In Summer 2025, members of the Rennison Lab at UC San Diego traveled to the breathtaking landscapes of British Columbia, Canada, for a hands-on research expedition. Their goal was to collect threespine stickleback fish for  a collaborative effort focused on establishing new laboratory lines and performing whole-genome resequencing. This fieldwork marks an important step in advancing our understanding of evolutionary genomics, while offering lab members an unforgettable opportunity to conduct research in the field.
