Retinoic acid prevents alteration of neuronal morphology and locomotion of zebrafish embryos induced by ethanol exposure during gastrulation
DownloadFall 2018
Ethanol (EtOH) exposure during development has been shown to lead to deficits in fine and gross motor control. In this study I used zebrafish embryos in the gastrulation stage to determine the developmental effects of a brief, 5-hour exposure to EtOH. I treated fertilized zebrafish eggs from 5.25...

Stories We Live By, With, and In: A Narrative Inquiry into the Experiences of Canadian Muslim Girls and their Mothers
DownloadFall 2017
Drawing upon my experiences as a Canadian Muslim woman, mother, and researcher, I engaged in a two-year multiperspectival narrative inquiry (Houle, 2012; Huber, Clandinin, & Murphy, 2011) alongside three Canadian Muslim girls and their mothers as girl co-inquirers transitioned into adolescence....
