I am recruiting graduate students to start in fall 2027! Several potential projects, generally focused on analyzing and forecasting changes in aquatic carbon cycling. #ASLOSIL26 I am around all week—please reach out if you would like to find a time to chat! abbylewis.github.io/join_the_lab...

My traveling nerves have kicked in, but I'm still very excited to attend #ASLOSIL26! Nothing like a week filled with new connections, great people, and great science to rejuvenate you 🙂

As I said, I know it's neither #FungiFriday nor #MushroomMonday, but these are definitely SexyStipeSunday (or something similar). Less sure of IDs for these stunning #fungi from Mount Dial in #Tasmania. IDs in ALT, but corrections welcome! #fungus #mushroom #mycology #nature #Australia #FungiFriends

Toxic chemicals gonna get ya.... 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Happy May!! What else starts with "m" -- MUD! We are taking name suggestions for our new sediment mascot.

The United States now has the most government restrictions on academic freedom of any high-income country. www.chemistryworld.com/news/academi... Raw data from @vdeminstitute.bsky.social —> academic-freedom-index.net/research/Aca...

On Friday, the Trump administration fired the National Science Board, a move that continues it's politicization at NSF and risks further interference at the nation's premier scientific research agency. My thoughts in a new post: blog.ucs.org/gretchen-gol...

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 for wundergrad Emily!! She presented twice in two weeks on her first poster with her very own R-created figures!

Working with age-depth models to date reservoir sediments is making my head spin. Our reservoirs are polymictic and pretty young, and we are working with Pu activity, so every model has major caveats.

What is your Biology or EEB departments minimum PhD stipend? Update it here: mlgaynor.com/BiologyPhDSt...

These incredible Buff Tip Moths blend in so well with branches that you might mistake them for sticks. Nature's masters of disguise are truly fascinating!

A perfect day on Cross Reservoir teaching limnology and playing with all of our lake toys!!

📣 #ASLO_LO invites submission of studies with broad implications for all fields of #oceanography and #limnology for Special Collection “Greenhouse Gas Dynamics in Aquatic Ecosystems: Mechanisms, Impacts, and Future Directions”. 🔗 Learn more: www.aslo.org/lo-special-c... #aquaticsciences

I have never had a green thumb. So let me tell you, I am ready to defend these little sprouts with my life! We have sugar pumpkins, carrots, and lettuce in the works 😊

More ethanol. More corn. More fertilizer. More nitrate in your water. Policymakers keep pushing for more, more, more, but don't have the courage to make ag actually address its vast pollution problem. So they'll ask for more of your money to fund failed voluntary conservation.

Ending March with a manuscript submission feels pretty good!!

Looking for MSc student(s) to be involved in some really cool germ-free experiments with house sparrows at @niooknaw.bsky.social @animalecol-nioo.bsky.social ! 🐣🦠Get in touch if you're interested and please share :) nioo.knaw.nl/en/vacancies...

Over eight million Americans took to the streets today, which makes No Kings 3 the biggest single day of protest in the history of our country. #NoKings

Walz: Our weather may be a little cool, but our people are warm and we're fierce. Don't ever mistake our kindness for weakness. We demand justice for Renee Good and Alex Pretti. We demand justice for every single person who was hurt or traumatized. We will never forget what they did

We love buoys!!

🚨 I am pleased to share that our book Microplastics and Nanoplastics in the Environment has now been published by the Royal Society of Chemistry. books.rsc.org/books/edited... #Microplastics #Nanoplastics #Environment #PlasticsTreaty

Academia is an environment of people w. unstable social skills in a context that doesn't really value being nice. It revolves around us making an internal (or even external) hierarchy of people whose work is better than others'. Breathe. It's not YOU, it's THEM & the circumstances we live & work in.

I am still actively looking for postdoc positions — please lmk if you (or your friends and colleagues) need a hardworking postdoc with field, lab, and bioinformatic skills! I am broadly interested in evolution in the ocean, conservation and population genetics, and rapid evolution.

So fun to hear my #limnology colleagues talking about changing lake ice conditions and impacts on our winter well-being. 🧪 Northern communities are losing lake ice as winter get warmer — and weirder www.npr.org/2026/03/05/n...

HEY‼️ Come work with my team this summer! We're hiring 2 crew leads and at least 4 crew members to work on ecological research projects across OR, WA, and CA. Postings below 👇

Kicked off field season in 20-something °F weather 🥶 Worth it.....for the sunshine and inverts!! (sorry no buggy pics, my hands were frozen)

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

We are excited to officially share GHG-Depths, a database of depth-resolved CO2 and CH4 concentrations in 522 lakes, ponds, and reservoirs worldwide. Congrats to Joe Rabaey and a huge team of collaborators! @gleonetwork.bsky.social

I've been actively trying to mentally slow down, not work ALL the time, & keep a healthy distance from my laptop on the weekends. Not going to lie...it's hard for me. Anyway, it's upped my embroidery game, so here are some of my new pieces.

The USDA postdoc fellowship is back! If you're interested in studying eutrophication issues in working lands, let's write a proposal together. Check my lab webpage for how to get in touch (ecostoich.weebly.com/join.html).

I'm looking for postdoc positions in freshwater biogeochemistry! Interested in any projects investigating nutrient and carbon cycling, phytoplankton coupling with dissolved organic matter cycling in human-altered landscapes, or hydrology and spatial modeling!

It's official - my new book is officially published today! If you mentor science students who write - grad or undergrad - you're the reason we wrote this. Mentoring/teaching writing is hard; but we can make it easier!

Due to some unfortunate professional hurdles, self reflection hit an all time high in 2025 and here are some of my thoughts: ✳️Experience level does not equate to self worth. Different backgrounds, training, resources, etc. come with different opportunities and that doesn't make anyone superior.

Happy Yule to me and co-authors Marinus Otte and @jonsweetman.bsky.social!! Final PhD chapter out in @restorationecology.bsky.social Read about microbial communities in restored and natural wetlands in ND this holiday season 😊 doi.org/10.1111/rec....

This was a fun little experiment to wrap up before the holidays! We used sediment cores to measure internal nutrient loading under oxic and anoxic conditions. Sooooo much troubleshooting went into this, so let me know if you need tips or tricks for sediment incubations.

Everywhere I turn, AI is in my face. We don't need to speed up the scientific process, including publishing. I'm worried this is a slippery slope that will remove comprehension and creativity. I understand it can be responsibly used as a tool, but I'm still having a difficult time with it.

Field work through the seasons ☀️🍂❄️ We recently wrapped up field season with a brisk day of sediment coring. I'm looking forward to catching up on rest and writing these next couple of months!

Let's be real. Chara knows everything is about her. Happy holiday season from my sweet bean ❤️
