Her thesis research in Shawn Hochman's lab determined the properties of inhibitory dorsal horn neurons involved in pain processing and plasticity that occurs after spinal cord injury. Her postdoctoral work in Ole Kiehn's lab at the Karolinska Institute was focused on spinal locomotor circuits and she developed an interest in locomotor rhythm generation. She started her lab at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia in 2014, where she continues to probe spinal circuitry with a focus on rhythm generation and more recently, mechanisms of therapies (and potential therapies) to enhance locomotion after spinal cord injury.

Short Survey on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Neuroscience
by info＠manitobaneuroscience.ca 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

Dear Manitoba Neuroscience Community, The MNN is a full participant in the process of forging a Canadian Brain Research Strategy (CBRS; www.canadianbrain.ca <http://www.canadianbrain.ca> ) to serve as Canada's nationalized brain research vision, and integrate with other national/regional plans and the International Brain Initiative (www.internationalbraininitiative.org <http://www.internationalbraininitiative.org> ). MNN director, Dr. Anderson, is a member of the team of institute leaders from across Canada, which guides the CBRS under the leadership of Drs. Yves De Koninck (Laval) and Judy Illes (UBC), and several of our members have participated in focused strategy discussions as early career investigators. MNN will continue to invite its members to participate in the CBRS activities. We will also communicate important information so we can all understand what is happening on a national scale. CBRS was recently awarded a $1.5 million CIHR grant to create a formalized structure, with dedicated CBRS Executive Director. This will accelerate the initiative significantly. One of the foundational pillars that will drive all CBRS activities is a commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion. In order to take this lead internationally, CBRS needs to understand who works in neuroscience now. A short survey has been created. It takes less than 3 minutes. Please complete it if you work in neuroscience research in Manitoba. Not only will that help with EDI, but it will also help ensure that Manitoba is not under-counted in terms of our contribution to the national community. Faculty, Trainees and staff are ALL ENCOURAGED to complete the survey. https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7PXWZImUSzYplqZ The password is: CBRSEDI! Thank you. We look forward to making our contribution to helping Canada forge a comprehensive neuroscience research strategy. Please forward this message to anyone working in neuroscience who was not captured by this email list, and ask them to contact info(a)manitobaneuroscience.ca <mailto:info@manitobaneuroscience.ca> to join the list. -The MNN Team ****************************************** <http://www.manitobaneuroscience.ca/> <https://www.facebook.com/manitobaneuroscience/?fref=ts> <https://www.instagram.com/manitobaneuroscience/> <https://twitter.com/manitobaneuro>

FW: Open letter to premier
by outreach＠manitobaneuroscience.ca 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

Dear colleagues, I'm sure you have all heard on the news about the open letter that was sent to the premier by a group of physicians regarding the province's COVID-19 response. I received a notice yesterday that they are seeking more signatures from researchers and academics. If you are interested, the information for signing the letter is provided below. With all best wishes to you and your families, Sari S. Hannila, PhD Director of Outreach, Manitoba Neuroscience Network Associate Professor, Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Science University of Manitoba _____ From: MB doctors group outgoing < <mailto:manitobadoctorsgroupoutgoing@gmail.com> manitobadoctorsgroupoutgoing(a)gmail.com> Sent: November 5, 2020 11:07 AM To: <mailto:manitobadoctorsgroup@gmail.com> manitobadoctorsgroup(a)gmail.com Subject: Open letter to premier Caution: This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba. Dear Colleagues, Thank you for signing the letter of concern to Premier Brian Pallister. We have attached the initial letter with 202 signatures for your records. It is heartening to see so many physicians, researchers, and other members of the healthcare community coming together to advocate for the citizens of Manitoba. Since it was sent on November 1, the letter has helped to raise awareness of the crisis our healthcare system is facing and to stimulate discussion amongst the public and politicians. Our sincere hope is not simply that the letter will attract attention, but that it will be a catalyst for increased strategic investments in the resources that are urgently needed to respond to the COVID pandemic and to save lives. There were 202 signatories on the letter submitted to Premier Pallister Sunday evening. We have subsequently heard from more than 150 individuals who have also signed the letter. We would like everyone to have the opportunity for their voice to be heard and counted. To that end, we plan to resubmit a letter to Premier Pallister with the updated names. If you have contacted us to sign on but do not see your name on the letter attached here, do not worry, if you are receiving this email from <mailto:manitobadoctorsgroupoutgoing@gmail.com> manitobadoctorsgroupoutgoing(a)gmail.com, you have been counted. Anyone who is interested in signing the letter and has not yet done so can send an email to <mailto:manitobadoctorsgroup@gmail.com> manitobadoctorsgroup(a)gmail.com.The email should clearly state your name, advanced degree(s), field of expertise, and email address, as well as your desire to be added to the letter. e.g.: Jane Smith, PhD Community Health Sciences <mailto:janesmith@umanitoba.ca> janesmith(a)umanitoba.ca I would like to be added to the list of signatories on the letter of concern to Brian Pallister. Please note that we will not be including professional affiliations, as we are asking people to sign on their own behalf, not as representatives of their employers. The response to this letter has been overwhelming. We have received multiple requests from the media for doctors to share their stories and their concerns. This letter represents the voice of a diverse group of physicians and academics. We all have unique expertise and experiences that deserve a voice. Please respond to <mailto:manitobadoctorsgroup@gmail.com> manitobadoctorsgroup(a)gmail.com if you would be willing to share your experiences for any media requests (we would not give out your name/contact to the media but would approach you as opportunities arise). Multiple voices add strength to our message as we advocate for our patients and all Manitobans. We realize some of you may be receiving this email communication more than once. We are just figuring out the most effective process for communication and are grateful for all of your support.
