Prof. Chan presented the new collaborative work with Prof. Mimi Koehl (UC Berkeley) and Prof. Benny Chan (Academia Sinica) on biomechanics on larvae. Swarthmore undergraduates presented their work on bacterial compound on larval urchin development. 

Prof. Chan has started her appointment at Swarthmore College. She will be teaching marine biology in spring. 

MPhil. student Wilson Yeung from Chan’s lab explains why ocean acidification caused by the increasing global temperature imposes threats to marine invertebrate larvae such as sea urchins, a rare treat for sushi lovers. Watch the full video at https://youtu.be/9EgLWSVxJeI

Prof. chan and her lab will relocate to Swarthmore College, PA as of Jan 1st 2019.
