I'm excited to share that I've graduated with my PhD from @uwsafs.bsky.social, with a dissertation focused on the lifetime trophic ecology of fishes and invasive species management!

Thank you to @oldenfish.bsky.social for your mentorship and support!

The impact of invasive fishes lasts a lifetime -
we found lifetime trophic shifts in native species using fish eye lens stable isotope analysis coupled with otolith growth measurements 🐟 👁️ 📈

🆕 in "Ecological Applications": Simulations based on real invasive fish removal programs point to alternative management strategies that efficiently—and effectively—control invasive organisms

📄Optimizing control of a freshwater invader in time and space

Excited to see my first PhD chapter published this week in Ecological Applications!

Curious how fish eye lenses and otoliths can be used to uncover individual time series of trophic ecology?

Attend my upcoming seminar at NOAA this Thursday!

Merry Fishmas! 🎄 Thank you, @clairevaage.bsky.social, for this beautiful holiday card featuring a Sonora sucker, one of my favorite fish 😍

This coming year we need the world to focus on rivers.

For that, and for your last-minute holiday shopping, here's my list of best books about rivers & water.

Prioritizing rivers needs both head & heart, so list has both fiction & non-fiction.

Hey everyone! I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Washington and my research focuses on the impacts of invasive fishes on native fish trophic ecology & how to mitigate those impacts via invasive species management 🐟 🔬 🧪
