Domtar Sustainability: Bridging the Gap in Forest Certification

What is the difference between certified wood fiber and fiber from sustainably-managed forests? It depends on your perspective.

For me, the most valuable part of Amgen Scholars Program was working in a laboratory. I met great people who made me feel appreciated and loved.

In my host laboratory, I found the field that I am passionate about and where I really want to continue working in the future: microalgae research.
