Jennifer has recently completed her Ph.D in animal behaviour at the University of Guelph, where she studied how the temperament and handling experience of pigs influence their behaviour and stress physiology at slaughter, and meat quality.  Jennifer has a diverse academic background, including a degree in Fine Arts, and B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from the University of Prince Edward Island. Her M.Sc. research was in toxicology, and looked at the neurotoxic mechanism of amino acids produced by marine algae. Before beginning her PhD she lived and worked in PEI for several years doing research in toxicology and clinical chemistry, and kept a small hobby farm.
