Currently on backorder and hoping to track some down. Any ideas?
Happy field season!

Beautiful and informative work from @lifesciencestudios.bsky.social perfectly timed for National Invasive Species Awareness Week.

#NISAW #scicomm #sciart
I have been working with the ISC at Virginia Tech to create posters about the impacts of #invasivespecies. I am honored to be part of this important work and I hope the posters spread awareness and education about invasive species. Poster #1 is all about the ISC’s work, check it out!

It's National Invasive Species Awareness Week! #NISAW
Even though the GLANSIS database is for the Great Lakes Basin, it has been a useful reference for my work further east in the Lake Champlain Basin in thinking about aquatic invasive species distribution and risk factors.
#AIS #vermont 🌍🧪
#GLANSIS is a Great Lakes-specific hub of the USGS NAS database, and has data-sharing agreements with #MISIN, #EDDMapS, #iMapInvasives, and more to track #AIS in the #GreatLakes basin. Explore GLANSIS for yourself here: https://buff.ly/3BvQbkX #InvSpWk #NISAW

The "Shrinking Opportunities" section of this article describes what was my first hint at the later slew of executive orders. Let's work together to continue to maintain integrity in science, STEM education, and science communication.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🔬

On 11 February, we celebrate the important contributions of women to the STEM disciplines.

On this occasion, we asked six female scientists what science means to them: home.cern/news/news/cern/international-day-women-and-girls-science-2025

Wouldn't have thought my first post as a freshwater ecologist would be about a land mammal, but this coyote neighbor stopped by, and I thought it might brighten your day. A beaver-created wetland made this possible. 🦫🐾
