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 ❤️

New study led by @ellie-mackay.bsky.social shows how organic nutrient fractions can stimulate the growth of algae in rivers, and explores the predictability of this effect across the UK. share.google/qKtTDE0BMOF1... 🧪🦠🏞

I don't think I should go another day having coffee and puppy chow for breakfast, and wine and cheese for lunch...

It's that time of year again... time for #DisabledInSTEM 2026 Mentorship applications! I'm so excited to be running this program for the sixth year and seeing the growth over the years! Mentee form: forms.gle/um5DvYnBi3tn... Mentor form: forms.gle/BvaxnQm8uhUR... Applications due December 5th!

Tuttle Creek Lake gifted me an eerie Halloween Eve morning 🎃I'll just be over here clinging to these spooky vibes the rest of the year.

This year has been in slow motion, except October, my favorite month ever, which was only 2 days long....make it make sense 😭

Last week in #limnology I realized I could mirror what I was seeing on the fancy scope onto the tv screens in our new teaching lab. This brought me so much joy🤩 This is #micrasterias The bilateral symmetry and the clear separation (isthmus) between the semi-cells is a characteristic of #desmids

Being a good scientist and a good advisor are completely independent! Academia needs to REQUIRE mentorship training for faculty. Well-supported students and faculty are more likely to produce high quality science and have higher productivity. We need to do better and I'll happily die on this hill.

Pulling buoys and sampling water on Kickapoo Reservation today. Absolutely beautiful, fall day in the field!

Picked some apples and pumpkins this weekend, all while sweating buckets, but we still enjoyed our time! 🎃🖤

We love sediment!! Took 11 weighted hand cores in 15-20 mph winds 😳 to compare sediment characteristics before and after reservoir restoration.

June 11 -27, 2026, I'm teaching a 16-day field course on stream ecology. It's heavily focused on independent research projects, so they get some exposure to field research. Open to students from any institution. DM with your email if you want a poster to send your students. #Ecology #PUI #insects

New paper on winter limnology of Lake Ontario now out- “Unique thermal mixing patterns in Lake Ontario revealed by novel year-round observations of thermal stratification” Open access link at aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Isn’t this a fantastic pumpkin? It looks like it is covered with chemical structures!

The perfect mental reset = morning hikes + afternoon coffee and writing surrounded by vibrant Aspens and crisp air. I also completed my third 14er in 7.5 hrs, Mt. Shavano @ 14,230 ft. My love for the Rockies run deep 🖤

I always have this book within reach when writing! You wouldn't think reading about writing would keep your attention, but this guide is beyond helpful and very clearly simplifies scientific writing. 10/10 recommend!

She's perfect and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise 🥹

Holy mussels!! Grubbing at an oil spill site and surveying buckets of mapleleaf mussels!

This is great to keep in mind! I also try to remember the objectives of the project and if my comments/edits are aligned with those or just me adding my personal preferences.

New preprint out from the lab, including @rroyaute.bsky.social: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... In this we test what we refer to as the "standard model" of behavioral variation. This was inspired by recent work identifying intra-genotypic variation as a major contributor to "individuality". 1/
