After wrapping up his postdoc, Matt will be starting as an assistant professor at UMass Lowell! His lab will focus on zooplankton ecology and adaptation, building on some of his fellowship projects.

After several months of hard work in the lab, Rama, Elizabeth and Wynne, seniors at South Burlington High School, won the top prize at the Vermont STEM Fair! Their project examined how increased salinity affects copepod thermal limits. They’ll go on to compete at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Los Angeles in May.
