Pilar sees the connection between food and technology as a natural one. In fact, cultivating corn in the Americas has involved century old techniques to preserve its nutritional value that have guaranteed the survival of countless populations. In fact, Nixtamalization is a centuries old process in which maize is soaked then cooked with ash or lime high in alkali. It removes almost all fumonisins, resulting in tortillas and other maize based foods being substantially free of these mycotoxins.

To help mitigate these difficulties, socialization through social supports and mentoring are critical to facilitate entry to practice (Robbio, 2018) and may be realized through opportunities for empathetic, authentic, and relational mentoring to address ongoing issues, such as isolation and a lack of social connectivity and mental wellbeing, faced by nursing students (Cengiz et al., 2021). Traditional in-person mentoring may encounter barriers, such as unsupportive work environments, lack of mentor access, heavy workloads and location and distance constraints. To address these limitations, an e-mentoring program for nursing students by nursing students was developed as a viable transitional strategy. This document provides individuals with access to the following openly licensed components from York University’s E-Mentoring Program: Partnering Graduate Nursing Students and Undergraduate Nursing Students: A list of the modules in the fully online program; Access to the survey instruments that were developed and administered to e-mentees and e-mentors prior to the program and at the completion of the program.Item Open Access Loglines: Comment captiver un public en 40 mots et moins(2023) St-Pierre, MeganItem Open Access Loglines: How To Captivate an Audience in 40 Words or Less(2023) St-Pierre, MeganItem Open Access Alexa : Où donc vont mes données?(2022) Harvey, Alison; Ioia, CarminaItem Open Access Traduction : Révèle ton potentiel de communication(2023) Lauffer, Sabine; M, Cédrine; Stacey, Kalin
