Woolnough Mussel Lab

@Groupon Trying to get some help with a purchase! No online chat showing up for me sent X, Instagram, and FB messages… put wrong email in for my purchase ugh.

Us clocking in today lol

We have one last “unknown” in our samples—any ideas to help @MusselLab_DW MS student? Someone ought to know what this is.

Mollusk, aquatic, Michigan costumes ready for today?

@polarfire The positive is that there ought to be a good one there??!! (Remind yourself of this the days you get frustrated with the one(s) you choose!).

I have received over 150 applications for graduate student positions in my lab. It's overwhelming and distressing. I'm going to have to reject over 98% of applicants. It feels bad.

Seminar THIS Friday 9am ET. Interesting new data from @MusselLab_DW ! Read announcement-

Meet @MusselLab_DW researcher Marta Springer (St. Peter MN). @Cmich_Biology Con Bio MS. “This summer I presented at @BenthosNews in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was fascinating to learn about all the research being done in freshwater systems. I also took a course at CMUBS”.

@MusselLab_DW researcher Jessie Gibbins (Cincinnati OH) @Cmich_Biology “This summer was such a valuable experience. I enjoyed snorkeling and diving for mussels. We traveled around Michigan to places I had never been! It was great to meet new people with similar interests!”

Meet Masaki Hara (Tokushima, Japan) #cmich Earth and Eco Sci PhD 1st yr.   “In Michigan, many lakes and rivers have clear water. SCUBA and snorkeling surveys are my favorite part of research. Exploring underwater was amazing and felt like a different world”

@MusselLab_DW Kyle Reynolds Tawas City, #Michigan @Cmich_Biology Eco. Evo. & Conservation. 1st field season. “Getting lab experience has taught me so much about the field of biology! I loved snorkeling around various lakes and rivers in Michigan while also learning about nature”

Meet: Autumn Brown from Midland, #Michigan @Cmich_Biology Eco, Evo, & Conservation “This lab has taught me about the variability of field and lab work and engage in different activities each day. My favorite activities were SCUBA, collecting abiotic data, and working outside.”

Meet @MusselLab_DW Emily Petro (Essexville, #michigan). @Cmich_Biology: Eco, Evo, and Conservation (1st summer): “Helping in the lab has bee a great learning experience! I loved spending my summer having fun snorkeling for mussels and learning macroinvertebrate identification.”

@MusselLab_DW Researcher: Aiden Judge from right here in #mtpleasant #Michigan. @Cmich_Biology - Eco, Evo & Conservation. (2 years on team). “I enjoyed learning to SCUBA and traveling to so many fun sites on Lake Michigan. It was nice to meet everyone new! We made a great team!”

Meet @MusselLab_DW Researcher- Madison Dunlap (Martinez, California) @Cmich_Biology MS in Conservation biology MS. “This project has allowed me to experience the world of Freshwater Science! My favorite activity has been getting to identify macroinvertebrates”. #rivers #mollusks
