What happens when an energetic postdoc (@zepernickbn.bsky.social) takes a class to a local quarry to learn to limnology? Science!! (and pets are protected). Nice work by Britt, team and colleagues from the Great Lakes Center for Fresh Waters & Human Health. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Water is essential, but 1 in 3 people still lack access to safe drinking water. ASLO recently supported @agu.org and @asm.org in producing a report on how climate change fuels waterborne infections and how science can help. Check it out now: asm.org/reports/wate...

NOAA's #GreatLakes Environmental Research Lab will be taking an "indefinite hiatus" from communications due to staff cuts. GLERL communicates critical weekly updates about the extent of harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie - like the one that left my hometown of Toledo without drinking water in 2014

Dear federal scientists: If you have been affected by the probationary firings and would be willing to speak with Science, please reach out to me by email ([email protected]) or on Signal. We can guarantee annonymity.

Thanks to @theconversation.com for highlighting our work studying harmful algal blooms in the Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria! theconversation.com/lake-victori...

Nice to see this important work make the news cycle when there is a lot of news in the world. Kudos to @laurenhart.bsky.social, @zepernickbn.bsky.social and others. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/... And very nice of Newsweek to pick it up! www.newsweek.com/lake-erie-la...

MIBiG is huge! This was such a great opportunity to work with world-class scientists on updating this repository, in particular @pmdagostino.bsky.social in the cyanobacterial biosynthesis world. Check out the 🧵 below...
