Juniper Genomics Social Media Monitoring and Strategy Development internship

Juniper Genomics is a forward-thinking company that uses advanced genetic technology to help people going through IVF (in vitro fertilization) make more informed decisions and improve their chances of having a successful pregnancy. While their science is cutting-edge, they currently lack a strong digital presence, especially on social media. This makes it hard for potential patients, healthcare providers, and industry partners to learn about their services and the important work they do. The goal of this project is to build a structured social media monitoring and engagement strategy that helps Juniper Genomics better understand how people are talking about fertility and genomics online. Using a tool called Mentionlytics, the intern will set up systems to track mentions of the company, monitor industry trends, analyze competitor strategies, and measure how people feel about fertility-related topics. With this information, Juniper can refine their messaging, improve brand awareness, and stay responsive to the needs and concerns of their audience. The project will go beyond day-to-day tasks by establishing a long-term system for collecting insights and turning them into action. It requires knowledge of social media analytics, digital marketing, and competitive research. Weekly reports will be shared with the leadership team, and a final presentation will offer clear recommendations for how Juniper Genomics can grow its presence, connect more deeply with its audience, and continue to lead the conversation in fertility care. This work will help the company reach more people, share its mission, and stay ahead in a fast-changing industry.

Advancing a Learning Health System for Mood Disorders

Many patients with mood disorders, which include major depression and bipolar disorder, continue to experience symptoms even after receiving treatment. Traditional research methods have helped improve care but often don’t reflect the realities of clinical practice, which slows progress in applying research to improve services. This project aims to support St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton (SJHH) in becoming a Learning Health System (LHS)—an approach that uses ongoing data collection and analysis to improve care over time. The project will focus on the Mood Disorders Treatment and Research Clinic (MTRC) and has two main goals: first, to create a plan for how LHS can be adopted in the clinic by engaging patients, staff, and leadership, and second, to analyze existing clinical data to understand which patients are most at risk of continuing symptoms after treatment. These insights will help improve care for mood disorder patients and guide future research and service planning. For SJHH and the Research Institute of St. Joe’s Hamilton (RSJH), this project will demonstrate how data already collected in the electronic medical record can be used to support system-level improvements, providing a model that can be expanded to other clinical programs at SJHH.

Efficient Computational Strategies for Calculating Orbital Energies Using pCCD-Based Methods

This project focuses on advancing computational methods for predicting ionization potentials (IPs) and electron affinities (EAs) of organic molecules, with a specific application to organic solar cells (OSCs). By leveraging Koopmans’ theorem within the orbital-optimized pair-coupled cluster doubles (oo-pCCD) framework, the project aims to efficiently compute these key electronic properties without costly gradient calculations. A benchmark dataset will be generated for organic acceptor molecules, widely used as donors in OSCs, to validate the method against experimental and high-level computational data. The results, including insights into energy level alignment and charge transfer properties critical for photovoltaic performance, will be integrated into the open-source PyBEST software and published on UNB’s DataVerse repository to support the development of high-efficiency OSC materials.

Live Net Zero+ Project

Climate communication often uses doom-and-gloom messages that highlight the devastation of climate change, which can provoke negative emotions and might be counterproductive. Therefore, this project aims to test whether happy messages that highlight the personal happiness benefits of climate action can increase social media engagement and climate action across Canada. In collaboration with One Earth Living and Canadian Geographic, we will design happiness-based social media posts and host challenges via Canadian Geographic’s social media accounts that encourage Canadians to take climate action. These challenges will be based on the earlier stages of the Live Net Zero+ initiative, which saw two family challenges with a total of 13 families from across Canada compete to lower their household carbon emissions and win $50,000. Additionally, we will distribute a survey that asks people about the climate actions they currently take and those they would like to take in the future. People will be encouraged to take the survey at multiple timepoints throughout the project so that we can measure how their climate action and carbon footprint has changed over time as a result of these social media posts and challenges. We will also collect data on Canadian Geographic’s social media engagement (e.g., likes, comments, shares) throughout the project to examine whether this happiness-based messaging can impact social media engagement. Finally, we will also examine the long-term effects of these messages by collecting data again one month after the posts have ended. Results of this project will be used to inform strategies for scaling the Live Net Zero+ initiative and will provide One Earth Living and Canadian Geographic with evidence-based insights into how to engage the largest number of Canadians in climate action as possible.

Influence des Représentations d’Attachement sur le Développement Psychopathologique de l’Enfant : Approches Projectives et Psychométriques

Ce projet de recherche explore l’influence des relations d’attachement sur le développement émotionnel et comportemental des enfants présentant des vulnérabilités développementales. En identifiant les profils d’attachement de ces enfants et en les comparant à ceux d’enfants au développement typique, nous chercherons à comprendre comment ces dynamiques affectent leur adaptation psychosociale. Nous examinerons également l’impact des représentations parentales de l’attachement sur leur perception des difficultés de leur enfant et leur accompagnement au quotidien. À l’aide d’outils d’évaluation validés, comme le MacArthur Story Stem Battery et l’Adult Attachment Projective, cette étude contribuera à une meilleure compréhension des interactions parent-enfant et proposera des pistes d’intervention adaptées pour renforcer ces relations et favoriser le bien-être des enfants et de leurs familles.

Capacity Building & Land-Based Program Development with Tasiutigiit Association

Tasiutigiit Association is a non-profit organization which started in the early 1990s to address the overrepresentation of Indigenous children in the child welfare system. It is evident that support for cross-cultural families is needed, including cultural competency/allyship programming and opportunities for the children to remain connected to their communities of origin. This year, Tasiutigiit was asked by the Montreal urban Indigenous community to create a space for younger Indigenous youth (aged 5-12) in the summer. As such, Tasiutigiit is collaborating with the Native Friendship Centre to create an opportunity for the younger youth to participate in a culturally safe, relevant, and caring land-based day camp through the summer. The general objective of this project is to support Tasiutigiit’s goals and aspirations for expanding organizational capacity to adequately meet the needs of their members, namely through co-creating new land-based programming. The intern will apply relational, respectful, and reciprocal frameworks to the work completed with the partner organization, which requires innovative knowledge in land-based pedagogy.

Delphi project on the barriers of the implementation of digital health technologies for cardiovascular disease prevention

Digital health technologies (DHTs) are tools and platforms that have the potential to significantly improve patient-centered care in the field of cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention by providing prolonged monitoring and improving the clinical workflow. Despite numerous advantages, there remains clinician resistance to the implementation of DHTs in healthcare settings. There is an urgent need to improve patient care and reduce healthcare burden by finding solutions to overcome the roadblocks to the widespread uptake of DHTs for CVD prevention. With a Delphi project, our goal is to identify these solutions. This project will be conducted in collaboration with the global ACHIEVE-Digital team funded by the World Heart Federation. This enables us to broaden our connections and reach experts at a global scale. From the results, we hope to facilitate the development of new best-practice guidelines for the implementation of DHTs.

Évaluation de la performance de circularité d’un territoire

Ce projet vise à développer un outil pour aider les décideurs à suivre l’état de l’économie circulaire (ÉC) dans la région de Sorel-Tracy, au Québec. L’ÉC est un modèle économique qui cherche à réduire l’extraction de ressources, à optimiser leur usage, tout en minimisant leur impact sur l’environnement.

Aujourd’hui, il existe peu d’outils pour mesurer efficacement les progrès de l’ÉC à l’échelle territoriale. Cela rend difficile la comparaison entre territoires, la coordination entre différents niveaux de gouvernement et la compréhension des bénéfices par les parties prenantes. Le Centre de transfert technologique en écologie industrielle (CTTEI) propose de relever ce défi en développant un système de suivi concret et adapté aux besoins spécifiques de la région.

Le projet se déroule en trois étapes :
1) Comprendre le territoire : Identifier les acteurs et ressources clés, ainsi que leurs interactions, à l’aide d’analyses stratégiques et systémiques.
2) Choisir les bons indicateurs : Trouver des moyens fiables pour mesurer les progrès en ÉC, en s’assurant qu’ils répondent aux besoins locaux.
3) Créer un outil visuel : Identifier les éléments clés de communication claire des informations de suivi.

Les résultats seront diffusés par le biais de conférences et de publications, avec l’objectif de reproduire cette approche dans d’autres territoires canadiens.
