Candid Conversations Catalyst McGill

In today's episode, we had the privilege of interviewing Sarah Beydoun, the dynamic president of McGill University's Heart for Heart Chapter. This remarkable organization is dedicated to shedding light on congenital heart diseases and mobilizing funds for life-saving surgeries for children in developing regions across the globe.

On today's episode of Candid Conversations, we had the opportunity to interview one of Catalyst's article writers, Waleed Iqbal, to discuss current US politics.



Waleed is a fourth-year Political Science and History student. Being a Pakistani who was born and raised in Saudi Arabia, his third-culture upbringing lends itself to where his areas of interest lie: international relations and politics in the Middle East and South Asia, with a specific interest in imperialism in the Global South.

Bienvenue dans Candid Conversations où nous explorons la dynamique complexe des changements démographiques. Dans notre dernier épisode "Populations en transition : Défis et opportunités", nous avons discuté des efforts de la France pour faire face à la baisse des taux de natalité, du dépassement de la Chine par l'Inde en termes de population, ainsi que des défis et des opportunités liés à une population jeune dans les pays en développement.

Welcome back to Candid Conversations where we explore the complex dynamics of demographic shifts. In our latest episode "Populations in Transition: Challenges and Opportunities,", we discussed France's efforts to address declining birth rates, India's surpassing of China in population, and the challenges and opportunities of youthful demographics in developing countries.
