I imagine we specifically have Fred Prehn (Walker appointee whose term finished over a year ago and yet he still refuses to leave) and the other Walker appointees to thank for this.

Standards that are 17,000x higher than EPA safety guidelines are bad standards. Analogy: imagine thinking that setting a standard of only eating 80lbs of salt a day is a good decision. Again, the board prefers to listen to lobbyists instead of its own great scientists.

Saving this tweet for the intro slide next time I get to teach anyone about conservation bio

But that's why we're doing the work. Hopefully we can inform reintroduction efforts. We have the tools to save the species, but buy-in from all stakeholders is not quite where it need to be.... at least not yet.

@EdnaChiang I've mentioned your research numerous times with students when giving examples on how seemingly weird/obscure research can have really cool purpose/implications! I hope you're spring term went well, enjoy your summer!

@dcperryman There is a filter for temp/1yr positions

@H2Ortiz Did you got lost in university bay for a bit?

[Vince Butitta @VButitta]

@AForkInTheRiver How about some graphic novels to mix it up? Saga (brian vaughan) - very popular, very good. Anything by Tille Walden (especially On a Sunbeam), great for slowing down and sinking into.

@MooneyRob @spearmike We haven't aged even one bit....

@creekthinker Those novacrafts are no joke too, that's no ultralite canoe!

Republican state Sen. Steve Nass plans to block @UWSystem from instituting COVID-19 testing, masking and vaccination protocols on campuses, a move that comes as health officials sound warnings about the rapidly spreading, highly contagious delta variant

I am so thrilled to share our ‘rough fish’ perspective paper, which is o-fish-ally live at Fisheries Magazine. There's a good amount to unpack in here, so it's 🧵time.

@MooneyRob *nothing like the 30sec of serenity of seeing a gorgeous stream from the thin shoulder of a bridge 20 ft up w/ the truck still idling behind you as you deftly land a bucket in the pool of water & say to yourself "nice! that's 5 done, & only 19 left for today and 3 more days..."

@jayhawktiemann Lead admirably by @Neil_Coughlan_, I'm already using some of those conversions on my current project, what a super handy paper!

[Jeremy Tiemann @jayhawktiemann]

New paper alert!

@VButitta & I collaborated w/ colleagues from around the globe to calculate biometric conversion equations for 6 non-native bivalves species. Study details relationships b/w body size & biomass from geographically disparate populations

A 30% reduction in Wisconsin's wolf population. Hunters fought the DNR and sued to force an immediate hunt. They then shot ~250% their limit in just days, surprisingly absolutely no one. https://t.co/712s6bsrIv
