Aurora Patchett is presently an undergraduate at the University of Guelph, majoring in Ecology. Coming from Toronto she is a big city girl, but her heart is in the wilderness. Aurora was introduced to the lab in the summer of 2010, when she conducted an undergraduate research project focussed on the effect of endophyte presence in Tall Fescue grasses on nematode abundance in soil. Since her project, she has continued to work at a part time research assistant in the lab.
