Ansley’s second MS chapter has been published and she just finished her MS degree in May 2023. Amazing!
Congratulations to Hannah Zinnert (on right) for completing her M.S.! First of my graduate students to get all of their chapters submitted to a journal before graduating! New high bar for the lab!
Alan had a wonderful time at ASLO in Spain. Beautiful place and excellent food. Plus I was able to see graduated (Edna!) and incoming (Gabriela!) students. The HABs session was excellent. Lots of great talks. I presented Saranya’s meta-analysis in front of a huge screen.
One of our remote high school researchers, Rebecca Chen, reported back that her algacide experiment project took home the 2nd place trophy in the Environmental category at the Connecticut STEM Science Fair. Good work, Rebecca.
Three of our super-star undergraduate researchers have graduated. We will miss you, Isabel, Rachel, and Evan.
Excited to report that my past PhD student, Dr. Edna Fernandez-Figueroa, just accepted a tenure track assistant professor position at the University of Tampa. She was also selected as the recipient for the COSAM Dean’s Research Award for a Postdoctoral Scientists in 2023! Congrats, Edna!
Saranya was awarded the Best Student Oral Presentation Award at the World Aquaculture Society meeting in New Orleans. This is an amazing achievement for a high school student giving her first presentation at an international scientific conference. Great job, Saranya!
