What better way to christen my twitter than with an article about my undergrad experience! 🪲 Now off to the forest tomorrow to search for MPB trapping sites.

Our Co-Lead PI Janice Cooke gives the first talk of the First North American Forest Genetics Society Conference #NAFGS today - "Not just lucky: Lodgepole pine survivors of mountain pine beetle outbreaks share a genomic signature for resilience." Genome Alberta Ontario Genomics

Big shout-out to our hard-working field team from the Evenden Lab at UAlberta, who've been busy finding mountain pine beetle-attacked trees, setting MPB traps, sampling, AND providing great photos. @robotonia Leanne Petro Yiyang Wu Dr. Maya Evenden Genome Alberta Faculty of Science, University of Alberta
