Species spotlight for National Invasive Species Awareness Week. Invasive faucet snails are a growing concern in the Champlain Basin and Great Lakes region and can outcompete native snails, clog drain and intake pipes, and spread parasites to birds. 🌍🧪 #NISAW #InvasiveSpecies #Wildlife #Ecology

Favorite photos of rusty crayfish (Faxonius rusticus) for National Invasive Species Awareness Week. While extremely disruptive and damaging to ecosystems when introduced, they are also fascinating, and I never cease to be amazed by the color variation. 🌍🧪 #NISAW #wildlife #invasivespecies #vermont

Invasive Species Spotlight! When introduced to a new place, Banded Mystery Snails (Callinina georgiana) can cause damage by: ❌outcompeting native snails ❌eating fish eggs ❌spreading parasites to birds ❌overgrazing vegetation #nisaw #ecology #aquaticinvasives #invasivespecies #scicomm

It's National Invasive Species Awareness Week and we're going to keep that interest going through next week and beyond with a free webinar, "Aquatic Invasives of the Winooski Watershed." Register here: zoom.us/meeting/regi... #nisaw #invasivespecies #winooskiwatershed #lakechamplainbasin

Does anyone have leads on where to find 1.2 micron self-preserving filter packs for eDNA collection from Smith-Root? store.smith-root.com/products/edn... Currently on backorder and hoping to track some down. Any ideas? Happy field season! #edna #dnasampling #ecology #biology #science #dnatest

Beautiful and informative work from @lifesciencestudios.bsky.social perfectly timed for National Invasive Species Awareness Week. 🌏🧪 #NISAW #scicomm #sciart

It's National Invasive Species Awareness Week! #NISAW Even though the GLANSIS database is for the Great Lakes Basin, it has been a useful reference for my work further east in the Lake Champlain Basin in thinking about aquatic invasive species distribution and risk factors. #AIS #vermont 🌍🧪

The "Shrinking Opportunities" section of this article describes what was my first hint at the later slew of executive orders. Let's work together to continue to maintain integrity in science, STEM education, and science communication. www.addisonindependent.com/2025/02/13/m... #scicomm 🌏🧪 #science

Your freshwater moment of the day. #freshwater #river #vermont #nature #naturepic

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🔬 On 11 February, we celebrate the important contributions of women to the STEM disciplines. On this occasion, we asked six female scientists what science means to them: home.cern/news/news/cern/international-day-women-and-girls-science-2025

Wouldn't have thought my first post as a freshwater ecologist would be about a land mammal, but this coyote neighbor stopped by, and I thought it might brighten your day. A beaver-created wetland made this possible. 🦫🐾 #freshwaterecology #coyote #beaver #gamecamera #wetlands
