The new #NSF #GRFP application now excludes 1000’s of students, including those who were told they could apply this year, or who planned to apply next year. We have a new specific petition urging #NSFGRFP undo this harmful action. If you are impacted sign here: laurenkuehne.github.io/grfpChanges/

Do you fly in airplanes? Drive on highways? File taxes? Have kids or elderly parents? Go to the doctor? Prefer not to be poisoned by toxic chemicals? Then you rely on the government services that Musk is hobbling. It is tragic that many Americans won’t realize this until those services are killed.

Chorizo breakfast burritos are significantly better than bacon breakfast burritos. Replicate samples were taken. I ran the stats. The results are comprehensive. I need a nap.

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

Absolutely terrible. @lizrenner.bsky.social is an amazing scientist, colleague, and friend. SMFH. The attacks on our science, public lands, and PEOPLE of this country are real. We will ALL be affected. www.keloland.com/keloland-com...

Attention all limnologists! We recently published a paper where we tracked changes in study duration of lakes and reservoirs through time. There are plenty short-duration papers. But long term studies are getting longer! #lakes #ecology #lter @sfs-src.bsky.social @aslo.org rdcu.be/d74UM

Post doc at SLU Aqua - Mapping aquatic resources in a changing climate (based at our Uppsala, Sweden campus). Fluency in English & R programming skills are key requirements. I can highly recommend working with A/Prof Charlotte Berkström & @ulfbergstrom.bsky.social 🦑🧪🌎🐠 www.slu.se/en/about-slu...

Enjoy! I'm certain these aren't fish or benthic inverts. Pretty, nonetheless. Oh, and that's Lake Superior in the background. It's the best lake. It's in the name.

Hi Bluesky, I am happy and optimistic to be here! Anyone know a freshwater fisheries biologist into teaching who might want to come join me in the beautiful Ozark streams of SW Missouri? Please share/repost.

Reposting as the deadline approaches - I'm recruiting a Master's student for fall 2025 to join my lab at Northern Michigan University! Please get in touch if you're interested and share this posting. Applications received by Dec. 20 will receive full consideration.

Aquatic insects emerge from freshwaters as adults. When they do, many disperse laterally into terrestrial environments feeding birds, bats, etc. Healthy streams lead to healthy forests. See our meta-analysis on insect dispersal. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/NWKMIB... #foodwebs #ecology

A climate change extinction model predicts that extinctions will accelerate at a 1.5C increase in mean global temperature. The highest-emission scenario would threaten one-third of species, especially amphibians and species in alpine, island and freshwater ecosystems. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Brown trout were hungry, gorging on allochthonous inputs of cicadas. Diets were collected in mountain streams of the Santa Fe National Forest (New Mexico). Healthy forests, healthy food webs, well fed fishes (including non-native trout) #teamfish #streamecology #foodwebs #ecology
