In work led by Shelby Clarke, we explored differences in thermal tolerance from two sources of mussels in Atlantic Canada at a physiological, behavioural and molecular level. Very excited to have this one out!

Finished deploying our oyster cages across Cape Breton today with my Honours student, Elise! We will be assessing MSX-driven mortality throughout the summer and looking for genetic markers of disease resistance after!

As a panelist at the Canadian Genomics Summit, Dr. Tiago Hori highlighted how climate change is threatening shellfish aquaculture in a myriad of ways. Good thing funding from @genomecanada.bsky.social is helping us develop new genomics tools to solve these challenges!

If you're attending #PAG31, do not miss my talk on Saturday at 16:10 during the #Aquaculture session in Palm 3-4. I'll also be presenting a poster (# PE0440) on the same topic on Monday starting at 10:00. I promise it'll be a shell of a good time!
