Welcome onboard!
#Chicago #scientificmeeting #aerospacemedicine #humanperformance #extremephysiology

Out Of Programme Experience approved ✅

Feels SO good to be supported by the deanery and be able to take time out of training instead of giving up my core surgical training post to work for European Space Agency in Antarctica 🚀🇦🇶

Nina Purvis (she/her) European Space Agency Welcome to the team! We look forward to hearing about your journey at Concordia - and remember to bring a cute penguin plushy 🐧

Chuffed to have received such an important and generous scholarship from AsMA to attend their annual meeting in Chicago later this year. Thank you!! Can’t wait! 🚀🩺

After much deliberation…I’ve accepted a General Surgery themed core training program. I’m gonna be a surgeon!! 😷👩🏼‍⚕️🔪🤩 and perhaps I’ll find a way to make the space dream happen too - space surgery anyone?! 🚀😷 (sorry anaesthetics and I’ll see you in the operating room ❤️)

This is going to be such a tough decision. Aviation & Space Medicine/Intensivist dream versus Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon dream. Tonight I don’t think I’m going to sleep. The double life of hard work has paid off but now I need to decide! 🚀💊💉😷

Super proud of this all star team Nina Purvis (she/her) Sophie Levasseur collaboration with CIUSSS Centre-Ouest-de-l'Île-de-Montréal McGill University Université de Montréal Faculté de médecine Centre de recherche du CHUM Western University @NHS ! Aerospace Medicine

V proud to be first co-author (also known as et al 😉) on a review of blood clots during spaceflight and extrapolation to exploration class missions (getting to publish with a space surgery hero Dr Drudi is 🤩🤩🤩) 🚀🩸👩‍🚀

🚨Please share

Fully-funded PhD studentship opportunity with myself, Prof Prof Nick Caplan (he/him) 👨🏼‍🚀🚀💛🤍💜🖤 and Dr. Claire Bruce-Martin on developing #BloodFlowRestriction exercise as a spaceflight countermeasure, investigating the physiology & biomechanics in simulated micro- and hypo-gravity.

Now an ED SHO! 🏥🚑 #EmergencyMedicine #ChangeoverDay

Had the best of taster weeks on ITU/anaesthetics and I don’t want to leave 😤 so much teaching and allowed to progress my skills under supervision 👏

BREAKING NEWS
The 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

I think I’m going to love working in GP, if the lunch breaks are like this everyday ☀️

F1 ✅
Back to the same ward to be AMU SHO on-call tomorrow so not a huge change yet 🤣🤭 then starting GP next week 😁
