Emily Palmer is currently working towards completion of her B.Sc. (Env.), majoring in Environmental Biology. From the small town of Carp, Ontario, in the Ottawa Valley, she enjoys travelling the world and learning more about the connection between human impact and the environment. Emily joined the lab based on enthusiasm for the research, as well as previous experience in performing an Environmental Impact Assessment in Australia. She is assisting to conduct the invertebrate survey, and is looking forward to more field work and continuing in her pursuit of education.
