Also super excited to share that I’m a Margaret A. Davidson fellow and will be continuing at UMBC to pursue a PhD! Looking forward to working with the CBNERR MD on SAV research in the reserve!!

Check out Dalia’s work and some results from my time at UMD! Missing those Beltsville summer field days (and all the little latifolia seedlings 🌱)

New in the @ESABulletin Photo Gallery:

Can plant pathogens take the heat? A recent study finds that a wildflower is more resistant to high temps than the pathogenic fungus that infects it

I can’t believe it’s already been a week! Graduated with my masters from UMBC!👩🏻‍🎓🧪

Happy earth day! Featuring some cool filter feeding #barnacles and #DarkFasleMussels 🌎🌊

She also had to make the decision that me lying on my side was a better bed than her very nice bed two feet away

[Ally Kido @allysonkido]

My non-cuddly cat decided today is the day she will sleep on me, so I guess I can’t leave until she wakes up

New YouTube Video!📷Learn about the significance of the blue crab in Maryland. Jennifer Herrera's (UMCES-MEES) research focuses on the blue crab virome, aiming to understand its potential impact on crab health and transmission.

Mussels vs. No Mussels

Wanna see some heavy lifting? After just 30 minutes, this two-tank demonstration shows the incredible filtration capacity of freshwater mussels. A single freshwater mussel can filter 5-10 gallons of water every day! 💪🏽

Last experiment in progress! Then it’s time for data processing and analysis! 📊😁

[Ally Kido @allysonkido]

Nice day collecting water from the middle branch! Had some fishy friends there for support as I carried the water back with me 🐟

[Ally Kido @allysonkido]

I still don’t know if I should be mad at my cat for waking me up at 4:30 AM. On one hand it’s 4:30 AM and on the other she was purring and making biscuits next to me, which she never does 🥹

[Ally Kido @allysonkido]

Fun start to the day collecting an #AlgaeBloom with @buenoss_diazz!

[Ally Kido @allysonkido]

First month of experiments almost done! Happy to have found a small #AlgaeBloom during the break in the rain ☀️

[Ally Kido @allysonkido]

First experiment of the summer done! Many more to go! 🤩
