More than being a thoughtful and imaginative scientist, Kurt is also an absolutely fantastic human. Which is a big part of why I’m so excited about this new book. I can’t wait to read his thoughts about our relationships with rivers.

Kurt’s fish biology and river ecology research was a huge influence on the way I think about and study rivers, and I was lucky enough to get to spend quite a bit of time with Kurt while he was on sabbatical at my PhD institute working on his first book.

I witnessed something similar with birds on an undergrad field trip to Malheur Wildlife Refuge—a bald eagle was surrounded by thousands of snow geese that were all just hanging out.
Then the eagle hopped right on top of one of the geese and just started ripping its feathers out. So, crabs beware!

AFS has changed a lot (for the better!) since I attended my first chapter conference (ORAFS) 20 years ago. Back then, I was one of the only white women in a sea of white men. Now we have much more diversity & stronger science as a result!

The proposed mines are in critical habitat for SARA-listed Westslope Cutthroat and Bull Trout, and the area is already struggling with drought. Coal mines poison waterways with toxic amounts of selenium. And tailing pond disasters are never a question of “if,” but “when.”

I lived in Vancouver for 2 yrs for a postdoc at UBC. I didn’t own a car, which sometimes made it challenging to get to the mountains for trail running, but was otherwise no issue. If I had found a good-paying permanent job, I would’ve loved to have stayed.

Unfortunately not 😢
My non-profit allows me travel to one conference a year and it’s usually the Oregon Chapter of the American Fisheries Society.
But if you share the final results (once published) here, I will be sure to read & share!
