I am Julie

Hi,

I am Julie from China. I came to Guelph for the third time in March last year, and have been living here.
The first time I came to Guelph was in Jan. 2012 for visiting my husband during Chinese New Year holiday. The second time I came to Guelph was in July, 2013 as a visiting scholar in University of Guelph, and had stayed for half one year.

When I was a visiting scholar in University of Guelph, I learned in a lab which focus on plant molecular biology. My major is crop science. My research interesting focuses on corn breeding, corn agronomy and physiology.
