Already the end of a great week of #red #oak #sampling in Gatineau / Ottawa with Nathalie Isabel Lisa Sebastien Meunier #genomics #tree #research

#Red #oak #leaf sampling continues! Wonderful week in #Montreal in search of great specimens with Lisa ! Nathalie Isabel Ilga Porth CFL Science #Genomics #trees #urban #forest

You know you’re doing #urban #fieldwork when your biggest challenge is… navigating around #sprinklers to gather leaves and measure DBH! 😅 #Montreal #red #oak Lisa Nathalie Isabel Ilga Porth

Thank you so much Dr. Jill Hamilton Melissa Lehrer Kyra LoPiccolo for this amazing week!! #Fraxinus #trees #tree #dna Nathalie Isabel

Exciting news! 🎉 My MSc paper on Betula shrubs' syngameon is out! Big thanks to all the sampling teams who made this research possible! 🙌 #betula #birch #syngameon #genomics #adaptation Julie Godbout Nathalie Isabel Ilga Porth Evolutionary Applications onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Awesome all hands #TeamAsh day planting our black ash common garden experiment in our new greenhouses at Mendel’s Way. The ash seeds are so pretty!! And capped off the day with a gorgeous ride home from the greenhouse #happyvalley ⁦PSU Ecosystems⁩ ⁦PSUAgScienceResearch⁩

Exciting news! 🎉 My first paper on oak genomics, exploring the potential of oak species for future reforestation efforts in Canada, is now available. doi.org/10.1007/s11295… #Genomics #oaks #2billiontrees Ilga Porth Nathalie Isabel Dr. Melanie Zacharias raju_aafc Guillaume Otis Prud’homme

A syngameon? A reproductive species network in North American subarctic Betula shrubs sheds light on genetic diversity and adaptive strategies of shrub birches amidst climate change and the need for holistic conservation approach with Lyne Touchette doi.org/10.1111/eva.13…

Visualizing Science! I'm holding a series of free, online workshops, thanks to Johns Hopkins University. All are welcome! I plan to have fun with Danielle VanBrabant, Damond Kyllo, and Amey Zhang to introduce visualization topics and challenges. No art experience is necessary.
