S2.Ep2: Bias and Confounding with Olivia Du and Charlotte Lipin (former HLTH 323 students)
Speakers’ bio:Olivia Du, BKin 20’Olivia completed her BSc Honours degree with a specialization in kinesiology at Queen’s University in 2020. Olivia is now a second year MSc student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine Rehabilitation Sciences Institute. Her research examines sex and gender differences in exercise participation and depressive symptoms in the stroke population. By taking an integrated knowledge translation approach, she hopes that study results will fill a knowledge gap of sex- and gender-specific indicators of exercise participation and depressive symptoms in this clinical population and inform the remodelling of the stroke continuum of care by removing sex- and gender-specific barriers, improving access to stroke-related health services for men and women, and educating end knowledge users. Olivia’s research is funded by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and the CIHR Frederick Banting and Charles Best Canada Graduate Scholarship Master’s Award. Olivia aims to defend her thesis next summer and aspires to pursue a career as a clinician-scientist.Charlotte Lipin BA 22’ (Health Major)Charlotte is in her fourth year of Health Studies at Queens University. She is currently working under Dr. Lee in the In Situ Lab as a UG Undergraduate Trainee. Her research is focused on the constitutional determinants of climate change mitigation efforts. In specific, looking at how adverse health effects caused by climate change are disproportionately impacting population health while simultaneously threatening human rights and social justice. Charlotte is hoping to pursue a master’s in Public Health after the completion of her undergraduate degree.
