(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.
(4/6) As a result of the financial implications of COVID-19, @HeartandStroke was not able to fund their traditional 3-year operating grants, but made tremendous 💪organizational efforts to support several highly ranked projects for 1-year.
(5/6) My ♥️ is full for the @HeartandStroke and all Canadians who support this foundation, so they can continue to fund life saving heart and stroke research.

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
