Lynora Saxinger

Class of 2024

Lynora Saxinger is an incurably curious infectious diseases physician and professor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, with a prior focus on antibiotic stewardship and resistance and more recent work in evidence synthesis, knowledge translation and science communication to the public through traditional and social media. Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, she had a significant role in COVID evidence synthesis for health system leaders and also engaged in traditional media (more than 2,500 interviews) and social media (predominantly Twitter), trying to help counter dangerous misinformation. She is commonly found to be either figuring something out or sorting out how to figure something out.
