The Chen Lab was proud to participate in the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) Annual Science Conference, hosted this year in Klaipėda, Lithuania. Representing the lab were Molly, Stephanie, Katrina, Abigail, and Sarah, who shared their ongoing research and connected with scientists from across the international marine science community!

This prestigious award honors non-federal employees who provide integral services to the NEFSC, demonstrating exceptional dedication, excellence in job performance, and significant contributions to the Center’s mission. Cheng was recognized for his leadership in developing an advanced management strategy evaluation (MSE) tool and advancing stock assessment methods, both of which have been applied across NEFSC, NMFS, and internationally, providing valuable insights for fisheries assessment and management.
We look forward to Dr. Ober’s continued contributions as a postdoctoral research associate with the Chen Lab. This Fall, she’ll also be sharing her expertise as the instructor for MAR 107: Marine Organisms in Changing Oceans. We’re excited to have her stay on and help inspire the next generation of marine scientists!

The Hudson River and Long Island Sound are lifelines for Long Island communities, offering vital ecological, economic, and recreational benefits. To celebrate these waterways and their significance, Chen Lab members – AJ, Anh, Stephanie, Xiangyan, and Yunzhou – hosted an engaging outreach event at the Long Island Aquarium.
Visitors of all ages had the opportunity to learn about local fish and crustaceans through interactive demonstrations and hands-on experience, fostering a deeper appreciation for the incredible biodiversity in local ecosystems.
