1. Keep an excel statistical workbook for analyses run and highlight values used in Tables and text (super helpful for later verifying data when PI asks and during proofing stage). E.g. screen shot.
2. Think about the mechanisms when interpreting findings! What’s the physiology behind the direction of change?
3. Pay close attention to editorial edits by colleagues (then PhD advisors ... thanks @NWilliams_Kines) as good writing is key for effectively communicating findings. Investigators show/demonstrate…. objects don’t show.
4. Don’t overlook the importance of details in figures i.e. thickness of lines, size of text, symmetry of panels, etc. Once published…. you can never change :(
5. Don’t underestimate the time it takes to produce good quality work, but, most of all, have fun with it!

We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment which we strongly believe strengthens the science we conduct.
We encourage qualified applicants of all race/ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability and age to apply.
Eligibility 1: Enrolled in or completed an undergraduate degree in exercise science, exercise physiology, human kinetics, kinesiology, physical and health education, or related (exercise/physical activity focused).
This week I worked alongside some of my #EPCHL team members (#postdocs, #PhD students) and colleagues to submit 2 applications (was involved in a 3rd). Same competition, same deadline.
Other #EPCHL staff continued to keep our 7+ other clinical trials running smoothly; they have this, they have superpowers that we don’t praise enough.
This brought up memories of a grant submission during graduate school where the PIs and PhD students.
I've re-pasted my prior comments here in one thread as it's hard to find amidst all the comments (see below)
These are key issues and happy to see such great discussions. From personal experience working w/ athletic to now #cardiacrehabilitation (~80% male attendance) populations, recruiting females is challenging. Just b/c it is tough, does not mean we should not strive for balance.

Interesting to see new @CIHI_ICIS data for #nurses in 🇨🇦. If interested in reading some of the work that has stemmed from our Champlain Nurses' Study @CNursesStudy and WALK Study see summary and links below: #womens ♥️ health
(1/6) I'm so honoured and excited to share that I've been awarded research funds from @HeartandStroke to support a randomized trial examining exercise training strategies (e.g. HIIT) in women with #heartdisease ♥️ @UOHIResearch@HeartInstitute
(2/6) Heart disease is the number one killer of women over 35 years.
Women are Understudied, Underdiagnosed, and Undertreated.
(3/6) My colleagues @thaiscoutinhoCV@DrAndrewPipe@Breid57Reid@Brunet_Jen Dr. Heather Tulloch. Dr. George Wells and Marja-Leena Keast (all Twitterless 😅)
and I are so grateful to continue our work in this important area.
