Grace Anna Burgess
Biography:
Meet Grace Burgess, who has been in the lab for two years. Initially in her 3rd year she did her Integrated Science project with Dr. Andy Turko, spending her time aging otoliths and scales from the endangered redside dace. Last year Grace was a thesis student and investigated the dispersal ability of baby round gobies. This summer she has been helping in beautiful British Columbia with a number of plainfin midshipman projects. Grace says the midshipman might be her favourite fish species so far. One of the earliest memories she has from elementary school is rearing salmon in our classroom which probably kick-started her af-fin-nity for aquatic life!
