Hannah Brazeau (PhD student): Hannah joined the lab in Winter 2021, after completing her MSc at the University of New Brunswick.  She was awarded a University of Guelph Graduate Tuition Scholarship, an Ontario Graduate Scholarship, and an NSERC CGS-D.  She is studying the ecological consequences of floral evolution in response to pollinator decline. 

Gurleen Chana (undergraduate research assistant, undergraduate thesis student): Gurleen joined the lab in Summer 2022.  For her undergraduate thesis project, she tested whether a plastic extension in floral longevity in response to pollinator decline is adaptive.  Gurleen won a Young Botanist Award from the Botanical Society of America, and will be spending Summer 2023 working in the lab as a research assistant.

Jacqueline Thomson (PhD student): Jacqueline Thomson joined the. lab in Summer 2022. She is studying fungal endophytes with Jonathan Newman (who is now a VP at Wilfrid Laurier University, so Chris is acting as her co-advisor).
