We will highlight folks from the CRI in each issue. Our first spotlight is on:
Dr. Brittany Graham - post-doc (Cunjak Lab) and Science Manager (SINLAB)
Britt obtained her Ph.D. in early 2008 from the University of Hawaii (Dept. of Oceanography) where she studied the foraging and migration habits of tuna in the Pacific Ocean using stable isotopes. During her time in Hawaii, she worked closely with Dr. Brian Popp (supervisor) and Dr. Brian Fry. A M.Sc. from Michigan State University (Environmental Geosciences where she studied Pacific salmon and marine derived nutrients in Alaskan streams) and a B.Sc. (Biology) from the University of Minnesota highlight a diverse background for someone so early in their career. As Science Manager in the Stable Isotopes in Nature lab (SINLAB), her primary responsibility will be to conduct independent and collaborative field and lab-oriented research involving the analysis of stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and sulphur. In addition to her research focus, Britt will be providing advice to SINLAB clients and CRI-UNB graduate students and faculty on sample collection and project design as well as the interpretation of stable isotope data.
