A warm welcome to Jack Brand!

It’s super exciting to have Dr Jack Brand joining Prof. Tomas Brodin and I as a Postdoctoral Researcher this week! Jack’s project will primarily involve using advanced analytical approaches to interpret data collected in large-scale acoustic telemetry studies on the effects of chemical pollution on aquatic species. This includes, for example, high-resolution positioning of contaminated fish populations in lakes and ponds, as well as tracking of whole-river-to-sea migration in species such as Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). In addition, Jack will be involved in a variety of other projects, such as investigating whether impacts of exposure to pharmaceutical pollutants are dependent on brain size in fish, and studies testing the relationship between pre- and post-copulatory reproductive traits in aquatic species.
