Congratulations to ABEL lab scientist Dr. Kandace Griffin on the successful defense of her dissertation!

Thanks to all who helped restore this important work. Our #GreatLakes fishery is vital to our economic wellbeing and quality of life. @NWFGreatLakes @LampreyControl Sea lamprey control program receives OK to rehire federal workers after initial scare michiganpublic.org/environment-cl…

Congrats to the Electro Eels for making it to the lego league world championships! This bright group of students combined existing knowledge & interviews w/sea lamprey researchers to develop a tool which would use the scent of lake trout to lure sea lamprey to containment tanks.

Every year, thousands of invasive sea lampreys migrate up the rivers around the North American Great Lakes. Recently, Griffin & co discovered that, unlike other fish, sea lampreys stick to the deepest part of the river to stay safe and use less energy journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

@NBFurey I've been losing that argument with my department for years ...

You do not see jobs in fish movement ecology very often...
