Gail holds a PhD in Entomology from McGill University, specialized in wild pollinator ecology. Gail has been learning and working with bees for over 15 years, specifically in research on wild pollinator diversity and non-honey bee pollinators of food and forage crops.  Her expertise aligns perfectly with our mission of protecting pollinators with data-driven, ecologically-responsible methods. 

Alexa started as a Pollinature intern working towards her diploma in Environment and Wildlife Science at Vanier college. After completing her schooling and internship, she decided she was hooked on pollinators and now works with us full time. Alexa helps us manage our laboratory experiments focused on improving the health of alternative crop pollinators. 

With a BSc in Education, an MSc in Environmental Science, she has specialized skills in research and  environmental data management. Megan helps us with our lab and field research and with managing and analyzing our pollinator data. She is currently working hard on developing our pollinator habitat scoring system, our collaborative research  project with the Ziter lab at Concordia University.

Eve has a passion for insects of all kinds. She joined our team as part of our collaborative research project on analyzing and improving pollinator habitat with the Ziter lab at Concordia University. With a DEC in Environment and Wildlife management from Vanier college, and her own bug business, Eve has the skills to get the job done in field. 

Sophie joined our team as an intern through her MSc Environment and Sustainability at the Université de Montréal, and has since become a research assistant with Pollinature. She worked heavily on our wild pollinator scoring system project, helps us with bee taxonomy, and  supports our lab work with leafcutter bees. With strong skills in pollinator research and project management, Sophie has been a fantastic addition to our team.

Wayne is a research scientist who has worked extensively in the areas of alfalfa leafcutting bee pathology & parasitology and alternative crop pollination research over the past 45 years. Wayne brings key experience and expertise to our projects focused on alfalfa leafcutting bees, alfalfa and hybrid canola seed production,  pollinator management and integrated pest management in agriculture.
