Meet Emily Marston
In March 2024, Spark was thrilled to have Emily Marston speak to guests on behalf of the Arctic Institute of North America about her work. In her own words she said, “It felt like a full circle moment. The Calgary Science Centre is what ‘sparked’ my interest in science when I was five years old. It put me on my path, and yesterday, the incredible people that I work with at the Arctic Institute got to present our work at TELUS Spark!”
Currently, Emily is a Project Coordinator for the Arctic Institute of North America, working on Arctic Genomics, developing tools to support environmental decision making, and the Canadian BioGenome Project which is providing the first genomic assessment of biodiversity of Canadian species.
