Avani Pathak

Avani is a 4th year BioPsych student that joined the lab in April 2018. She has done a bunch of projects in  the lab and has worked as a summer research assistant on the round goby ART project. This  year she  is returning as a thesis student and will be exploring how temperature preferences  and  acclimation temperature in redside dace (a species at risk in Canada) relates to a number of important behavioural and physiological traits.  Most of her time is spent in the basement of the Psychology building working with  these amazing and sadly now rare fish.  When Avani is not working or studying she can be found making the most beautiful drawings!
