"The only efficient use of generative "AI" I see is helping to meet basic and excessive administrative burdens (e.g. filing unimportant progress reports). Maybe we should just reduce those rather than invest in a technology that can write a C+ essay."

🚨Great #Dog available around Santa Cruz, CA🚨
Meet Ducky our foster pup! He is ~7 years old and weighs 17 lb. He is a Goldilocks dog. Cuddely but not clingy. Food motivated but not obessed. Good energy but not high maintance. Good with people & dogs.

Doing multiple surveys each year lets us see how #Sturgeon habitat use changes during the season. Check out this location in June vs July. Each small dark hump is a sonar shadow created by a sturgeon. 🧪🌎

Next time a student asks, "Why do we need to learn statistics?" Just put this up and sit down silently.

Cool, I'll check it out. These are more of a field guide (like species id) with a much larger ecology and history section in the front then other guides. Also, it is really beautifully illustrated.

Late breaking posters session at #ESA2025 was really uplifting! Science in the USA is in a dark place, but there are so many young, briliant researchers with great ideas, and people and organizations moving science forward. They'll set us back, they'll hurt many scientists, but they won't stop us.

Can we stop with the private citizens should kill invasive species. I've heard it multiple times at #ESA2025. It usually doesn't work and gives people a false view of the issue. This goes for the eating thing too. Look at striped bass in CA to see how that worked.

Big believer that posters are better than talks at conferences. After presentating my first #BetterPoster at #ESA2025, that has only been reinforced.

This is Red Bluff Diversion Dam. The gates are permanently up to help fish, including sturgeon. Seeing this reminds me that change is possible.
