There is no one way to be involved in fisheries science... but we sure do love boats! Welcome to #FisheriesFriday! With this series we are hoping to reveal the diverse field that is fisheries!

In need of advice, please ‼️

Found the PERFECT research job! But it starts now & I don’t graduate my PhD until next summer.

Anyone have advice on reaching out to register interest anyway/ for future opportunities?
