The 17th PRIMO meeting was recently held in Faro, Portugal and Mike Galus and Joanna Wilson attended and gave presentations.  PRIMO, or Pollutant Responses in Marine Organisms, is a biannual meeting that is one of my favourites.  The science is always exciting and it is a wonderful, smaller meeting.  Mike Galus presented his most recent research on the effects of parental exposure of zebrafish to gemfibrozil and carbamazepine to the reproductive success of their offspring.  His research results were very well received and he received one of ten student awards to help cover his costs for travel.  Mike’s award was sponsored by ICES, a global organization for ocean sustainability.  Joanna presented research being performed by Derek Alsop on the function of zebrafish CYP enzymes and the use of high throughput screening to assess CYP function.  The next PRIMO meeting will be held in 2015 in Trondheim, Norway.  I can’t wait.
