Beneath The Lab Coat Ep. 009: Audrey Limoges
Dr. Audrey Limoges is Assistant Professor at the department of Earth Sciences at UNB Fredericton. She is specialized in the use of microfossils and other biogenic tracers preserved in marine sediments as tools for paleo-environmental reconstructions. Her work focuses on the interplay between climate, sea ice, ocean circulation and primary production. Through the study of the long-term response (centennial to millennial) of ecosystems to the natural variability of environmental parameters, her work aims to better predict the impact of ongoing climate and human-induced changes on marine ecosystems.

The Lunchbox Interview: Alex Rioux (Fruit Machine)
It takes a real artist to take the ugliness of the world and turn it into beautiful art, art that might still be ugly but has meaning.
My guest today is Alex Rioux, director and co-creator of Fruit Machine, a movement-based theatre piece looking at the attitudes, turmoil and impact of the RCMP’s questionable practices that targeted the LGBTQ+ community during the 50’s and 60’s. Alex joined me to talk about what inspired him to create this piece, the process of creating physical theatre, and the impact the material had on him.
Fruit Machine, along with another Solo Chicken Productions production, PIG, will be shown on November 1 at 7:30pm at the Open Space Theatre, 55 Whiting Road.
