SUMMARY:Indoor air and infectious disease transmission
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Pandemics in collaboration with the Canadian Public Health Association presents a webinar for public health professionals to hear the latest research on indoor air transmission of infectious diseases and strategies to reduce exposure. This webinar is a preview to the symposium\, “Something in the air: Towards a new understanding of aerosols and respiratory disease transmission”\, that will be presented at Public Health 2024 in Halifax this April. \nPresentation Topics\nAerosols and Pandemics\nRaymond Tellier (McGill University) will introduce the concept and definition of respiratory bioaerosols\, and review some of the abundant scientific evidence supporting an important role for aerosol transmission of influenza A virus and SARs-CoV-2 virus\, 2 agents with a proven pandemic capacity. \nPreventing indoor air exposures through engineered strategies\nEPIC member Sarah Haines will present her recent work on portable air cleaners to detect SARs-CoV-2 as well as identifying ventilation and other strategies that may be beneficial in reducing viral exposure.

SUMMARY:Health\, Equity and Research Talks (HEaRT): Advancing Gender Equity in Academic Medicine
DESCRIPTION:While evidence shows that gender equity is better for health policy-making and patient care\, gender inequity remains a problem in health care and academic health settings. In celebration of International Women’s Day\, Dr. Larissa Shamseer (MSc\, PhD) and Dr. Nicole Doria (MA\, PhD)\, post-doctoral researchers with the Knowledge Translation Program of the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute\, will explore the occurrence of gender inequity in medicine and academic science\, why gender equity is important\, the consequences of COVID on gender equity\, and provide strategies to promote gender equity\, such as behavioural or systemic change\, targeted interventions\, career flexibility\, increased visibility\, recognition\, and representation\, mentorship and sponsorship opportunities\, and financial support. The presentation will be followed by questions from the audience\, co-moderated by Samar Saneinejad\, Senior Director\, Strategy and Co-Chair of the Research EDI (REDI) Task Force and Denese Frans-Joseph\, Research Equity Specialist and Co-Chair of the REDI Task Force at Unity Health Toronto.
