Piscivorous, introduced brook trout in Cleopatra Creek, South Dakota.

How hot is the Arkansas delta?

Well, hot enough for the university to have a Hydration Station between on-campus housing and academic buildings. Feels-like temperature exceeded 110F today.

#AFS153 post-grand social night out at Broadleaf West Side. Ended up #1 in trivia with this great group of gentleman

@AFS_Students Team MORONids proudly took home T-32 place. Just not fair with the amount of brainpower in that room.

3/ I love this map from Joshua Katz w/ distribution of words for these crustaceans across US. I grew up saying "crayfish" but definitely heard the other words as well - and NE OH does seem to have a mix of at least two of the three, w/ linguistic range of crawdad not far away

“Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb”

…is exactly what happens during a PhD program and it takes a long time afterwards to recover.

Peep this! 👇

So excited to share this book project with y'all! This has been a labor of love for Max and I, with a ton of rockstar contributors.

Check the link in Max's original tweet to pre-order a copy!

Had a blast showcasing our fisheries program to undecided freshman!(no pictures of the group bc I’m not invading their digital privacy) We showed them different sampling methods and a little radio telemetry. Hopefully, we gained a few future biologists!

[Jacob Westhoff @JacobWesthoff]

Exciting project where you could earn your PhD while working with #streamrestoration, #Beavers, and fish communities in a unique system. @AmFisheriesSoc

[Shelly Gaynor @ShellyGaynor]

If postdoc fellowships kept up with inflation 🙌

[Steve Rider @SRiderfishbio]

If you’re a #river biologist you know this is a typical boat launch in the spring- 2’ feet deep of muck to get thru just to launch. #Trotlines soaking!!!

[Eric Cromwell @GIS_Cromwell]

Students at @SandyPlainsES raised bluegills as part of an aquaculture program supported by Maryland DNR and @TroutUnlimited.

To date, my heaviest Bighead Carp (71lb). Collected from an Arkansas River oxbow. Can’t wait to see how old she is.

What do we know about non-game native transplant fish? Are they overlooked as invaders? Check out the March Issue of Fisheries from @AmFisheriesSoc to find out!

Hung my copy up for a little motivation to keep me going these last couple months of my PhD! 🐟

[Conservation Biology @ConBiology]

Schmidt et al share that #geneticdiversity does not predict species @IUCNRedList status; thus, improved metrics are needed for accurate conservation of genetic diversity.❤️🧬 Read the #heart of their research at https://t.co/gIwo53qg4n
