She holds the Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Integrative Molecular Biogeochemistry.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTSC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Fri, 06 Jan 2023 20:30:52 +0000 lanthierj 178788 at
