Maura "Molly'' Rutherford, BSC
Molly is a first-year master’s student at the University of Ottawa. Graduating in Human Kinetics from St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Molly completed her honours thesis on the effects of caffeine and menstrual phase on performance in female athletes during heat stress. During her undergraduate research, Molly was funded through the Nova Scotia Health Research Foundation
Madison Schmidt, BSC
Madison is currently completing her master’s degree with the Human and Environmental Physiology Research Unit at the University of Ottawa. Madison graduated in Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa and completed her honours thesis observing regional difference in sweating and skin blood flow in young men during exercise in the heat. Her recent research interests is focusing on the effects of menstrual cycle phase on whole-body heat loss during exercise

Brodie Richards, BSC
Brodie is a first-year master’s student at the Human and Environmental Physiology Research Unit. Since joining the lab, Brodie has helped with occupational heat stress studies, clinical trials evaluating physiological responses to heatwaves and a field study observing heat strain in children. Brodie recently completed his BSc. in human kinetics at uOttawa, his honors project observed the efficacy of short-term ambient cooling for limiting thermal strain in older adults during heatwaves.
