Not giving up really does pay off. Your first rejection doesn't define your journey forever. Thank you, Dr. Prof. Meghan Azad, PhD, thank you for sharing your inspirational story.

Great chat with Winnipeg Free Press!

True story: “The first grant I wrote on #breastmilk got rejected and slammed pretty bad by the reviewers. I remember one of them wrote, ‘There’s nothing magical about breast milk. This is useless,’”

#Persistence pays off!

All of the #breastfeeding & #microbiome research recognized with this award was inspired by my CIHR-funded postdoctoral work with CHILD.
