The Semeniuk lab is so proud of Maya Haida, Jasvinder Mann, and Nadeen Shaabana for their research presentations during the Honours Thesis Undergraduate Colloquium. You all represented the lab so well! Nadeen’s talk earned top presentation in Ecology, a combination of making computer modelling easily understandable to everyone, and turtles.

The Semeniuk lab was out in force at the Devonshire Research Showcase with our live-tracking cameras and goldfish completing behavioural trials with mirrors and legos. Our display was enjoyed by everyone, and Predator-on-a-String (POAS) is always an interactive crowdpleaser.

We’ll be at Science Rendezvous this Saturday May 7th if you missed this event!

Congratulations Pauline, who was awarded the Chris Wysiekierski Memorial Scholarship by the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Windsor! She has proven her research excellence in Ecology studying aquatic ecosystems.

Congratulations Mitch on making it to final round! Please come out and support him this Wednesday, March 30 at 2PM in the CAW Ambassador Auditorium.

Last Monday and Tuesday, Lida needed a few more hands on deck to collect the invasion front gobies in her last two rivers. Luckily, the lab, and even the Love lab, stepped up. Natalie, Mitch, Meagan, Oliver, Tina, Lida and Kevyn managed to collect the last of Lida’s samples, right as the water was cooling off for fall. Everyone had a great time. Good job Lida!

Lida arrived back from the field with Kevyn and Pauline, goby samples in hand. We ended up finding Lida’s last invasion front in the back-up of the back-up river. Highlight of the trip: pulling up a 31 gram goby at the invasion front!
