Research Story: Laurenne Schiller

So-FISH-ticated Research

As a child, Laurenne Schiller thought the ocean was full of mystery and, by age four, had already decided to study fish and whales when she grew up. As a PhD student at Dalhousie University in Halifax, her research focused on understanding and evaluating the role of different stakeholders in tuna fisheries governance. Now, Schiller has won the opportunity of a lifetime, a Liber Ero Fellowship, to study as a postdoctoral fellow at Carleton. This highly competitive fellowship supports early career scientists to conduct world-class research that informs conservation and management issues that are relevant to Canada.
