Dr. Tony Williams from the Department of Biological Sciences at Simon Fraser University visited the Love lab this past week to talk research and to give a departmental seminar in Biology. Tony studies Evolutionary and Ecological Physiology, with a particular focus on the mechanisms underlying life-history trade-offs and decisions. Tony was Oliver’s PhD supervisor at SFU and he has been an ongoing collaborator on a number of our projects since then, so it has been great hosting him in our lab. The Love and Semeniuk labs in particular had some great meetings with Tony to talk about the role of physiological mechanisms in shaping organismal function, the importance of flexibility in these traits and just what it’s all like mixing field and lab biology. Thanks for a great visit Tony.
