Saturday, November 14th, 1:00 PM - Nora Hickey, Aquatic Veterinarian
SPU, Otto Miller 109 (back to our normal room!)
Dr. Nora Hickey is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences and the Aquatic Health Section Head at the Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory. Her work centers around education and outreach for aquaculture stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest. Prior to her three years working at WADDL as the Aquatic Health laboratory manager, Nora worked for six years at Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission providing veterinary services to tribal fish hatcheries in western Washington. Nora received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
But beating in the heart of every scientist is a hobbyist and Nora loves all aquatic species. She is a particular lover of Hoplisoma (see October's topic!) and they’ll be our Fish Of The Month in her honor. She will speak about selection, quarantine and common fish diseases.
After the presentation, stay for our Monthly Auction after (sellers, pre-register your stuff here).
