@thekatestewart @AcademicChatter I worked in water utilities, both drinking water and wastewater. Ph.D. in environmental science, focused on emerging contaminant modeling. I graduated and had three professional licenses and use those licenses daily, now.

Let me introduce Dr. Sethna! ⁦great seminar yesterday and successful defense this morning. ⁦@LienneSethna⁩ ⁦@IUONeillSchool⁩ ⁦@IUBloomington⁩

@waterbarnes Dog-based science is the best science

@DrDiatomLee @aslo_org @BenthosNews I worked in Chain O’ Lakes State Park in Indiana. It’s nine interconnected lakes. Eutrophication goes back ~80 years. Two lakes are already a net sink for P, despite increasing human influence. Recovery for those two would be a just a few years.

@LienneSethna I was thinking that silica IS the car, but that’s probably reserved for carbon. I also appreciate that you identify silica as female.

[Jase Hixson @HixsonJL]

@LienneSethna Where do you think silica fits into all this?

[Jemma Fadum, PhD @biogeoJem]

I've seen a few of these.
So.... for your consideration....

14 cities, close to 3000 samples, stood up 3 weeks! Real proud to have worked on this project and grateful for the support we got from our partners and advisors @kylejbibby @psychedonwata @HixsonJL @Microbaclabs

@raventurelli I think the challenge is to put all of them in your mouth at once.

This extremely photogenic cow killer was running around the yard today. Who knows where she ended up, but, hopefully, no one steps on her. #VelvetAnt

⁦@LienneSethna⁩ as if we needed another reason why our research was valuable. We’re basically replacing HABs with astronaut food. https://t.co/gwNSuO4i0I

@PhD_Goddess My computer decided to update during the first day of my qualifying exams, and it cost me one hour out of my four hour exam time that day. I didn’t learn a lesson, but probably sustained some heart damage from the stress of it all.

[Jase Hixson @HixsonJL]

Umm...no thanks. I’ve managed to get too close to two of these in my life. Thankfully they aren’t aggressive. The first, I set my hand within two inches of while at field camp. And then this one, and her future babies, today.

@CeliaMcKee During my master’s, I only got one grant funded. I was pretty bummed until my advisor @DiatomsATTACK said that a 10-20% funding rate was normal in academia, and, so, I should feel good about a 25% funding rate.

[Jase Hixson @HixsonJL]

@DiatomsATTACK this reminds me of my nickname in the lab, which I haven’t thought about in a very long time.

[Jase Hixson @HixsonJL]

@NewellLab @ohioseagrant I’d be interested in talking. Last year, @LienneSethna and I reversed a cyanobacteria bloom a wastewater lagoon (super high N and P), and looks like our treatment from last year has prevented a HAB from occurring this year.

[Jase Hixson @HixsonJL]

@DiatomsATTACK @PhD_Goddess This is true. My scope just has bright field. It works for the most part, and there are some tricks to make it a bit easier. I mounted a webcam to mine, and it works pretty well. I remove it when I have to differentiate small details that a (relatively) cheap camera can’t catch.
