Hello!  I am responsible for the day-to-day operations of InSEAS, which houses the majority of UBC's aquatic animals. I am here to help if you have questions about the equipment or the facility, and how best to make this equipment work for your specific experimental needs.  I am also responsible for overseeing approved Animal Care Protocols and ensuring that InSEAS meets or exceeds all CCAC guidelines.  Please contact me If you have any issues, concerns or questions about the InSEAS facility equipment or anything Animal Care related. If you have more general questions about laboratory safety or how to properly dispose of materials, I can help with of those questions too!
