Truly honored to have been nominated and selected to receive this award. So many individuals to thank, but most of all the communities of Mae Ngao who taught me so much about their river and how they protect it. @BenthosNews
Congrats to Dr. Aaron Koning (@unevadareno), who received the Hynes Award for New Investigators from @BenthosNews President Dr. Steven Thomas today at #2023SFS/#FreshwaterDownUnder! Learn more about Dr. Koning's nomination here: https://t.co/Cbu4E2gx6q
Very excited about this one! Check out the pre-print for my fourth thesis chapter: we provide response options to #BendTheCurve for imperilled #FreshwaterBiodiversity around the globe through habitat protection and restoration.

Successful 10 day voyage across the flooded Tonle Sap. Great crew and great data! High variation in metabolic gases, turbidity, and nutrients among habitats. Flooded areas very important for ecosystem energetics. #FLAMebodia
@eco_scollins @EStanLimnology I miss that muskrat! Swimming out under the clear ice in late spring. Professor Stanley coming in to work on a Sunday with her collegiate squash jacket on. The good old days!
@MahseerTrust @fishconserve @WWF_FreeRivers This project has been rumored for years, original design would have inundated the entire Ngao River valley and 10-15 villages. All to fill a drying hydro reservoir in a different watershed.
A very sad read on the damming of the river where I’ve spent years with communities and studying their incredible local conservation success. A 70 m dam will fundamentally disrupt the people and place. @fishconserve @WWF_FreeRivers https://t.co/cGAzP8RuGr
@KerryHynes13 Thanks for reaching out! Big finding: conservation by communities can have big benefits for freshwater biodiversity! So let’s take action in our communities! Favorite study species: Neolissochilus stracheyi.
This is my new buddy Tahree. He’s good with a paddle and at pulling in fishing nets out on the Great Lake. #tonlesap#cambodia🇰🇭 @ ខេត្តពោធិសាត់-Pursat Province https://t.co/rNItmFLonA
