My first, first author paper is out! We examined how simulated habitat complexity, through the addition of substrate in which prey can escape predation, affects the functional response of invasive European green crabs (Carcinus maenas) foraging on two different bivalve species.

What does a scientist look like? Children are drawing women more than ever before

One cool thing about this paper is that it comes out of an ‘Intro to #Research ’ course that 3 of the co-authors (incl lead author Kiara Kattler) took as undergrads #BenefitsBeyondClassroom SFU Science

Non-native mudsnails are found hosting native barnacles where the weight of the epibiont can exceeds the weight of the snail itself... a form of biotic resistance perhaps? New paper out now! 🐌 doi.org/10.1007/s10530… SFU Biological Sciences Isabelle M Côté Hannah Watkins

It's feet first, Chantale, not head first!

We had our first half-day of R&R in La Gomera yesterday. What a strikingly beautiful island! Its volcanic origin is evident in every vista.

Are we jazzed about our new departure date of 13 December? Yes, we are!

#WorldsToughestRow #Atlantic2023 #OceanWomen

We got to row Emma! Took her for a short spin yesterday just off La Gomera to check her systems. Our watermaker now works. Phew! Autotiller issues still to fix but we have time. Race start now moved to 13 Dec!

#WorldsToughestRow #Atlantic2023 #OceanWomen

Woohoo! We made Page 1 of the Vancouver Sun!

Emma is in the water! And she still floats!

This is going to be 'home, sweet home' for Noelle Helder and I for the next 5-6 weeks... and we have the 'large' cabin!

#WorldsToughestRow #Atlantic2023 #OceanWomen

Mmmm, the weather is not looking super cooperative for a 12 Dec departure. (La Gomera is the white dot.) We might leave on the 10th instead. Stay posted!
