If you conduct mesocosm-based research, consider submitting an abstract to our session SS082 “Mesocosm-based approaches for tackling grand challenges in aquatic ecosystems” at the upcoming #ASLOSIL26 Joint Meeting in Montreal! Contributions from students and other ECRs are especially encouraged. 🌊

We are a member of FreshwaterH2O of @cu-esiil.bsky.social. We made the projects forward through team building, working together, and many discussions. We sometimes create dataset, analyze data, discuss the results, go hiking, and grab chocolate. This week was so productive!

There are a few days left to register for the 2025 GLEON Virtual All-Hands’ Meeting! Join us for exciting plenaries, working groups, workshops, a student poster session, and more! See gleon.org/event/gleon-... for more information 🌊🌏 @gleonetwork.bsky.social

@raviranjan.bsky.social & I are teaching a free online workshop with on experimental design for environmental scientists on the 23rd. We'll focus on using simulations to evaluate how well different experimental designs help achieve your goals. Please sign up & share! forms.gle/MZTxeQs4UpMr...

Calling all #Chaoborus people! Can anyone help me confirm that this is Chaoborus flavicans? Samples collected from ponds in France. I have more photos as well if that would help!

A discarded toy on a Lake Champlain beach may take a different form one day: millions of microplastic bits, says @uvmvermont.bsky.social prof. @annejefferson.bsky.social. Learn about what Jefferson and colleagues are finding as they scour Lake Champlain for microplastic sources: go.uvm.edu/xen2p

Information provided by GLOS supports the regional marine economy, improves forecasts, and supports decision-making and nearshore safety for countless stakeholders. Cutting or reducing funding would have wide-ranging impacts on Great Lakes communities’ economies and safety.

Today is the big day! Happy #EarthDay from NOAA! Check out noaa.gov/Earthday, & visit noaa.gov any time for the latest Earth science news, scientific research discoveries & ways you can get involved to help our home planet.

I brought two reporters from the local paper along on a buoy deployment cruise last week. Here's a piece from this weekend in our local paper about the impact of federal funding cuts on Great Lakes science and safety: www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/local/p...

Some rotifers that I photographed from our mesocosm samples made it on the cover of the Hydrobiologia special issue (Zooplankton under Multiple Stressors) that our article is contained in! ✨ Check out the special issue here: link.springer.com/journal/1075...

Amazing turnout for yesterday’s Stand Up for Science march in Burlington, Vermont! 💙🔬🧪 #standupforscience #sciencesaveslives

#Standupforscience Burlington Vermont! 280 people turned out for round 1 with more to come!

We have finalized last-minute plans for a Stand Up for Science march in Burlington, Vermont: please help spread the word!! #StandUpForScience2025

"What has NOAA ever done for me in #GreatLakes?" NOAA employees in the region help communities become better prepared for challenges like severe weather, coastal erosion, harmful algal blooms, and invasive species www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n6y...

As usual the #GLEON all-hands meeting never disappoints! Such a great week discussing #science and having fun in a stunning location! Leaving the hearth at Lake Toba! @gleonetwork.bsky.social

Best day ever!!! Ran into @sanders.senate.gov in the airport security line in Burlington. Thank you for all the work you do, Bernie! 😊😊

Beautiful view of Lake Champlain, Burlington, and snowy Mount Mansfield from my airplane window yesterday! ❄️🤍

New paper with our GLEON collegues, @gleonetwork.bsky.social led by @isabellaoleksy.bsky.social Controls on Lake Pelagic Primary Productivity: Formalizing the Nutrient‐Color Paradigm 😀💚💦🌍

My first first-author paper is officially published! 🎉🎉 This was a team effort and could not have been possible without my wonderful coauthors! The article can be accessed at this link: rdcu.be/d20BA and it will be part of Hydrobiologia's upcoming Special Issue "Zooplankton Under Multiple Stressors"

Received the cutest crocheted copepod at our lab’s white elephant gift exchange! Hand-made by one of our talented technicians. Isn’t it so cute 🥹

Do any freshwater plankton people out there know what this is? Sent to me by the New Hampshire DES, turning up this year for the first time in their 80 um net tows.

Hello bluesky world! 🦋 Finally making the jump from twitter (should have done this a while ago). I’m a PhD student at the University of Vermont, USA studying freshwater zooplankton ecology and behavior, specifically drivers and ecosystem impacts of zooplankton diel vertical migration (DVM) behavior.
