Dr. Larry Hammell appointed to independent expert panel on aquaculture science

Dr. Larry Hammell, Associate Dean (Grad Studies & Research) at the Atlantic Veterinary College and interim dean of UPEI’s Faculty of Graduate Studies, has been appointed to an independent expert panel on aquaculture science, led by Dr. Mona Nemer, Canada’s Chief Science Advisor.

Dr. Nemer was asked in February 2018 by the federal government to lead the panel, which will make recommendations on the appropriate use and consideration of scientific evidence in decision-making about aquaculture. The members will also provide advice on the communication of the science, and associated decisions, to Canadians.
