Research from a team in the Poesch lab was highlighted in Ontario Nature magazine. The story about eradication of carp, also discusses new results of a study just accepted and coming out soon in the Journal of Wildlife Management. Former post-doctoral researcher, Dr. Jonathan Ruppert, is highlighted in the piece. Other people who contributed to the study include former lab members Jamie Card and Caitlyn Donadt, and colleague Dr. Caleb Hasler from the University of Winnipeg.
University of Alberta ranked eighth-place (tie with Princeton) in the category of environmental science and engineering—ahead of MIT and University of California, Berkeley by the Shanghai Ranking Consultancy.
University of Alberta also moved up in other rankings, placing 4th in Canada (QS), 37th in North America (QS) and 81st worldwide (NTU)!
Thanks to the Alberta Invasive Species Council for the invitation to present some of our research and to discuss Prussian Carp more broadly!

It was a great honour to give a plenary talk on freshwater invasive species and participate in a panel discussion with Dr. Daniel Simberloff (University of Tennessee), Dr. Chris Thomas (University of York, UK), Jason Fisher and Margo Pybus at this year’s Alberta Wildlife Society meeting in Lethbridge. I really enjoyed the discussion on invasive species! I was also very impressed to see as many as five undergraduate students from my Fish and Wildlife class in attendance! Also happy to see my students Sebastian Theis (PhD candidate), Jesse Shirton (undergraduate) and Jamie Card (undergraduate) present posters on their research!
