Thank you so much for attending Synthesis 2022. This week has been full of so many community conversations, meeting individuals who we’ve chatted with only virtually and being blown away by the caliber of your projects. At last we have made it to the end. Congrats to our walk across Canada winners! Some record breaking kilometres were recorded this year and we couldn’t have done it without you all! Thank you for participating and establishing walk across Canada as a Synthesis tradition! Thank you to everyone who participated in our photo drop box contest! Congrats to winners. Swipe to see some of the awesome content captured throughout the week! We have now reached our final stop in our Synthesis 2022 Walk Across Canada: Sault St. Marie, Ontario! This town is where our final trailblazer, Roberta Bondar, was born and raised. Roberta is an inspiration to scientists across Canada, being the first neurologist and first Canadian women in space. She flew aboard space shuttle Discovery, and was the only woman of the seven crew members of NASA Mission STS-42. She was the also the head of an international space medicine research team that collaborated with NASA. DAY 6 SYNTHESIS SCHEDULE☄️ The sixth stop on our Walk Across Canada is our very own McMaster University! The cryogenetics laboratory at McMaster was founded by Irene Uchida, who was also a professor in its pediatric and pathology departments. Uchida is best known for her world renowned genetic research; she not only discovered that women who receive X-rays during pregnancy have a higher likelihood of giving birth to a baby with Down syndrome but also discovered that the extra chromosome that causes Down syndrome may come from either parent, not only the mother. Our next stop on our Walk Across Canada is The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Ontario. It was here that Dr. Lap-Chee Tsui and his research team announced their successful isolation of the gene carrying the defect that causes cystic fibrosis. Their accomplishment is regarded as one of the most significant in the history of human genetics! DAY 5 SYNTHESIS SCHEDULE☄️ The fourth stop on our Walk Across Canada is UoT in Toronto, Ontario! This is where Nobel prize winner Frederick Banting co-discovered insulin in 1921. Banting was a Canadian medical scientist and physician, and became Canada's first professor of medical research at the University of Toronto. In 1934, he was knighted by King George V, and in 2021, he was inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame.
