Recently, some lab members have been traveling and working with our Indigenous community partners! Last month, Jacklyn went to the Inuit community Kugluktuk in Nunavut to help implement the Kitikmeot Biting Insect Monitoring Program (K-BIMP) with Dani Nowosad. This program uses innovative scientific communication tools like 3D printed insects to show the differences between biting insects. While Joey was hosted by the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, in Neyaashiinigmiing, to visit and learn about their Coastal Waters Monitoring Program. This is in effort to increase the use of Indigenous knowledge in work with the Great Lakes Fisheries Commission.
About the Lab
In the Bernhardt Lab, we study how temperature shapes metabolism from a single organism to entire ecosystems, to understand the rules that govern growth, survival, and resilience in a warming world.
Our mission is to connect microscopic processes to global patterns so we can better predict how climate change transforms nature and the human communities that depend on it.
