A student at Memorial University was a big winner at the recent Illuminate entrepreneurial training program last week.
Jessika Lamarre, a PhD student who aims to protect wild fish by producing food made from insects, took home multiple awards at the inaugural pitch competition for women and gender-diverse students.
Her outfit Invertable won the Diamond Award for the overall winner, as well as the Leadership Award, Social Impact Award and Community Choice Award.
Jessika explained that aquaculture could be a good solution to move away from harming wild stocks, but that’s only if we stop using wild stocks as a source of food for our farmed fish.
