On Thursday I defended my PhD dissertation and I’m officially Dr. Tissot 🥹💪🏼
Allie is standing in front of a PowerPoint that says “Pesticides as Multiple Stressors to Bivalves and Echinoderms” looking very proud. She’s wearing a floral button up shirt and black pants and a shell lei. A group of people are standing with Allie in a conference room, all smiling. One of them is holding up a laptop with a person on Zoom also smiling.
