I will be running my first ever half-marathon in Ottawa, ON in 2026! 🎉

In light of this, I am fundraising for the Canadian Cancer Society and running for those in my life who have been impacted by cancer.

New story out! Side project from the PhD that turned out to be quite interesting. Are chloroplastic ROS the initial trigger for SA biosynthesis in its originating organelle in plant immunity?

Please, have a read and find out for yourself 😀!
