In this podcast, I talk with Vanessa Jones and Natalie Cook, two recent university grads who are doing research into the effects of climate change in suburban Burnaby, British Columbia. I always find it inspiring to hear stories of young people who, while getting a good education, meet people along the way that influence and change their direction towards finding their mission in life.

Both of these researchers studied under Dr. Dave Clements at Trinity Western University. Dr. Clements has been a guest on Science360, and his connections were able to land the funding for this research in the City of Burnaby. Now with their research wrapping up, both look forward to further studies...Vanessa doing graduate research into invasive plant species at UVic and Natalie in GIS at BCIT and dendrochronology at UBC. And if you don't know what those are, neither did I! But Natalie will explain it to you. Enjoy...
