    An Interview with Akiko Iwasaki on Her Groundbreaking COVID Projects and Advocacy for Women and Minorities in STEM

    Q&A https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-021-02456-9 OPEN At the frontline of COVID research: an interview with Akiko Iwasaki on her groundbreaking COVID projects and advocacy for women and minorities in STEM Professor Akiko Iwasaki’s research focuses on the mechanisms of immune defense against viruses at mucosal surfaces, which are a major site of entry for infectious agents. Professor Iwasaki received her Ph.D. in Immunology from the University of Toronto and completed her postdoctoral training with the National Institutes of Health before joining Yale’s faculty in 2000. She has received many awards and honors and has been a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator since 2014. She was elected to the 1234567890():,; National Academy of Sciences in 2018, to the National Academy of Medicine in 2019 and to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2021. Professor Iwasaki is also well known for her Twitter advocacy of women and underrepresented minorities in the science and medicine fields. In addition, Professor Iwasaki co-directs the IMPACT (Implementing Medical and Public Health Actions against Coronavirus in Connecticut) team to generate an extensive biorepository for specimens collected from patients and health care workers, as well as implementing viral testing in both groups. established. Based on this insight, we developed a vaccine strategy called “Prime and Pull”, where we can recruit and establish tissue resident memory T cells at the site of viral encounter. This led to a much more robust protection from genital herpes, and can also be used to treat existing virus infection to prevent recurrence of herpes lesions.

    4.2.2 Wildlife 4.2.2.1 Caribou Labrador's Caribou (Rangifer Tarandus) Can Be Classified Into Two Main Groups, the Migratory An

    REVISED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT 4.2.2 Wildlife 4.2.2.1 Caribou Labrador’s caribou (Rangifer tarandus) can be classified into two main groups, the migratory and sedentary (also known as woodland) ecotypes, which are distinguished by their use of calving grounds or fidelity to specific calving sites. Migratory caribou travel large distances, occupy large home ranges, and aggregate during calving periods. Conversely, sedentary caribou display limited movements, occupy smaller home ranges, and tend to disperse during the calving period (Schaefer et al. 2000; Bergerud et al. 2008). The Project occupies a portion of Western Labrador which overlaps with the range of the George River (GR) Herd. Straddling the Québec-Labrador peninsula, the GR Herd is one of the world’s largest Rangifer populations, with population estimates peaking at almost 800,000 individuals in the 1980’s (Couturier et al. 1996; Russell et al. 1996, Rivest et al. 1998). This area of western Labrador overlaps the GR Herd as a portion of their winter range (Jacobs 1996). In addition to the GR Herd, there is another migratory ecotype that is recognized on the Ungava Peninsula and known as the Rivière-aux-Feuilles (‘Leaf River’) (RAF) Herd. Existing and recognized sedentary populations include the Lac Joseph (LJ) Herd located south of the Assessment Area, and the Red Wine Mountains (RWM), the Joir River (JR), and the Mealy Mountains (MM) Herds all much further to the east. The Mealy Mountains act as a geographic barrier separating this herd from the other herds of Labrador, but the lack of a geographic barrier between the other three sedentary herds results in an overlap of herd ranges (Schmelzer et al.

    Economic Footprint for the Canadian Commercial Helicopter Industry

    FINAL REPORT Economic Footprint for the Canadian Commercial Helicopter Industry Photo Credit: Talon Gillis PREPARED FOR The Helicopter Association of Canada PREPARED BY InterVISTAS Consulting Inc. 11 May 2016 Executive Summary Commercial helicopters in Canada are the workhorses that play an integral role by supporting activities in many different industry sectors and provide many benefits to the economy. Helicopters are often the only effective type of transportation option available to reach many remote or distant locations. Helicopters play an important social role in society, by leading and supporting lifesaving missions. E.g., Photo Credit: Talon Gillis medical emergencies and search and rescue. The commercial helicopter fleet is a growing and important part of the Canadian national registry of aircraft. Helicopters facilitate business and commerce in a broad spectrum of industries. E.g., mineral, oil and gas, mining, tourism, and filmmaking. Without helicopters, these sectors would be higher cost and some developments particularly in the resource sector, simply would not occur. A diverse and growing industry, Canada’s commercial helicopters contribute directly to employment across the country Canada’s commercial and to the national economy through their operations and activities. Helicopters serve and support a number of sectors of helicopter industry is the Canadian economy. Beyond passenger and cargo significant, growing, transportation, they are essential to medevac and emergency services, and for linking northern and remote communities to diverse and saves those in the south. This study examines the current economic lives impacts generated by the commercial helicopter industry in Canada and in the individual provinces and territories. In Canada, there are currently over 2,800 helicopters registered, of which over 1,800 are commercially registered.
