Last week, our Unit director Monica Mamut joined a community roundtable led by Pulitzer-prize winning science journalist, Ed Yong, organized by pippsbc.

The roundtable included the long COVID patient and caregiver community, health researchers and more.

A new Conversation article from Julia Smith, PhD and Simran Purewal, with some great recommendations for researchers working with community partners: “Preparing for the next health crisis: COVID-19 showed the importance of community-engaged research.”

Kayli, you did such a great job on the air! Thank you for sharing your story with the world.

Join me next Wednesday for this important discussion!

Jennifer Heighton Ed Yong is not here Simon Fraser University pippsbc It has been so good! It will be worth the effort. As a #LongCovid patient since April 2020.

This has been one of the best and most accurate discussions I have watched. I have participated in forums/symposiums/summits all over the world looking for potential treatment options.

Just watched the Long Covid keynote at @sfu’s Dream series by Ed Yong is not here and cheered + teared up… he is a legend for a reason, and he really gets it - complex chronic illness. I wish people like him ran the world and healthcare. Everything could be so much better.
