Way to go Emily and Britney for some really cool work validating thermal agitation in zebrafish…perhaps a better metric for thermal tolerance?! https://t.co/aVoK5ybsSX

[Paul Craig @pcraig77]

Great work from Emily Dodsworth on her 499 thesis poster day! Some very cool work on the point of thermal agitation in zebrafish in collaboration with @Britney_Firth ! Standard professor pointing picture included…

[Paul Craig @pcraig77]

A fun day participating in @WaterlooBio convocation! Proud to have helped n hooding @Britney_Firth and watching so many other fantastic students cross the stage, including @syweinstein28 and Alex Sinik!

Want to know the difference between temperature, hypoxia, and exercise on metabolism in fish? Check out @this_is_brit & @Britney_Firth latest paper in rainbow darters! Great work coming out of the new WATER Facility @WaterlooSci https://t.co/mWRAqott9O

[Journal of Experimental Biology @J_Exp_Biol]

In their #JEB100 Commentary @TurkoLab @Britney_Firth @this_is_brit & co outline why physiological differences between wild & captive animals may occur & discuss strategies to reconcile lab & field results to obtain ecologically relevant data

@Ashley_Watt_M @TNAquarium Have fun!

📢I’m looking for MSc students to join my lab @AlgomaU to study the effects of oil spills on fishes in northern freshwater environments. Co-supervised by ecotoxicologist extraordinaire @eogguy.

✅Physiology & behaviour
✅Fully funded
✅Nature at your doorstep

I had the amazing opportunity to reintroduce Southern Appalachian Brook Trout back to their native range with @TNAquarium Conservation Institute! #Conservation 🐟🐟

[Britney L. Firth @Britney_Firth]

Officially completed thermal tolerance on 5/6 Sand Darters! From top left 🔃 Florida Sand Darter, Naked Sand Darter, Southern Sand Darter & Scaly Sand Darter. Eastern Sand Darter (not shown) is identical to Southern! Even in ID books they only shown one picture for both species!

[Paul Craig @pcraig77]

Check out @WaterlooBio PHD candidate @Britney_Firth working in partnership with the @TNAquarium extending her Eastern sand darter thermal tolerance work to Southern populations of Ammocrypta species. Can’t wait to see all the amazing data! https://t.co/EIMe7AGXWd

@DianaSMadeira @rasmusern How small are these fish?

[Britney L. Firth @Britney_Firth]

First week done conducting thermal tolerance on Eastern Sand Darter in the field. Plus a cool catch of a Mudpuppy!

[Dr. Gretchen Hansen @gretchen_H20]

How can we predict species responses to #climatechange if they are going to experience temperatures that we have not observed yet? New paper in @PNASNews led by Ty Wagner incorporates thermal tolerances into statistical models of abundance. https://t.co/9fxhK4xW3s

Very proud to present @this_is_brit as the 2022 #NSERC and @lorealcanada @CCUNESCO @4WomenInScience Fellow!

Thank you for being a role model for the research community and for future scientists and engineers!

Do #antidepressants affect thermal tolerance (#agitation & #CTmax) and HSP expression in #zebrafish? Allison Weber explores this question in our new #preprint. This was Allison’s (current MSc) undergrad thesis working with @Britney_Firth & @IvanCadonic. https://t.co/ZjB2csrQK4

I ❤️ @APS_CEPS. Had such a good time. Thanks @SLUCompPhys and the APS staff for organizing, and to @Britney_Firth and @pcraig77 for inviting me. I don't have a picture to go with this tweet but here's @DrTBlew giving an awesome talk as usual, earlier today.

[Paul Craig @pcraig77]

A great fall day for field work! Lots of fish (darters and shiners) and many projects happening all at once…behavioural work, thermal tolerance, and hypoxia tolerance #climateeffects plus a cool side catch of a four toed salamander

[Britney L. Firth @Britney_Firth]

@Ashley_Watt_M I have wanted to do this for so long! All different fish species of course. I am visiting Trevor Pitcher in October and if you are around I would be interested in talking with you! I work with Eastern Sand Darter.
