Thanks for following along with my stories and asking questions!
This is Brea DeBettignies signing off!
#umanitoba #sciencecoop #coopprogram #computerscience
Hello!!! My name is Brea DeBettignies and I will be doing the Instagram takeover today.😊
I am a 4th year honours computer science student specializing in databases.👩🏼💻 I am also an executive for the student group Women In Computer Science, a team representative for the University of Manitoba Athletic Council, and a member of the U of M Bisons soccer team.⚽️
This semester I am completing my first co-op work term with TC Energy and relocated to Calgary. My main project I have been working on is developing an app to help automate some tasks within the company.
As an international student from the U.S., it has been such an amazing opportunity to be able to live and adventure around another Canadian city!
Check out the Instagram stories I will be posting throughout the day to see what a typical work day looks like for me. Also feel free to send me questions, I’d love to answer them!

Thank you for following along with us today at the Weeds Lab in Carman MB! Working here for the summer has been a new and fun experience, as well as a great introduction to what field research looks like. We have an amazing little group where we are able to share a lot of laughs and luckily our boss has been fantastic and very understanding when there is extreme heat or if something comes up.
A highlight for me has been learning weed ID as I am focused on plants in my degree and I enjoy getting up close in the dirt to identify plants. Also using a seeder attached to a tractor at the beginning of the season to seed the trials was really neat. I am interested in starting a farm in the future so experience with machines and tools I have never used has been really useful. -Gabby
I enjoy seeing how research is done and contributing to it! -Kirsten
A challenge is definitely the heat waves we have experienced so far, as there is no indoor building we have access to often. We make do by using our cars for air conditioning as needed and drinking tons of water! -Gabby and Kirsten
In the following pictures we are doing some data collection: taking plot photos, doing emergence counts on soybean in 2 rows of 1m each marked between the flags and sampling biomass for wild mustard in an area measured by a metal quadrant.
If you have any questions about the work we are doing or our experience, feel free to message us @kirstenrebillard @gabby08642

Hi everyone, we are Gabby Neufeld and Kirsten Rebillard and we are going to be doing the Instagram takeover for today!
We are both biology majors who are focus on the theme ecology and environmental biology. Gabby is minoring in statistics and Kirsten is minoring in environmental science.
For our current work term, we are working as research assistants in the Weeds Lab in the department of Plant Science here at the University of Manitoba. We spend our days outside at the research station in Carman MB where we work on research trials and collect data. Most of our trials in the Weeds Lab involve growing weeds intentionally or controlling for them. We also go to another farm closer to Winnipeg about once a week called Murphy Farm where we perform fieldwork tasks and data collection too.
Some common crops we have are canola (picture 2), soybean (picture 3) and wheat (picture 4).
We will be posting on Instagram stories throughout the day with some weed and crop ID polls so give them a try to test your knowledge.
Please send us any questions you have about the work we do we are happy and excited to answer! -Gabby and Kirsten

We hope everyone’s having a great summer thus far!
Starting tomorrow, Science Co-op students will be taking over our Instagram page to share about their experience during their Co-op work terms this summer.
Watch out for their stories and learn how they apply Science at work.
