We know a lot of folks share these thoughts on social media, but it’s also nice to have a central space to hold our thoughts. Please say anything you like: tell us how you met Eli, your favourite memory of her, or share how you’re feeling.

I had the privilege of meeting Eli in the summer of 2022, as we both joined the same committee at Dalhousie University at the same time. I only knew her through our work – we never met outside of meetings – but it was clear, professionally and personally, the kind of person Eli was. She was a force who worked toward equity and inclusion for students and patients. She was willing to challenge others’ perspectives with the goal of improving curriculum and teaching her colleagues at the same time. And she did so with such grace and kindness. I admired her and was so grateful for the opportunity to know her and learn from her.
I was disappointed when she left our committee due to her forthcoming sabbatical and am devastated that I won’t have the opportunity to work with her again.
Eli, you inspired so many of us who were fortunate to land, even briefly, in your academic orbit.
