My incredible friend Sara has published a WILD paper from her soon-to-be-completed PhD, which is about IMMORTAL SEA CUCUMBER BITS www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Violet is now starting an MSc to further investigate the thermal stress responses of triploid blue mussels. So stay tuned for more exciting research to come from her!
This work provides important recommendations for hatcheries, as stable temperatures improve the survival of triploid larvae. Also, while our current pressure shock induction method works well for mussels from Prince Edward Island, the protocol could be optimized for mussels from other regions.
Incredibly proud of the first Honours student I co-supervised, Violet Chilvers, who published her thesis in Aquaculture Research! Her research explored how source, ploidy and thermal regime impact the growth and survival of blue mussel larvae.

Since moving to Iceland to start my career with Benchmark Genetics, LandbasedAQ wrote a nice piece on what my goals are to help advance salmon breeding! www.landbasedaq.com/atlantic-sal...
Very excited to be joining the team!
