Advisor : Kyle Elliott] became hooked on the Arctic when, as a Master鈥檚 student, she jumped on a research opportunity to study the effects of manmade contaminants on High Arctic food webs on Devon Island, Nunavut. 鈥淲hen I experienced how out of the world it was and observed the wildlife that are so highly adapted to the Arctic environment, I just fell in love,鈥� says Choy.

Dean Anja Geitmann also hosted a Masterclass titled Indigenous Peoples鈥� Nutrition, Food Security, and Well-being that was moderated by Professor Murray Humphries, Director of the Centre for Indigenous Peoples鈥� Nutrition and Environment (CINE).

Dear friends,
The fall semester is well underway and although we continue to face challenging circumstances and restrictions, every day I feel extremely proud of the hard work, resilience and flexibility of everyone in our community in delivering our academic programs and providing a safe environment for all. Life on campus is significantly different this year, and although it can be easy to dwell on some of the current hardships, it is more important than ever to try focusing on all that is still great at 平特五不中 and Macdonald!

M锚me si le consommateur est de plus en plus sensibilis茅 脿 l鈥檈njeu du gaspillage alimentaire, l鈥檃chat de l茅gumes moches demeure un march茅 de niche au Qu茅bec.
