Hasnaa Fatehi, PhD, RAC – RA/QA Principal Consultant at QARALOGIC

Hasnaa’s secret mission is to rewrite your/our imagination of Muslim women.

Chantel Kowalchuk, PhD – Associate Medical Director at ApotheCom

Chantel is a PhD neuroscientist turned medical communicator. She currently works as an Associate Medical Director at ApotheCom, a medical communications agency, where she leads a team of writers to help pharma and biotech companies communicate their complex medical findings in an accessible way to healthcare providers and patients.

Alison Müller, PhD – Communications & Social Media Officer

Dr. Alison Müller left her academic past to pursue a career in science communication after realizing she enjoyed sharing the wonders of medical research with others far more than babysitting persnickety cells. She is a member of the Communications team for government non-profits: 1) the Canadian HIV Clinical Trials Research Network (CTN) and; 2) the Centre for Health Evaluation and Outcome Sciences (CHÉOS) based out of St. Paul’s Hospital. She also enjoys providing others with the opportunity to share their science in a less structured environment and is currently the Programming Chair of Science Slam Canada which holds both in-person science communication events in Vancouver and virtual science communication events Canada-wide.
