Our next Life after ARiEAL event is coming up soon!

Our second guest is Erin DeBorba. Erin is a Research Project Coordinator III in the Perioperative Medicine & Digital Health Department at Population Health Research Institute (PHRI). She graduated with an MSc in cognitive science of language from McMaster University. Erin was awarded the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council grant for her thesis focusing on the impact of short-term memory on second language learning. Erin has worked on a variety of studies, including the B-Free trial, which investigated the outcome of delirium in cardiac patients through the restricted or standard care use of benzodiazepines. Erin is currently working on a smoking cessation trial, and a pragmatic trial investigating whether the use of retrograde autologous priming (RAP) reduces red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in patients undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass.

This event will take place on Wednesday, March 12, 3:30pm, at LRW 4001.

The aim of this series is to invite ARiEAL Alumni that have been doing amazing things since graduating to talk to us. They will talk about their current jobs, the paths that led to their current employment, how their degrees in Language Science helped them find their jobs, is helping in their current roles, and some of the struggles that followed graduation. Following a short presentation, our speakers will open up for discussion and answer your questions.
