Our research group has published a new paper entitled "Biomarkers of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Sub-Arctic and Arctic communities in Canada" in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health.
Two of our research group members, Victoria Gevaert and Sara Packull-McCormick presented their research virtually at the International Society of Exposure Science (ISES) 2020 Annual Meeting.
Please take a look at this article on Dr. Heidi Swanson's work on mercury and omega-3 fatty acid levels in fish in Northern Canada that are important to local First Nations communities and how this relates to the work done by our research group.
Thank you to Victoria! Victoria Leger was an invaluable part of our research team.
Congratulations to Dr. Mylène Ratelle for winning the poster presentation award at the 2018 Tribal Environmental Health Summit in Corvallis, Oregon! Her presentation was titled " Community-Based Contaminant Biomonitoring in the Northwest Territories, Canada".
Our own Leicester Fung presented his poster presentation entitled "Internal and External Exposure Analysis of Mercury amongst Dene and Métis Communities of Northwest Territories" at the inaugural Global Water Futures Annual Science Meeting.
Victoria, Jean, and Sara had a great time at the Diversity of Life Nature Walk and Talk!
Thank you to Northern Water Futures (NWF) for having us at your second student training session! We enjoyed learning about data management for northern research. We are looking forward to attending the next session!
Many thanks to our co-op student Jean Napenas who spent the last four months working as part of our human exposure and toxicology research group team!
