My name is Max Spiess, I am from Upper Tantallon, Nova Scotia. I am going into my 3^rd year at StFX University looking to complete an Honours degree in biology with a minor in Chemistry. I love spending time near or on the ocean, as well as playing sports and training at the gym. This summer I am getting my first experience with research as part of the Wyeth Lab’s Lobster Foraging group. I am very grateful for this opportunity to be involved in research and I am very excited to see how it goes as I love groupwork and I love biology! Getting this research experience is very beneficial to me as it opens up a lot of career opportunities for my future, and it allows me to further my biological knowledge.
