Today was a great day at #ICFT
I had the privilege to present my research this morning, and I joined in on some song and dance in the evening at the banquet.

6 days of field work and likely the last until my next position. It's nice to get out of the office once in a while and relive why I chose this career path. It's also always a great time when working with the CFAAS crew at SIU.

A sketched an emerald shiner for this week's #FishSketchSunday. It's the most common shiner we catch during LTEF on the Ohio River.

Darkness comes at 4:30 here in Southern Illinois, which makes fieldwork hard this time of year. But dang, look at that sky!

Our invasive carp tagging event on the Wabash River wasn't as successful as we would have liked (45 out of 215 planned), but we did find some sturgeon!

Holy cow! I just had 40+ follows today. While some seemed random, most were scientists! I'm glad to see you all here :)
Here's an obligatory field photo!

Good afternoon, freshwater, fisheries, large-river, and/or algae researchers! How was your field season? Here in the Midwestern U.S., it was very dry - making it hard to get in some areas.
