I had the very cool opportunity to be interviewed on @pbsnews.org for "Tipping Point: the Mighty Mississippi".
Check it out to hear all about how #beavers were part of the Mississippi River Basin's past, and need to be part of its future as climate changes!

Great kickoff workshop for the launch of the #Sandpiper project! It was a real pleasure to be invited as a panelist—and a special treat to return to my beloved St. Anthony Falls Lab. I’ve missed that place!
Excited to follow the progress of Sandpiper and its incredible team of PIs!
