Gwyneth Anne MacMillan

I completed my PhD in Biological Sciences at the Université de Montréal in 2018 and I am now pursuing a postdoctoral fellowship at the Centre for Indigenous Peoples’ Nutrition and Environment (CINE) at McGill University. I am interested in how ecology can influence the fate of contaminants and the quality of fish and wildlife resources important to northern Indigenous Peoples. During my thesis, entitled “Hunting for trace metals in a rapidly changing North: limnological, ecological, and collaborative approaches”, I carried out fieldwork in Nunavik, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories.
