As 2025 ends, I reflect on a year of challenge and opportunity.

Two years post-radiotherapy for #breastcancer, I continue navigating life after cancer while advocating for patient-centered care.

Closing a chapter at Genome Canada, I step into 2026 with gratitude, hope, and renewed purpose.

Photo of Dr. Lopez-Correa with the Terry Fox statue in Ottawa. Followed by the title of the piece "Why I’m so excited about the potential impact of the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network" and this quote: "“For me, as a Latina, breast cancer patient and a scientist, being part of this Network has both professional and deeply personal impacts" says Dr. López-Correa. "I know what inequities in cancer care look like and I also know the hope that comes when science, care, and compassion come together.”

Vaccines don't cause autism. What does? Scientists say most brain changes that contribute to autistic traits occur before birth.

Vaccines don't cause autism. What does? Mostly genes.
The number of people diagnosed with autism as screening has improved and the definition of autism has been expanded.

How environmental RNA can give us a real-time picture of freshwater biodiversity Recent studies have demonstrated that eRNA, previously considered too unstable for field use, can be reliably detected in freshwater ecosystems.

Move over eDNA! 🧬 #eRNA technology is now capable of detecting #freshwater organisms in real time. RNA breaks down much faster, but this is its advantage and can provide greater insights into what #biodiversity is present 🌍
