Dr. Allie Tissot

Thank you so much!!!!

Allie is standing in front of a PowerPoint that says “Pesticides as Multiple Stressors to Bivalves and Echinoderms” looking very proud. She’s wearing a floral button up shirt and black pants and a shell lei.

A group of people are standing with Allie in a conference room, all smiling. One of them is holding up a laptop with a person on Zoom also smiling.

On Thursday I defended my PhD dissertation and I’m officially Dr. Tissot 🥹💪🏼

I wish I could just put 🤷🏻‍♀️ in certain parts of my dissertation.

Absolutely love reading a paper about a pesticide that’s been in use for over a decade that says “we know nothing about its environmental fate.” 😳🤔

Thank you @booker.senate.gov 🙏🏼

That’s absolutely horrifying, why??

I feel like doing a PhD is basically the Rocky training montage on repeat weekly for 5+ years

These are the glorious stories I’ll be telling my niblings one day, clams are everything.

Yayayay congrats Clarissa!!!

Not only is this incredibly cool but man this is figure goals 👌🏼👌🏼 These are stunning.

High fertiliser use halves numbers of pollinators, world’s longest study finds Even average use of nitrogen fertilisers cut flower numbers fivefold and halved pollinating insects

High fertiliser use halves numbers of #pollinators, world’s longest study finds

A study by the RPTU is the first to examine #pesticide contamination over a year. It shows that substances can be detected not only during the spraying periods in the fields but also throughout the year and in adjacent meadows.

Nepal has taken a significant step in public health by banning the production, sale, and use of three highly hazardous pesticides: paraquat, chlorpyrifos, and phorate. These chemicals have been associated with severe health risks. ipen.org/news/nepal-l...

Truly a masterpiece 👏🏼👏🏼

and they should be made accessible to everyone. If anyone ever has respectful questions, I’m happy to talk more about my diabetes and how it’s been having to manage it as a fieldwork loving scientist. 🩵

I was diagnosed at age 17 completely out of nowhere (ironically while getting bloodwork done for a different chronic illness). These photos are from a couple years ago, but I’ve been incredibly privileged in getting to have an insulin pump and glucose monitor. They’ve truly added years to my life 2/

Yesterday was disability awareness day (oops)! I have a number of disabilities ranging from chronic illness to neurodivergence, but one that really rules my day to day is Type 1 Diabetes. 1/

Devastating to see this happening still. 💔

Ahahaha thank you so much!! Definitely one of the highlights of my PhD. 😊

Great to “meet” you too!! I saw you’re also T1D and I’m absolutely stoked to meet another ‘betes baddie. 💪🏼

These are some photos of me doing field and lab work for my PhD! Excited to meet folks!

Hey everyone! I figured I should go ahead and introduce myself. My name is Allie Tissot and I’m an ecotoxicologist who primarily studies pesticides and microplastics and their effects on marine invertebrates. I’m queer and disabled and very passionate about intersectional environmentalism. 🩵

I’d love to be included please! Thank you!

This is incredible, there are so many issues with Ocean Cleanup and this is an excellent outline!! Thank you!!
