Her work has focused on improving access to culturally appropriate care.</p> <p>Chatwood says understanding Indigenous perspectives about health means looking at wellness holistically. It means not only treating diabetes, but also looking at food security and asking, for example, if the caribou decline has affected community health. At an international level, Chatwood also shares research and information related to climate change and public health among the eight Arctic states.</p> <h3><a href="/news/u-t-s-susan-chatwood-celebrated-work-public-health-arctic">Read the <em>οNews</em> story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Dalla Lana</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Wed, 30 Oct 2019 14:57:05 +0000 s.anderson 159899 at Astronomer Bryan Gaensler wins Canadian Astronomical Society award /celebrates/astronomer-bryan-gaensler-wins-canadian-astronomical-society-award <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Astronomer Bryan Gaensler wins Canadian Astronomical Society award</span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-type/research-innovation" hreflang="en">Research &amp; Innovation</a></div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>perry.king</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2019-06-28T00:00:00-04:00" title="Friday, June 28, 2019 - 00:00" class="datetime">Fri, 06/28/2019 - 00:00</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-people field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/faculty" hreflang="en">Faculty</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-campus field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-campus/st-george" hreflang="en">St. George</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/dunlap-institute-astronomy-astrophysics" hreflang="en">Dunlap Institute for Astronomy &amp; Astrophysics</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/community" hreflang="en">Community</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-orientation field--type-list-string field--label-hidden field__item">landscape</div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/media/Bryan-Gaensler.jpg" width="1140" height="760" alt="Photo of Bryan Gaensler "> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-cutline-long field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item">(photo courtesy of the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy &amp; Astrophysics)</div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><strong>Bryan Gaensler</strong>, the director of the University of Toronto’s Dunlap Institute for Astronomy &amp; Astrophysics, has been honoured with the 2019 Peter G.
