Career Change Announcement (a thread):
For those who do not know, I made the decision to leave academia and start a new position with the Federal Government at the Bureau of Reclamation.

@SJC_fishy This is why left academia. I know a group that published multiple times. It was the same study but different species (could have included the species in the other paper). Inflated the graduate student’s resume. That is the direction I saw academia going in sadly.

I am excited for this new opportunity to do more management work with real world application. My new life starts in Denver, Colorado and I could not be more excited!

I thank my advisors over the years for giving me the skills that I need to succeed. My decision to leave academia is no reflection on you, but a reflection of the overall direction academia seems to be taking.

Our @FIUEnvironment researchers including Dr. Nathan Dorn are sounding the alarm about a new threat to the Florida #Everglades -- the Asian swamp eel. Find out more from @ariodzernbc6 and @nbc6

Our manuscript titled "A Case Study of Sequential Colonization: Intra- and Interspecific Patterns of Recovery in a Hydrologically Pulsed Ecosystem" is officially in review! Fingers crossed. #fishsci #Everglades #ecology

We just submitted our manuscript titled "A Case Study of Sequential Colonization: Intra- and Interspecific Patterns of Recovery in a Hydrologically Pulsed Ecosystem" to Environmental Biology of Fishes for peer review. Fingers crossed. #fishsci #Everglades #ecology

I fill my Fridays with Bluegrass music. In places, the Mississippi River is filled with Blue Suckers. This big-river fish swims long distances for spawning habitat, putting it at risk of population declines from constructed barriers that block its migrations. #FishyFriday 💙🍭🐟

If you are a job seeker, please report the Fisheries and Aquatic Science Opportunities @HDR_Inc as spam on @LinkedIn. Help spread the word that these are NOT jobs

[Dr. John Vincent Gatto @Aquatic_Recruit]

Hey HDR @HDR_Inc …remove your Fisheries and Aquatic Science Opportunities from @LinkedIn. If you search “fisheries” that is all that shows up. These are not jobs. But a call for interest. Not the same. As a job seeker this makes it difficult to find a job.

[Dr. John Vincent Gatto @Aquatic_Recruit]

I did not get a job that I interviewed for. The person who interviewed me called to let me know. I asked what I can improve on and he gave me great advice. Always ask!
