🚨Open call to all our early-career friends involved in collaborative/ECR-lead projects to join this interesting session at the upcoming ASLO-SIL meeting in Montreal 2026!
Hope to see many of you there 💦💙

Running an early career (ECR) initiative in aquatic science? Come present it in EP010 at ASLO–SIL 2026.
Showcase your program, share opportunities, and connect with other ECR networks. EP010 doesn’t count toward the 1-talk limit, so you can still present research.
Questions? DM me.

3/4 📉 The data is alarming:
☠️ 85% decline in freshwater species since 1970
☠️ Less than 50% of EU waters in good health
☠️ Hundreds of harmful chemicals go undetected
Freshwaters are 🌍 biodiversity hotspots - and they’re under threat.

These scientists are urging the EU to:
🧪 Update pollutant lists based on modern science
⚠️ Address chemical mixtures, not just individual substances
🛑 Enforce the Water Framework Directive
🔍 Use advanced monitoring tools
