Are you an trainee attending the Recent Advances in the Prevention and Treatment of Childhood and Adolescent Obesity Conference this October and looking to learn from senior researchers? If so, Team ABC3 has a very exciting opportunity for you! We are offering trainees a chance to meet one-on-one with our team of senior researchers!
Team ABC3 will be holding ‘Office Hours’ over the course of the conference (October 24-27, 2018). These Office Hours are a chance for any trainees attending the conference (or in the Calgary area!) to meet with some of our senior researchers from across the country for 15-20 minutes of one-on-one time. You’ll have the chance to get advice on career goals, find out about current projects and research, and make new connections!

We’d like to share a very warm Team ABC3 welcome to Stephan Oreskovich!
Stephan is the new Clinical Research Project Assistant with Drs. Catherine Birken and Jill Hamilton (Team ABC3 Project Leaders) at the SickKids Team Obesity Management Program (STOMP).
Stephan recently completed his MSc from McMaster University under the supervision of fellow Team ABC3 Project Leader, Dr. Katherine Morrison. His thesis focused on the utilization of magnetic resonance imaging to capture cold-activated brown adipose tissue in healthy humans. Now at SickKids, Stephan will help coordinate the STOMP evaluation study, the STOMP Early Years Trial (study 5.7), and local efforts for our severe obesity and global developmental delay surveillance study (study 5.8).
Welcome aboard, Stephan!
Arnaldo Perez (Team ABC3 Co-Investigator) and Geoff Ball (Team ABC3 Project Leader) were recently featured in an article for the University of Alberta’s folio!
