On good days I climb banks, river banks, in the lower Flint River. On bad days I think about it a lot. #musselhugger

@NWSTallahassee bouncing rain (0.25" hail) observed briefly on the east side of Bainbridge GA at 4:15 pm

New publication from our long line of reservoir studies in the SE USA @Waters_Paleolim @BenCWebster

@wareslab Probably wondering if there will be universities in 2 years

I haven't been on this app much since it was purchased as a vanity project by a billionaire whacko. But, I found a Hamiota subangulata trying to entice a fish with its superconglutinate. This listed species is determined to make a comeback and that's smile worthy. #musselhugger

In SW GA, gar hang out in dark, murky places under small concrete bridges. @SolomonRDavid I enjoy taking a break from #musselhugging to visit the gar. Is this to avoid light and heat? I always mention that I know you. It makes them happy #happygar

@FloodHydrology Fox paw?

Excited to announce of my dissertation chapters is published in Water Reaserch! Feel free to read about how Average Annual Residence Time impacts Nitrogen Deposition in Reservoirs https://t.co/bDFO0Gsgi3 . Thanks again coauthors @Waters_Paleolim and @Bankclimber

Mussel Monday lasts all week @thejonesctr . The ACF Mussel Workshop convened today for a few days of classroom, lab, and field activities. We'll be studying the mussels of the lower Flint River Basin in GA. #musselhugger #riverlove

@thejonesctr https://t.co/FYxyAy6zl0. Some invasives are good eats, but do consider the source ;)

@DrArialShogren I love PVC. It's like l3ggos for aquatics researchers. Another tip: 1.75 " compression fittings are perfect containers for temp loggers. We use chikkin wire mesh to keep mudbugs out.

[Stephen Golladay @Bankclimber]

In mud lies knowledge! Congrats to @BenCWebster for successfully defending his dissertation @AuburnWater on the paleolimnology of reservoir sediments. The first of hopefully many from the @Waters_Paleolim lab. I have learned so much from this collaboration. #mud #curiosity #fun

@notamishnow Living things, including mussels, can be quite determined to make things work. We just need to give them a chance. I'm happy that you had the experience of discovery!

[Stephen Golladay @Bankclimber]

Another mussel display for your viewing pleasure. This from a tributary of a tributary of the lower Flint River in GA, US. On this day, all the females were 'a luring'. They were hoping to catch a ride for their larvae on an accommodating fish. #musselhugger #riverlove

[Faith Kruis @faith_kruis]

Happy to announce that one of my Master’s thesis chapters has been published! Thank you ⁦⁦@UGAWarnell⁩ ⁦and ⁦@thejonesctr⁩ for the support and resources that helped my coauthors and I accomplish this. https://t.co/QXrCjfVw6B

[Stephen Golladay @Bankclimber]

Does anyone need to see the display of Villosa vibex? It seems like a perfect thing to watch. It is SFW so let your employer pay for the view #musselhugger #freshwatermussel #riverlove

[Stephen Golladay @Bankclimber]

@RicciardiLab Finally! Some noticed!

[The Jones Center at Ichauway @thejonesctr]

It's Mussel Monday! Elliptio crassidens, aka elephant ear,🐘👂️ is a common river mussel species in the lower Flint River basin. Sometimes found in large clusters, they often have a highly eroded outer shell since they're often in rocky substrate with faster moving water.
