In this special episode of Tech and Talk, we welcome Dr. Kathleen Hodgkinson, a distinguished Professor of Medicine and expert in population health and applied health sciences at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Dr. Hodgkinson shares her journey from the UK to Canada, where the unique founder population of Newfoundland drew her into groundbreaking genetic research. We explore her work on inherited cardiomyopathies, particularly arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Tune in as Dr. Hodgkinson reflects on Newfoundland's rich heritage, its supportive academic community, and the natural beauty that keeps her anchored to the province. This episode offers insights into the intersection of genetics, community health, and the scientific legacy she's helping to build in Canada.
