Claim: Kyle Biggar's doctoral research was on the biochemistry of physiological stress response; his thesis advisor at Carleton University (a university named for the now-dissolved Carteton County) was well-known Canadian biochemist Kenneth B. Storey.
Evidence: His doctoral research focused on the biochemistry of physiological stress response. The well-known Canadian biochemist Kenneth B. Storey was his thesis advisor during his graduate studies at Carleton University. Storey has a world-wide reputation for his research on biochemical adaptation - the molecular mechanisms that allow animals to adapt to and endure severe environmental stresses such as deep cold, oxygen deprivation, and desiccation. Kenneth B. Storey FRSC (born October 23, 1949) is a Canadian scientist whose work draws from a variety of fields including biochemistry and molecular biology. The university is named for the now-dissolved Carleton County, which included the city of Ottawa at the time the university was founded.
