Past Research: Ephraim is a graduated ABEL member. He joined as a 3QQ3 research project student.  He helped Ph.D. student, Aneesh Bose, to count eggs by digitally quantifying Midshipman eggs from field nest photographs using the ImageJ program. In his 4th year he did his thesis project with the ABEL lab.  He was supervised by Jessica Miller and Sigal Balshine. His project focused on sperm competition between the different reproductive tactics of the midshipman males. Specifically, he looked at differential sperm morphology and see the potential effects of mucins and other components of seminal vesicle fluid on sperm performance in fertilizing ability. 

Current Position: Ephraim graduated from McMaster University in 2017.
