Putting a Face to a Name |
| Thom Gilbert, Installation Manager |
As Aquaneering’s Installation Manager, Thom Gilbert is a busy guy. In any given day, he collaborates with a wide range of professionals in order to plan aquatic installations. That includes facility managers, contractors, subcontractors, shipping and receiving people, researchers, lab technicians, and veterinarians. And that is just on the customer side! But Thom thinks that dealing with so many different types of people is one of the more interesting parts of his job. It is a big challenge to juggle and manage all the changing factors and requirements for an installation, especially when new construction or renovation is involved.
That is why Thom is so perfect for his job! His background in fisheries science, biology, and construction provides him with a unique skill set. Ask any installation technician on the Aquaneering team – Thom is a talented manager who is ready to assist Aquaneering clients with their installations, start up, and technical assistance needs. Thom can be reached at 858-578-2028 or email: support@aquaneering.com |

| On the Road With Aquaneering |
New York Area Labs Zebrafish Conference |
Researchers, technicians and veterinarians from New York area labs attended an all-day Zebrafish Conference on October 21, 2011 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Originally suggested by Dr. Neil Lipman of MSKCC/WCMC (Weill Cornell Medical Center), the conference was organized by Dr. Christine Lieggi of MSKCC and sponsored by Aquaneering. The concept of the conference was to bring together investigators (who attend research meetings such as the Zebrafish International Meeting in Madison Wisconsin but don’t generally discuss husbandry and fish disease issues) and veterinarians and technicians (who have a network of support in zebrafish husbandry and health but often are not aware of the research being carried out with the fish they care for). Attendance was standing room only until late in the afternoon, as talks were presented on fish diseases, fish nutrition, and research topics including cardiac specification, transcriptional silencing, learning and memory, heart tube morphogenesis, and melanoma studies. The audience included attendees from MSKCC, WCMC, Rockefeller U, Columbia, Rutgers, Albert Einstein, Mt Sinai and Manhattan College. This type of meeting can be very valuable for the community and we look forward to holding similar conferences in other localities in the coming months. |
