Learn more about pediatric health research!

Hey, Researcher! is a new Instagram initiative from BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (BCCHR) where kids and teens submit health-related or medical research-related questions and get short, friendly video answers from BCCHR clinicians, researchers, and scientists in a fun, easy-to-understand format.

You and your family can learn more about pediatric health research-related topics in an entertaining and accessible way!

What kinds of questions can we ask?

Got a question about your body, brain, or health? Ask away! Our researchers will answer in fun, short videos on Instagram.

Parents and caregivers

You can help by encouraging your kids to ask their health-related or medical research-related questions. We’ll post trusted answers from real experts, and you might learn something too!
