Elmer Lab

Kathryn Elmer is very pleased to have been awarded a membership to the Royal Society of Edinburgh 's Young Academy of Scotland . YAS "fosters interdisciplinary activities among emerging leaders from the disciplines of science and humanities, the professions, the arts, business and civil society". I am very much looking forward to all the new ideas and colleagues brought together by working with YAS.

Kevin Schneider successfully gained a full scholarship from the Fisheries Society of the British Isles to fund his PhD research on comparative ecological genomics of salmonid fishes. Kevin will start his PhD this autumn, working with Kathryn Elmer and Colin Adams. Congratulations to Kevin on winning such a competitive scholarship.

We are happy to host an enthusiastic new bunch of summer students this year. Welcome to Kevin Schneider, who is on an ERASMUS-funded internship who recently finished his Masters in Austria, Marco Crotti, who recently finished his Masters at the Natural History Museum London, Peter Koene, a second year undergraduate student here in Glasgow getting some hands on skills in molecular work, and third year student Paige Robinson who received FSBI internship funding.
