My favorite science experience had to be meeting Dr. Roberta Bondar who worked at the Great Lakes Forestry Centre when she was a student attending university. Dr. Roberta Bondar was the second Canadian and the first Canadian woman to go into space aboard the space shuttle Discovery. Shortly after her historic flight, she visited our Centre to give a firsthand account of her experience. It was awesome!! Here is a photo of me setting up one of the traps for the pine shoot beetle. The pine shoot beetle emerges very early in the spring so our traps had to be installed while snow was still covering the ground (and me).
