Pitcher Lab

Former @uwindsor.bsky.social post-doc Dr. Britney Firth presenting our labs work on preserving genetic diversity for endangered Atlantic salmon on the east coast of Canada - great collaboration with Fisheries and Oceans Canada

Great talk today by @veronicagroves.bsky.social at the @sebiology.bsky.social regarding the use of surrogates to study at-risk fishes - working with imperilled fishes always important but has its challenges

Look forward to giving a seminar on our lab’s efforts to increase the fitness of animals for conservation reintroduction efforts - @sebiology.bsky.social #sebconference @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social

Made it to the @sebiology.bsky.social conference in Antwerp - look forward to sharing some of our lab’s research regarding the improvement of captive breeding for conservation efforts using evolutionary & ecological principles with physiological/genetic tools

Social card to promote Canadian Science Publishing's newest blog post featuring Trevor Pitcher.

From spawning footage turned kids’ books to lab-grown endangered fish, @pitcherlab.bsky.social‬ is reimagining what conservation looks like. Now co-Editor-in-Chief of @cjfas.bsky.social he's championing inclusive science.

It takes a community to save a fish: A conversation with Dr. Trevor Pitcher | Canadian Science Publishing

I was surprised how much I learned about myself when I did this interview for @cdnsciencepub.com @cjfas.bsky.social when I became an Editor-in-Chief. Link here: blog.cdnsciencepub.com/it-takes-a-c...

Massive congrats to our very own @uwindsor.bsky.social @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social Olivia Galloway who successfully defended her Masters thesis today focused on conservation efforts for Lake Sturgeon and has an environmental science job starting in a week!

Background is an underwater exploration robot. The Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences logo is in the top left corner. Beneath the logo reads 'NOW ACCEPTING' and 'Methods'. The Canadian Science Publishing blaze emblem sits in the bottom right corner.

Now inviting Methods papers! @cjfas.bsky.social has introduced a new article type focused on methodological advances in aquatic sciences. Share your innovative techniques and contribute to the field. Learn more ▶️ buff.ly/ESZ9AGm

Anyone else having fun with final exams? My lab cart is coming in hand @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social
first year biology final exam day! Good luck to all of the students!

I'm quite proud of my colleague Trevor Pitcher @pitcherlab.bsky.social for winning the Roger Thibert Teaching Excellence Award. This is our Faculty of Science's highest teaching honour, going to one of the busiest and most dynamic teachers at the University of Windsor. Congratulations Trevor!

Great to have the first year @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social class (BIOL1111 - Biodiversity) visit the Freshwater Restoration Ecology Centre to learn first hand about research regarding restoring habitat and species at risk fishes - students enjoyed the hands on experience at the end of the year

We are assessing pictures from @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social ⁦‪MSc student study on the effects of tank colour on Chinook salmon fry - here you can see same age fry from white tank (left) and black (right) tank - can you spot the difference?

Great to see our @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social Honours thesis research students representing us so well at the Ontario Biology Day hosted this year at Carleton University - both presented important work related to conservation captive breeding research

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about conservation efforts in our shared waters! The @pitcherlab.bsky.social will be discussing bi-national efforts to reintroduce imperiled aquatic species in the Great Lakes @waynestateclas.bsky.social Zoom link: wayne-edu.zoom.us/j/9804301269...

I look forward to seeing my colleague @dkashian and deliver a seminar for her department at @waynestate next week discussing bi-national efforts to reintroduce aquatic species in the Great Lakes - wayne-edu.zoom.us/j/9804301269...

Thanks to @j-reid.bsky.social we had a great showing for @cdnsciencepub.bsky.social journals including CJFAS - look forward to the next @scas-scsa.bsky.social meeting co-hosted with our colleagues at @iaglr.bsky.social

@uwindsor.bsky.social grads representing today at the @scas-scsa.bsky.social conference @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social

Lots of @uwindsor.bsky.social fisheries and aquatic scientists at the SCAS conference

Hoping to see many of you at the SCAS conference in couple of weeks in Hamilton, ON, Canada to discuss all things fishy, aquatic, limno, etc

Our lab continues to examines ways to mitigate the environmental mismatch issues that captive bred animals (intended for reintroduction) face - examining effects of tank colour on phenotype for salmon conservation

Just a quick note to my fishy, limno and aquatic science folks, I am pleased to announce I will be serving as the co-Editor in Chief for Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences and look forward to connecting with many of you on this platform! Here is the link:
