The 5 top-rated abstracts submitted by Canadian scientists were featured. The scientists, including Dr. Longmuir, were asked to describe their area of research and how they became engaged in their field of research.
Dr. Longmuir made another presentation this morning titled, “Physical activity, fitness, motor skill and activity attitudes among children with simple and complex heart defects”. Authors were P.E.
