Firstly, we would like to welcome Thi Lai To back to the Livestock Gentec team. Lai is a research technician who will be helping with genotype inventorying and order proc essing in the “Using genomics to improve the profitability and sustainability of Alberta’s beef industry” project and lab work and coordination for the NSERC project: “Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from the Canadian Beef Industry through the Development and Adoption of Genomic Tools”. Lai is very passionate about innovations and applying new technology in livestock research. She likes to plan out/detail projects keeping herself busy in the labs and continuously explore new learning opportunities. Outside of work, she enjoys making no weekend plans, which allow her “to just do whatever I feel like: having a long walk, cooking or staying at the library.”
