A childhood diagnosis of type 1 diabetes taught Olivia Favor about the importance of meticulous record-keeping and other skills that proved useful in the lab.

"The greatest gift that a grandparent can give to their Type 1 grandchild is support. Support can come in a variety of ways. Of course, one of these is knowing the medical terminology and making sure that you can help in any situation that occurs. The emotional side is also a crucial part of your relationship with your Type 1 loved one. To help your T1D grandchild, you can use your heart as well as your head."

"This semester of college is going to be a bit different, with schools across the country taking steps to follow the COVID-19 guidance of their provincial and local health authorities. Maclean’s spoke with dozens of colleges to get a sense of what students can expect this fall."

"...Universities across the country are reminding students that frosh week isn’t cancelled, it’s just going to be a little different this year."
