Congratulations to all undergraduate students on their phenomenal work on their final year projects and poster presentations!

Chanlab is supporting this Hong Kong Science Museum exhibit “Miffy and the Ocean” starting on April 5. Children can learn about plastic pollution, plankton, water quality and coral reefs through guided activities and games.

Chanlab trained local middle and high school teachers on Discovery of Ocean Drifters at Hoi Ha Wan Marine Education Center.

Dr. Chan, Abby and Zaldy are presenting at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology at New Orleans.

Dr. Chan gave a public lecture about aquatic invertebrates in Hong Kong Wetland Park on Oct 8th.

New publication on upper thermal limit of tropical sea urchin in collaboration with Dr. Rachel Collin from STRI in Ecology and Evolution.

New collaborative work published in Journal of Experimental Biology.

Dr. Cedric Meunier from Alfred Wegener Institute gave us a talk on how ocean acidification affect zooplankton growth and feeding behavior through the alteration of food elemental composition.

Former lab member Karen Mak presented her work with us at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology at Portland Oregon.

Professor Andrew Cameron from CalTech gave us a talk on a comparative approach to echinoderm genome structure and function. 

Students from local international schools came to visit our coastal marine lab. They had the opportunity to feed living sea urchins and understand the setup for ocean acidification experiment.

Professor Sam Dupont from University of Gothenburg gave us a talk on ocean acidification research approaches and ways of communicating scientific findings in a relatable way with the non-academic community.
