Étudiante au doctorat, Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC) Je suis étudiante au doctorat et mes recherches portent sur les habitudes migratoires du flétan de l'Atlantique dans le golfe du Saint-Laurent. Mon approche consiste à utiliser les éléments chimiques présents dans leurs os d'oreille comme marqueurs de suivi, ce qui me permet de reconstituer l'histoire de la vie des flétans, y compris leurs mouvements et leur croissance. En plus de mes recherches, je participe à divers programmes de sensibilisation visant à éduquer et à informer le public sur divers projets et sujets scientifiques. J'ai une passion particulière pour l'utilisation de l'art comme moyen de communication de mes intérêts scientifiques, en captant l'attention des gens et en rendant des concepts complexes plus accessibles et plus engageants.
