UHN Research Important update from:

Linda Penn, PhD
Director, UHN Office of Research Trainees (ORT)
Senior Scientist, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre

It is bittersweet for us to announce that this month's edition of the UHN Office of Research Trainees (ORT) Times will be our last. With every end comes a new beginning, and we are excited about this new chapter where the ORT will focus on more timely and rapid communications, including bi-weekly email updates and utilizing social media. Using these platforms, we will continue to share helpful content including career development workshops, research training opportunities within and outside of UHN, and trainee and alumni spotlights.

We look forward to connecting with you on Twitter and LinkedIn or by email at ort.admin@uhnresearch.ca.

Since our inaugural edition of the ORT Times in November 2011, the ORT Times has served as a monthly email e-newsletter for UHN trainees and the research community as a whole. To view past issues of the ORT Times, please visit uhntrainees.ca.

We are grateful to all of the science writers and trainees who contributed to the ORT Times over the years!
