agenda has taken over
- New exposure risk in Winnipeg. If you have been exposed to measles and you start having symptoms, it is important to stay home. If you don't know you were exposed, but you have a fever, stay home. Over that one thing could prevent all that. VACCINATION www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
- C'est inacceptable que le lait maternisé soit aussi $$$; c'est essentiel! J'ai dû recourir à ses préparations. Malgré tous mes efforts, ma production de lait n'a jamais été suffisante pour être la seule source de lait. Je n'ose imaginer le stress des maman ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/220...
- Yes removing the back box on Menopause replacement therapy is good news. But doing it by misinterpreting studies is not right as it feeds misinformation in another way.
- We should talk about mandatory MMR vaccination to start school and no exception other than medical one obviously.
- Misinformation, antivax propaganda and lack of trust from some specific communities explain what is happening right now. Countries like Canada (and likely USA next year), should not see measles running widely. We have a safe and efficient way to prevent all this. Vaccine works!
- Sad sad day for Canada This was all preventable with a simple tool. Vaccine works
- We need to act now. We know where this is going. We need to stand for EDI, sex and gender research… We can’t follow our neighbor and banned words. We also need to protect our privacy and data and the one of our students and collaborators. Take a minute and sign this
- Just love my new viral research earrings
- Tonight at 19h around the world people will light a candle to remember Babies born sleeping, babies that were never held and those who’s Life was way to short I am 1 in 4 and our family will light a candle for our little girl we never held
- New boots have arrived
- This is telling my age as I used to watch Jem every Saturday morning when I was young
- Too many shots are giving to kids.. Same people, let's break up MMR in three distinct shots or MMRV in 4. I do not follow the logic...
- MMR/MMRV are two great vaccines with safety record. There is no reason to change to single vaccine for each. Why? 1st we don’t have such vaccines they will need to be produced 2. By separating them and spacing the administration, it will mean -more needles (no kids want that!) /1
- I scored two labubu last night on pop mart! Santa gifts is done :) And shockingly I got the same twice lol so there isn’t gonna be fighting about who got which colour lol bonus point
- The start of the colour season
- I took Tylenol during my pregnancy and I have two healthy girls not on the spectrum Please moms out there do not feel guilty if you took Tylenol, mom to be so not suffer for nothing if you need take Tylenol and If you have a fever consult your doctor asap.
- My take on yesterday announcement on Tylenol and autism (en français) ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/premie...
- Basic science in a lab can seem abstract art but when working with community it is important to show what happens behind the curtains so they can see what we do with the samples they provides and trust that we respect those samples.
