PhD candidate
BSc (Hons) University of New Brunswick, Saint John campus
James Cook University
Adam completed his BSc (Hons), majoring in marine biology, in 2015 at the University of New Brunswick (Saint John campus). His honors thesis was with Dr. James Kieffer (http://shortnose.weebly.com/) and investigated the impact of acute salinity exposure on survival and hematology of juvenile shortnose sturgeon. Adam continued to work in Dr. Kieffer’s lab as a research technician for most of 2015 after graduation and worked on exercise physiology and substrate preference of juvenile sturgeon. In 2016, he began a 10 month internship with Dr. Jodie Rummer (http://www.jodierummer.com/lab.html), helping students in her lab with their research. In 2017, Adam began his PhD, investigating the exercise physiology and aerobic metabolism of coral reef fish larvae over developmental history. He is supervised by Dr. Jodie Rummer, Prof Mark McCormick and Dr. Peter Cowman.
Researchers have identified key factors that increase the risk of diseases that threaten coral reefs – and their work could one day be used to predict and manage future outbreaks. “Reducing disea
