🐟🐠🐡 #HKU scholar @celiaschunter in collaboration with researchers from other institutions found the basis to variability across different fish species, and that being able to evolve quicker means they can cope with ocean acidification better. More on: https://t.co/LahKOjC5IO

Thank you @dr_dingle and Laura Simonsen for organising the Women in Science exhibition at @HKU! I am really proud to be part of it.
If you are at HKU and you identify as a woman, the project is ongoing and they need you! #WomeninScience #WomenInSTEM @hkuwise @Lou_A_Ashton
