Big #sturgeon are cool but it’s the little ones that keep me up at night! I can cautiously say that sometime in the last decade there was a successful spawning event, but where and under what flow conditions? #ecology #fishsci #riverscience #conservation #fieldwork #lakesturgeon

Making Things Smoother for “Rough Fish” FINtastic article by John Lyons in Big River Magazine! Great #SciComm regarding the background and ongoing efforts to conserve our native nongame fishes! bit.ly/3OBS7Qj

Let’s go get that data

Does fish-finding sonar impact anglers? Angler catch of Blue Catfish was not influenced by live-imaging sonar in this controlled experiment. However, there was evidence that the use of live-imaging sonar influenced angler perception and behavior @thekdwp bit.ly/3uu6dMH

Success is perseverance and to be persistent like @LinkedIn endlessly messaging about MBA opportunities. #humour #WomenInSTEM #fishsci #biologyhumor

@HofTheHook @donaldorth @USFWSNCTC You mean more like hunkules of a Longnose Dace 😂

Highly recommend taking a course/training at @USFWSNCTC if you ever get the chance. This week was full of cool crayfish and of course, I (as the fish man) found the time to see some cool fish like this beautiful smallmouth and stud of a Longnose Dace.

I started Riverine Ecosystem Management textbook for my late night reading. What other textbook should I put on the docket that would focus on #ecoflow #modelling #fisheries #remotesensing #dams #fishsci #riverscience #hydroacoustics #habitatavailability #HSI ? @AcademicChatter

The only thing I accept for turning its back on me is my Monstera reaching for the sun 🌿✨ #plant #plantlife #monstera #TeamFish #TeamFresh

The real academic writing test is learning to appropriately balance your use of "moreover", "however", "therefore", "furthermore", "hence", and "thus".

@chupik_teresa My mom caught me on Twitter folks! 😂

@Ecology_Foley Lol

Happy thanksgiving weekend to my fellow Canadians 🇨🇦 #TeamFish #fishsci #fish

This generation will never experience the joy of blooper reels on DVD special features

I am recruiting a PhD student to come work with Paddlefish using telemetry and capture-recapture. Preferred start would be January 2024, but understand the application deadline is near so also open to conversations about Fall 24. See link below for info andreslab.net/post/come-stud…

@JustinTPriest Haha pumping is a great option for getting out and about! Congrats to both of you on your new biologist in training 🤗

@Ecology_Foley Congratulations! My wife and I are both fish biologists and recent parents. Navigating parenthood and biology will be a fun challenge (she's looking forward to pumping in the field!)

I’ve been MIA on Twitter for awhile BUT with the great excuse of the new change in my life, motherhood. ❤️ I had time to reflect on how I didn’t see the challenges of balancing parenthood and research from fellow colleagues. Alas, I’m still growing too. #WomenInSTEM

Awesome opportunity 👀👀

@belostomatid @CPAWSnovascotia The moth/fungi reminds me of The Last of Us 🤯😬

Conducting some nighttime surveys with @CPAWSnovascotia at Archibald Lake this week. Last night we were lucky to find this moth consumed by entomopathogenic fungi (Akanthomyces?) — a cool bucket list item! Also found a red-bellied snake (weird morph?) and Agrypnia sp. caddisfly.

I use to be a cowboy. Now and days I just horse around.

Interested in getting digitized depth data from paper or PDF bathymetric maps? I have just the paper for you! New paper with @KelseyVitense and @gretchen_H20 in #ASLO_Methods @aslo_org aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
