Danelle Haake, PhD

Please watch this amazing short film of the scientists and volunteers I work with to study freshwater #mussels. I can hardly wait for August so I can go #MusselGrubbing again with @IL_RiverWatch - and I'd love for you to join me!! youtu.be/V-308QE6roQ

PSA: "Road closed for flooding" signs are not a joke!! #StLouis #flood #floodrescue #BrentwoodMo #WebsterGroves #turnarounddontdrown additional footage of rescue available to media @kmoxnews @FOX2now @ksdknews

I don't post here much anyway, but I don't expect to be back for awhile. The changes to Twitter (oh, sorry, "the X") are absurd and disturbing. I'm not deactivating in the hopes that there's a turnaround (though autofill thought a tornado would be better).

@RiverChem My phone number was on the PVC housing on my loggers. Got a call from a middle/high school kid that he found one. I went to check it and someone had broken open the housing (couldn't unscrew the cap?) and taken the logger. 😣 Why? Can't sell it or use it!

Today we experienced one of the events that keeps urban stream scientists awake at night. Somebody decided one of our (not even a year old) HOBO loggers was a pinata :( Not sure if we have grant money for a replacement. And to hurt more we were due to download data next week.

The list of well deserved recognition and awards keeps growing! We love this film because it really shows that citizen science and learning new skills is for everyone! @DanelleHaake youtu.be/V-308QE6roQ

@AimlessZealot @oldenoughtosay All else equal, higher salt concentrations should increase the rate of corrosion. There are differences based on temperature, duration of exposure, & the type of salt. My experience is more in the biological consequences of salt, which have many of the same influencing factors!

@AimlessZealot @oldenoughtosay In many cold climates, the metal supports in our transportation infrastructure (roads, bridges) are vulnerable regardless since we use millions of tons of salt for pavement deicing.

@HaakeHogan As long as the under-used boats don't experience the same kind of failure.

Let's have some fun. What is your research topic? Reply with emojis only.

@TMobileHelp Yea, that's where I opted out in January. Didn't seem to work!

@DanelleHaake Hi Danelle, you can opt out of marketing communications from us by filling out the form here: t-mo.cc/0qa5s3war6. If you still have any questions or concerns, kindly send me a DM so I can assist with your account further and fix this. ^TJJones twitter.com/messages/compo…

Hey, @TMobile, why are you spamming my work email?! I never asked to be added to your list. I unsubscribed a couple of weeks ago. I just got 2 emails from you in 10 minutes. STOP! @TMobileHelp @tmobilenews #spam #tmobile #annoyed

The call for proposals is now open for LTAW! We have 3 tracks to choose from, including creating your own film! cuahsi.org/lets-talk-abou… Get inspired by watching Mussel Grubbers-A Citizen Science Treasure Hunt, co-created by LTAW awardee @DanelleHaake youtu.be/V-308QE6roQ

It's incredible seeing the transition from degraded, single-thread streams into expansive beaver-engineered wetlands. And it only took a handful of #beavers to do this. Imagine what the continent and the rivers looked like prior to the Fur Trade, back when beavers were abundant!

Being a scientist, I had to check the math. Turns out it's even worse. You could have made $53,000 (£44,000) a day or $20 million per year since Jesus was born and still not make the profits Shell did in 2022.

@JCACharles @ninjagirlphd @denise_dewald Many of the teens I know are less self centered than the adults. They are building their own supportive community that values equity, acceptance, and caring for those in need.

@ninjagirlphd @denise_dewald My sister’s son said the same thing when he was offered the vaccine at 14; it’s expected for young teens to be so self centered. His doctor said, fine, if you get warts on your penis we’ll just burn them off one by one. He got the vaccine.

For those curious, @UWMadison uses 150-350 tons of salt on it's (25 miles?) of campus roads every year. Double that if you add in sidewalks and parking lots. Total use in 2018/19 was over 900 tons. @UWArboretum uses 0 most years (1.9 tons in 2020/21).

@Fatma_Mufti @AcademicChatter @workingbnb @GradNeuro @Grad_Careers @AcademicDilemma Definitely good to start looking early to see what is out there, but probably don't apply for positions that have a posted start date that's months before your graduation date.

Hey #AcademicTwitter 👋🏼 When is the ideal time to start applying for postdoc positions? Is 1.5 to 1 year in advance considered too early? 🤔 #phdlife #AcademicChatter #postdoc @AcademicChatter @workingbnb @GradNeuro @Grad_Careers @AcademicDilemma

Are electric cars better for the climate than petrol or diesel? Yes, in almost all cases. In my latest Substack, I go through all the numbers: hannahritchie.substack.com/p/ev-fossil-ca…

BREAKING: An immense step forward. Pope Francis calls for the decriminalization of homosexuality worldwide: "Declaring such laws 'unjust,' Francis said the Catholic Church can and should work to put an end to them. 'It must do this. It must do this.'" apnews.com/article/pope-f…

@AlexEpstein @jordanbpeterson "I've never thought of this before..." Yea, it shows. Read something on climate science that's less than 30 years old and maybe you'll get a clue.

“It's kind of obvious, if you have a warmer world with more CO2, it's a more tropical world with more life. It's a more green world in the life sense of green, and yet the green movement hates it because we caused it” With @jordanbpeterson
