March - June 1994: Research
Technician - Dr. Don Levitan, Florida State University
(BMSC)
Fertilization success in Strongylocentrotus spp.
Laboratory experiments included energetic content assays,
fertilization assays, counting sperm and eggs. Field-work
was conducted by SCUBA, and examined the effects of wave
exposure and mass spawning events on fertilization success
(see Nature 1996, 382:153-155)

Technician - Dr. Fu-Shiang Chia, University of
Alberta (BMSC)

maternal diet on embryonic development in isopods.
September 91 - December 94: MSc,
