At the time of this recording, Michelle was a PhD student in the Exercise Biochemistry lab at Western. She has since completed her dissertation defence and is on her way to bigger and better things! Michelle and I discuss her research, her path into research, her background and what her future plans are. Michelle freely admits that her undergrad background wasn't very focused in chemistry. However, after speaking with Michelle, it was clear that her drive and determination helped her tremendously throughout her PhD.
