Tonight was certainly one of the highlights of my fieldwork career! Thank you @NOAA_GLERL, @Gr8LakesWetLab@AddisonZeisler and many more for helping to #GetTheFISH! Let’s hope the #Alewife fertilization took and continue developing through the night. (Photo:AZeisler)
I have some amazing students in #Ichthyology this year. Many are seniors looking to continue on to #graduateschool and are looking for PIs taking students. If your lab is looking for new students, especially in the #midwest or #GreatLakes regions please let me know!
Please retweet: The #ENVERG @WaterlooBio
is recruiting a PhD student for an exciting project looking at #algae - #virus dynamics and their #ecology in the #GreatLakes Review of applications will begin in September and the position will remain open until filled.
Harmful algal blooms in the #GreatLakes impair drinking water and threaten public health. Managing them is a complex, regional challenge.
The @GLHABsCollab released a fact sheet w/an overview of agency roles from prevention to response.

It's been a wild summer testing the behavioral responses of larval pumpkinseed sunfish to ultraviolet radiation! Thanks @berry_fishy10 for the awesome experimental design and @LacawacSanct for the space and fish! #UVorNotUV
This week @AddisonZeisler and my @MiamiOH_ResInno#USSS undergrad Isaac has been examining his #fish in search of #parasites. Today’s findings includes some cool parasites that we *think* are trematodes often called “yellow grub”.
Water Safety Awareness Week Tip #2: Be Cautious in Cold Water. Air temps may be warm, but the water temps in the #GreatLakes may not be. Cold temps can cause hypothermia in <1 hour. Wearing a life jacket significantly increases your survival chances. @miseagrant @SeaGrant@NWS
Action shot of Isaac Smith's #USS project!! Yes, he is getting paid to fish...& investigate the external parasites on the fish! Wonder if UV will make them hide like Isaac is hiding under his hat?? @MiamiOH_ResInno
Hope you are enjoying our fish pic updates @berry_fishy10
I keep seeing beautiful photos of everyones lakes to kickoff their field season. I’m feeling a little nostalgic for our PA lakes, so here’s one with my larval fish traps set on the surface of the lake. Good luck @AddisonZeisler with this years larval 🐟 surveys! #GetTheFish
Today is the beginning of Mental Health Awareness Month & a great day to get outdoors! Spending time in nature can brighten your day and boost your mood. To celebrate, we’ve partnered with the @OhioMHAS to bring you a month of mental health tips to help you #thriveoutside.
Attended @rmpilla dissertation defense today. My key take-aways are she is a phenomenal scientist and will do great things in her future. She will be greatly missed by many including myself in the department. Congrats Dr. Pilla. Thanks for being an amazing role model.
Congrats to our undergrad Isaac Smith for being awarded Miami’s Undergraduate Summer Scholarship #MiamiUSS to do fish surveys quantifying the abundance and distribution of external parasites on #sunfish from #lakes of varying #waterclarity & #UV! @MiamiOH_ResInno@AddisonZeisler
