Ignace Lab PhD student, Miah Godek, has advanced to candidacy! 🎉 I was impressed by the depth and breadth of knowledge during the comprehensive exam. Miah is also co-advised by the awesome @warrencm.bsky.social and studying the impacts of fire on the below-ground community in the Okanagan Valley.

How many pieces of chocolate did it take to get through the term? 100! I always have chocolate available for student drop-in hours. I pass them out to faculty too. I ate the last of the variety pack on Wednesday after we wrapped up Intro to Forest Ecology @ubcforestry
The last chocolate from two variety packs.

Hi everyone! Good to see you on this platform. I’m a member of the Coeur d’Alene tribe studying the impacts of fire, climate change, and introduced species on ecosystem health. My cat’s name is Chimichanga and I like to play board/card games with my husband. Lately we’ve been playing Yahtzee!!! 🎲
Just a nerdy picture of me on campus after the first day of class.
