Brain Bee winners visit CIHR leaders and the Minister of Health

In recognition of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Anya Sinha and Melisa Eraslan, past Ottawa Brain Bee champions, visited CIHR offices earlier this week to meet with Dr. Paul Hébert and Dr. Tammy Clifford. They later met with the Honourable Marjorie Michel, Minister of Health, on Parliament Hill.

Both former champions are currently pursuing research-focused paths, a testament to the impact of initiatives like the CIHR Canadian National Brain Bee, which inspires the next generation of research talent.

We are so proud of our former Brain Bee champions and excited to see them advocating for women in science at the high levels of Canadian research leadership!
