Text: Scientist Spotlight, Virginie Chalifoux, PhD Student, UBC. Virginie Chalifoux is a Ph.D. student in Applied Animal Biology in the Faculty of Land and Food Systems at the University of British Columbia. Her work explores the relationships between fish ecology and their responses to climate change stressors.

Picture: A woman with brown hair and a knit toque wears a black jacket and a life jacket and smiles at the camera. She is sitting in the bow of a zodiac on the water with steep tree covered hills and shorelines, typical of the Pacific northwest, in the background. The background for this graphic is a picture of a person’s hands cupping seaweed that is covered in small, gelatinous herring embryos, translucent eggs ~1 mm in diametre.
