Specifically, she looks at how many fish make it to spawning grounds each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUltimately, I want to build bridges between Indigenous knowledge systems and the scientific approach to understanding the interaction between fish and the water and people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, Reid will be joining the University of British Columbia as an assistant professor at the Institute of the Oceans and Fisheries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrea Reid, a PhD candidate at Carleton University who is taking a scientific and Indigenous knowledge approach to studying Pacific salmon, has been awarded a Philanthropic Educational Organization (PEO) Scholar Award.
