So lucky to have been working with @TaraRaessi these past few years. She will receive the Governor General’s academic silver medal for her exemplary accomplishments as an undergraduate student. She’s kind of unstoppable! Photo @TMUPsych Awards Night at Arts and Letters Club.

Heading to Ottawa for an @acousticsorg meeting and my train seat is next to the delightful @hm_sokolowski from TMU. And we're not even going to the same meeting. Our offices @TorontoMet are also across the hall from each other. What strange but very good luck :)
