This week Alanna interviews PhD candidate Ali Frey. Ali obtained her Bachelor's degree at the University of Rhode Island where she researched little skates and ichthyoplankton before working at the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service Northeast Fisheries Science Center. The two discuss Ali's current research into southern New England Atlantic Cod at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth School for Marine Science and Technology and how she leverages methods like acoustic telemetry to study data-limited stocks within the population.   Main point: "Don't overlook teamwork and collaboration"   Find Ali by email at afrey2@umassd.edu and LinkedIn at Alison Frey.   Get in touch with us!
