I could not be more grateful for my awesome co-authors as this first dissertation chapter crosses the finish line 🤓🐟

Thanks @BellsBrewery - I needed all 6 of these tasty Michigan natives to make it through last night. #GoBlue 💙〽️

Stoked to share this position with the Pregler Lab, and I encourage folks to apply!! I've been looking up to @KCPregler since 2017, and can vouch that you won't find a more thoughtful mentor. And what an opportunity to study trout #conservation #genetics in @GilaNForest!🐟🤓

[Kasey Pregler @KCPregler]

🚨PhD position in my lab!🚨 Want to work on conservation genetics of one of the rarest trout species in North America in the beautiful Gila National Forest wilderness? Details w/ eligibility and how to apply: https://t.co/9a4B5j5QRl Questions should be sent by email. Pls share!🐟

[Sam Silknetter @silknets]

I also wanted to share this AWESOME PhD position! I did my M.S. at Clemson with @TheThalweg and took John Morse's EPT course at @HighlandsBIO. Two excellent mentors in a great college town. Happy to answer questions ([email protected]); be sure to apply soon if interested!!!

Personal travel after an amazing #2023SFS #FreshwaterDownunder Highlight so far has been a full day @AustraliaZoo! Absolutely 'chuffed' to see @RobertIrwin, then get to shake his hand after the show 🐊 We share the middle name Clarence, so we're basically best friends now 😄

[Kurt Anderson🦠🐛🐟 @kurt_ecology]

Congratulations Ryan Conway on a fantastic presentation! Excited that he could share his PhD work on network and disturbance effects on temporal beta diversity. #freshwaterdownunder @BenthosNews

@phoenix_rogers @_NZFSS @AusFreshwater @SiobhanNuri @kim_bugs Glad I could creep in the background of this photo 😂 And yes, so many awesome peers!!

[Sam Silknetter @silknets]

LET'S GO!!! So excited to start the long (and long-awaited) trek to #FreshwaterDownunder #2023SFS. Stoked for awesome science with @StreamCLIMES and @DryRiversRCN, catching up with old friends, and hopefully meeting some locals 🐨🦘

[Erin Hotchkiss @FluvialBenthos]

LONG travel day begins tomorrow! We're looking forward to reconnecting with & meeting new freshwater science colleagues in Brisbane at #FreshwaterDownunder #2023SFS! Talks & posters given or co-authored by members of our lab group are listed below. Safe/healthy travels, everyone!

[Sam Silknetter @silknets]

Join us!! This lab has been an awesome home for 4+ years and the climate change vulnerability work has really helped shape how I think about conservation. Such an awesome opportunity 🌏

[Sam Silknetter @silknets]

Sounds like an awesome opportunity with an awesome postdoc!! 😀

[Lauren Stoczynski, PhD @Eco_Stosh]

Do you teach quantitative skills in a biological context? Would you be willing to share your perspectives on quantitative skills and how you incorporate these skills into your course(s)? (1/3) #AcademicTwitter #Research #Biology #education

[Sam Silknetter @silknets]

@SabatSergio Would love to go for a run when I get in on Friday! About time I start training for the 5k 😂

[Sam Silknetter @silknets]

Shoot, this whole time I thought Lucinda Williams was doing cartwheels down that gravel road 🤯 Enjoying my commute with @HappyWoman9 and all the #WomenOfFolk

[Sam Silknetter @silknets]

This spring weather has me excited for some more adventures in the New River Valley with the family! #Cascades #NewProfilePic

ALERT: self described native fish fiend!!! Does anyone know of open grad school opportunities?

[Cole Hoffman @HofTheHook]

Feeling a bit disheartened in my search for graduate programs and future positions. Responses have been low, but I’m still hopeful the right people will see this crazy native fish fiend is out there. Currently missing field work and teaching, can’t wait for warmer weather.

[Sam Silknetter @silknets]

@HofTheHook @stephenplont @RichWalkerFish Sorry to be late to the party - my Twitter time has been at an all-time low lately! I don't know of open positions, but scouring resources like the SFS board and Texas A&M's job board are good places to start. DM if you have more questions!

[Sam Silknetter @silknets]

I wanted to show an undergraduate mentee how cool net-spinning caddisflies (Hydropsychidae) are, and dug up this gem! Thanks @DewiRoberts77 for the awesome footage :)

[Dewi Roberts @DewiRoberts77]

I filmed some more net-spinning caddisflies yesterday - this time on the lovely Rheidol, Ceredigion. #Hydropsyche #Trichoptera. These were filmed in real time - slow motion footage to follow
