IN MEMORIAM
Its with heavy heart we acknowledge the passing of Melissa Spearing. Melisa was a part-time MScF student in our lab, co-supervised with Dr. Loic D’Orangeville. She also worked for Natural Resources Canada (the National Seed Centre) where she was affectionally known as the “Seed Guru”. Melissa was bright, enthusiastic and had a true passion for plants and the natural world. She will be very much missed.
