Student Accomplishments

Many of our students are recognized for their scientific ideas and accomplishments. We celebrate these in our individual labs, but I think that many of us are unaware of what the students in other labs have achieved. (I certainly was.) Here's a sample:

Michael Brosnahan, who is advised by Don Anderson, won an Outstanding Student Poster Award at the 2009 Gordon Research Conference on Mycotoxins and Phycotoxins. He was also asked to present a "Hot Topics" seminar.

Carter Esch won a North Pacific Research Board Graduate Student Research award to fund passive acoustic monitoring work she will be doing in the Bering Strait. Carter is advised by Mark Baumgartner.

Kelton McMahon won the Sally Richardson Award for the best student presentation at the 33rd Annual Larval Fish Conference. He also won the best student paper award at the 4th International Otolith Symposium for his paper “Stable Carbon Isotope Analysis of Amino Acids in Otolith Protein: A New Tool for Tracking Fish Movement” (M. Fogel, T. Elsdon, I. Mataeo, and S. Thorrold coauthors). Kelton is advised by Simon Thorrold.

Congratulations to Mike, Carter, and Kelton. If you know of any accomplishments of other students, please let me know so that I can properly announce their achievements here.
