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.

Undergraduates are active in the lab. Some of them are investigating the effect of microplastics on marine invertebrate larvae.

Dr. Chan went to Sven Loven Center for Marine Sciences in Kristineberg to work with an amazing team.

New collaborative work published in Scientific Reports and ICES Journal of Marine Science.

Dr. Chan gave a presentation to S.3-4 students at Tang King Po College on the “secret lives of plankton”.

Congratulations to our final year project student Miss Wong Hoi Ni (BISC) who was awarded the best poster presentation for her work on thermal tolerance of Daphnia.

Dr Paulla Pattrick from South African Institute of Aquatic Biodiveristy join us for a month to exchange techniques and findings on larval physiology and behavior.

Our lab goes to Panama again! This time new graduate student Jessalynn Spears and Research Assistant Karen Mak are both studying how larval urchin cope with warming ocean.
