Shikha in the news!

2/12/2019

 
I just wanted to share that I participated in a recent radio show called as "Grad Chat" to share my research study broadly. Here is link to the podcast: https://podcast.cfrc.ca/2019/01/shikha-gupta-phd-in-rehabilitation-science-supervised-by-professor-maryann-mccoll/ . You may like to listen to the show in your spare time! Thanks so much for all the support that I received from DKG to make this happen for me,
Sincerely,
Shikha
