Currently arguing with my three year old about whether or not her classmate has a mustache. How’s your Friday going?

New faculty position in the University of Illinois Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences for an assistant or associate professor of agroecology: illinois.csod.com/ux/ats/caree.... Position closes October 31st. Happy to answer questions about the dept / university / town.

He started the same year as Charlie Weis!!!

Return flight: Brisbane -> Orlando with an 18 month old and a 5 year old, ending with our luggage being stuck in the conveyor belt for 3h and the rental car company (that we use for the final 2h drive home) not having a vehicle large enough for all of our bags despite our reservation…

UF just posted a call for applicants to our Ewel Postdoctoral Fellowship: postdoc.aa.ufl.edu/current-post.... The fellowship focuses on tropical/sub-tropical ecology and env. science. Great opportunity to join our ecological community at UF. I’d love to chat with folks that may be interested.

They’re ok ☺️

Frog and Toad went for a walk. Toad did not trip over a rock. He did not bump into a tree. He did not fall in a hole. It turned out to be a very pleasant day after Toad's birthday.

New Mountain Goats?

We've got 35 sets of these posters left. This project came from my evergreen frustration with our important messages getting trapped on social media algorithms. Good stuff for posting on your local community bulletin board, classroom, office door, etc! squidfacts.bigcartel.com/product/scie...

Worlds colliding. @jasonkirk.fyi, @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social and @themountaingoats.bsky.social oh my

I have a regular order here now. Congrats Dr. Harris!!!! Way to go Casey!

I’m sure this will come across as “old man yells at clouds” but a lot of really smart people that I greatly admire are relying on AI for entirely too much. It can be a great tool, but I feel like we are missing out on a lot of innovative ideas in the pursuit of efficiency and productivity.

Dinner time conversation: Kid1: what’s your favorite animal? Me: moose Lindsey: cuttlefish Kid1: bats Kid2: horses Me: dear god no

This would be a great opportunity for a post grad or someone who finished their MS and wants to stick around in research. A lot of opportunities to develop independent research while also helping out others in the lab. Gainesville’s a great college town to live in, too!

Do you like playing in the mud or floating a river? Do you want to help us learn about how human actions affect water quality? Then you should join the UF Urban Ecosystem Ecology Lab! We are looking for a full time biological scientist to join our team. explore.jobs.ufl.edu/en-us/job/53.... #jobs

🫵 Are you the next Society for Freshwater Science Communications & Media Specialist? 💡Assume primary responsibility for managing internal Society-wide and external public communications through the Society’s media channels 💻Remote position, 8-10 hours per week on a regular schedule (1/4)

…and so it begins. We’ll be sampling treatment wetlands and natural wetlands to answer questions related to how chronic vs acute exposure to wastewater affects microbial and biochemical dynamics, how nutrient limitation differs across wetlands, and when is treatment wetland water really treated?

📣SFS members in the last year of your terminal degree or within 5 years graduation ⭐Apply for the 2025 cohort of the Headwaters Leadership Academy by Monday, June 30th 🎯 Join a pipeline for Society leadership through mentorship, networking, service, and professional development opportunities

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

Ummm…wut?

Love that this is how I found out about who’s leading my university. Truly

I’m shocked!

Congratulations to our newly-elected officers: President-Elect Mark Gessner, Secretary AJ Reisinger (@ajreisinger.bsky.social), International Representative Elizabeth Wanderi, and Non-Academic Representative Zanethia Barnett. We are grateful for your service to our society!

Registration for SFS San Juan is open for business on the third floor of the Puerto Rico Convention Center!

Scrolling through the #2025SFS program grid on my iPad (old school meets slightly less old school?) and stoked for the annual family reunion. Thinking of those that can’t make it this year, we’ll see you next time!

Sending a second order to the printer for these 😎 Keep 'em coming. These are going all over the USA right now. This is exactly what I hoped would happen. Hell yeah.

Yessss!!! I see me!

🚨 Cool new project alert 🚨 WE- you, me, everyone- need to work together to get important science messages out to people. 4 artists & 3 scientists collab'd on these posters. We hope YOU will put them out in your community. Each poster comes w/info about each topic. Get 'em Squidfacts.bigcartel.com

Dad of two young girls here and I was already a feminist but still shocked by how much the boys are coddled and how the girls are expected to accommodate their behavior even in grade school

FYI: The Spencer Foundation, Kapor Foundation, The William T. Grant Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation have collaborated to offer $25K rapid response grants. "This rapid response bridge funding opportunity is for scholars and teams whose grants have recently been cancelled by NSF."

Definitely a Waxahatchee afternoon

Welcome Florida LAKEWATCH (@ufifaslakewatch.bsky.social) to Bluesky! If you know our Cooperative Lakes Monitoring Program, Florida LAKEWATCH is our counterpart! Volunteers in both programs collect critically important data about lakes - and have fun while doing it! lakewatch.ifas.ufl.edu

Congratulations to Olivera on this really nice paper! This paper was possible thanks to the wonderful AQUACOSM project which supported many transnational access days to collaborate with us using our unique mesocosm infrastructure. aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A thank you for making the Charity Bowl happen (and a handy suggestion for what’s to come)

So grateful for the #charitibundibowl. This week has been rough but the EDSBS universe has helped so many people that it helps me forget all of the global and individual shit. Such a great community.

$199 headed for @newap-georgia.bsky.social, with an on-field assist from X Watts and Christian Gray.

Super excited for new(ish) PhD student, Chamoda Dissanayake’s dissertation research centered around the biogeochemistry of treatment wetlands!

Ok, Zillah's right. Gonna have to go and strongly recommend this album today. A 2002 classic.

Trees in the neotropics can be used as spatial and sometimes temporal indicators of mercury concentrations over time. Check out our publication for more information: www.frontiersin.org/journals/env...

There’s more grad students in the country than coal miners.

Hey @nytimes.com, you need to hire a fish biologist!

👀

We have identified four panelists--Mark Gessner, Jennifer Tank, Lauren Kinsman-Costello, and Peter Levi--who span diversity of countries and institutions. We welcome other panelists; if interested, email sallye[at]vt.edu. This is the first of two townhalls. The second will be held at #2025SFS.

SFS will host a townhall on finding research positions and funding opportunities in light of the US federal efforts to gut federal agencies that support science and conservation research, application, and our education programs. 📆 March 27th, 7 PM EST 📍 us02web.zoom.us/j/86271542558

My new PTKU merch goes great w my biogeofeminist sticker!

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

Wondering how to connect with folks with unexpected 13C data from stream consumers (i.e. more depleted than sampled OM sources) that might not be published/findable. Any suggestions on how to make these connections? Or is it you?! 👀
