Welcome! I'm here for fisheries science but I occasionally post about KSU athletics, farm life, and knife making.

This analysis by @fishsciencedave is why X exists. Perfect mishmash of science and sport.

Are sliders and sweepers actually different pitches? After conditioning on movement in a Bayes model of ~800k MLB pitches: statistically indistinguishable on whiff, chase, and strike rate.

New book alert on this #MolluskMonday!

Introducing "Freshwater Mussels of Central America"

Our book describes a fauna of global conservation concern in an understudied area

PS- we're trying to reduced the price & make it open access. Stay tuned!

@jayhawktiemann @Musselguy Congrats, man! That's awesome!

@USGSCoopUnits Another example of some top notch folks within @USGSCoopUnits helping states and other agencies conserve fish and wildlife. This program is slated to be eliminated in the Presidents budget. Want to see this and other USGS programs continue? Contact your representatives.

Exciting news! Matt Kauffman, Unit Leader, Wyoming CRU, has been awarded the 2024 Aldo Leopold Conservation Award! This is awarded to individuals who have made lasting contributions to the conservation of mammals and their habitats.

This program encompasses a brilliant bunch of established, newly minted, and future biologists that are critical for conserving the natural resources we all enjoy. If something ever were to need funding, conserving the future of our natural areas has to be at the top of the list.

Fam — here’s a nice overview of the 43 nationwide Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Units, which have been a lasting model for wildlife research since the 1930s, created by wildlife science pioneers such as Aldo Leopold & Ding Darling. 🐟🦌🦆🦃🦎

@Nicktalurus The grotesqueness of potential state records make them real hard to identify. How does one decide if that's a mutt, and if it is, how much muttiness is acceptable 🤔

Took my son fishing this morning, and he caught TWO fish i tagged for a research project in 2020. That's pretty fulfilling for a Dad/biologist!

[Ben Neely @bencneely]

@MOfishlab Damn right there was! Cash rewards are a thing of the past so he's getting a bait towel and some stickers.

These folks represent a critical step in natural resource conservation and need to remain funded!

Amidst continued terminations in the nation's federal workforce, AFS joined forces with @foresters, @rangelands, and @wildlifesociety to issue a statement in support of federal employees and their critical conservation work: https://t.co/Kn4NQt3diD

Just shy of a sell out, but a dominating win for a great group of seniors.

[Ben Neely @bencneely]

There are amazing seats open at amazing prices. Let's give @KStateWBB the sell-out they've earned!

The Soul of College Football is dying because of money. Allowing the Big 10 and SEC to get 4 automatic bids into another expanded College Football Playoff dilutes the importance of winning. 4 loss non conference champions don’t belong in the CFP. The proposed changes open the door for a Monopoly of the sport. The business of College Football is trying to destroying it.
