Recent Happenings - Cunjak Lab

Also, this past December the Cunjak lab organised the CRI Christmas Party. With nearly 60 people attending, the celebration went off without a hitch. To catch up those who couldn’t attend, the night included dinner, planet earth trivia, smashing our sturgeon piñata smashing (video of piñata smashing) and followed up with plenty of karaoke and dancing. Thanks to everyone for joining in on the fun this year.

Also, thank you for purchasing tickets for our raffle basket. All the proceeds were donated to Grace House and we managed to raise almost $300!

Katrina Chu has taken on a new part-time position as lab technician in the Stable Isotope Lab (SINLAB) to learn the special techniques associated with stable isotope analysis. In the SINLAB Katrina is responsible for running the NC2500 as well as the Delta XP Mass Spectrometer.


Members of the Cunjak lab (Kurt, Katrina and Britt) attended this year’s CCFFR conference held in Ottawa, ON in early January. Katrina gave a great presentation on her research surrounding the effects of artificial fertilization on productivity within inner Bay of Fundy streams. Both Kurt and Britt didn’t present at this conference but were fantastic moral support for Katrina, great job guys!
