Lisa McDonnell is currently pursing a PhD (a.k.a. a crash course in how-to-be-a-scientist, teacher, and manager of time - or slave of time) in the Faculty of Forestry, Wood Science. She is studying in a tree biotechnology lab - although not creating genetically altered trees to grow in nature - but using biotechnology tools to study the basic functions of genes and proteins in plant development and wood formation. She also enjoys cooking, wine, and would gladly debate the pros and cons of biotechnology at any time.
