We conditioned these handy recirculating mesocosms (at #NotreDame) under a range of temperatures. Then we added #eDNA from from two fish species and and took H2O samples over time to measure removal rates for different eDNA sizes. SO to @abagaelpruitt.bsky.social letting me use her experiment setup!

New paper out today!! We know warming speeds up eDNA removal in lakes and ponds, but what about streams and rivers where physical removal may obscure the impact of decay? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Great event coming up this evening!!

Congratulations to Dr. Amy Burgin (@burginam.bsky.social), our 2025 Leadership Award recipient! Dr. Burgin received this Career Award for her extraordinary work in furthering SFS' mission. freshwater-science.org/2025-leaders... We look forward to celebrating with you at #2025SFS!

I passed! I’m so grateful for all the support :) Dr. Pruitt sounds pretty cool!

I’m defending next Thursday (March 27, 9am ET)! If you want the zoom link, let me know!

She first got involved with SFS as an undergraduate at The University of Kansas when she attended SFS 2019 in Salt Lake City. Her favorite part of her program is being able to travel for conferences and research. Here is a photo of her two cats, Dr. Meowstus and William’s Original Chili Seasoning.

Our Board of Directors representative is @abagaelpruitt.bsky.social, a 5th year Ph.D. candidate at The University of Notre Dame. Her research focuses on quantifying the impact of changes in organic matter and nutrient inputs on stream ecosystem function using experimental and monitoring approaches.

The endowment award applications are open for 2025!! There are endowment awards available for both undergraduate and graduate students! There are named awards and general endowment awards. The application criteria are described on the website: freshwater-science.org/awards-progr...
