On May 14, Marie-Chantal Falardeau, doctoral student in communications at the University of Québec at Trois-Rivères, received her Ph.D. after successfully defending her thesis. The final submission of her thesis is imminent. In June 2020, she begins her post-doctoral studies under the direction of Marie Beaulieu. These studies will be undertaken for the Chartwell-2 project.
