The Rooney Lab is recruiting a PhD or MSc student to work on a manipulative experiment on the fate and effects of microplastics in freshwater lakes at the renowned Experimental Lakes Area (https://www.iisd.org/ela/). The student will measure the dose-response of epipelon community metabolism and community composition to the addition of microplastics in a series of 12 aquatic mesocoms.
Dr. Rooney worked with Dr. David Schindler to co-author this opinion piece in the Edmonton Journal, calling on the government to work with Indigenous partners to meet our conservation targets and protect biodiversity in Canada. Read more here.
