Students of the Culp lab continue to reside in the Enterprise building, ‘building #2’, although it’s marked number eight on the outside (different from where we were last year, in the main enterprise building)… Also housed in our vicinity are students from a number of different labs including the Baird lab, Courtenay lab and Curry lab.
A gang of CULPrits went to ATW in Saskatoon in October. Heidi LeBlanc. gave a talk entitled Effects of a ternary agricultural insecticide mixture on two aquatic invertebrates. Laura G. gave a talk entitled An Assessment of Land-use Effects on Stream Metabolism. Touring the extensive lab facilities at the NWRI head office was enjoyed by all!

Allison Ritcey spent the summer doing field work in northern Labrador to study subarctic stream food webs and functional processes such as decomposition and primary production. The scenery was magnificent, the food was great and Inuit friends were made. And of course, lots of work was done!
