"What's a religion talk doing at a science conference?" poses Katie Grosh of Yale Divinity School - and answers it by saying faith communities are places of trust and deep engagement where conversations about water science can tie into faith traditions #IAGLR25

Sarah @dralgaegirl.bsky.social asked “do we have an easy way to get quality analytics off social media, similar to how Tweetdeck used to work?” Any #scicomm folks have any ideas? Any programmers out there?! #IAGLR25 #greatlakessci

A man who needs no introduction: @drfishsg.bsky.social of Wisconsin Sea Grant on using humor to do #scicomm. He also says that he has never received fish questions from random people off the street, which is something that obviously needs to change #IAGLR25

I will definitely take a rain cheque on this week's #SundayFishSketch. Here's an off-theme madtom.

Two old sketches for this weeks topic "bioflurescent". I'm working on a new one, but I am still trying to figure out how to do the pattern of a ray. #SundayFishSketch

#sundayfishsketch — it’s not off theme, I was personally bioluminescing while I was sketching.

Didn’t have time for a #SundayFishSketch this week because I was at the 2025 NANFA convention. But I did crochet this American Eel for the convention auction.

For this #SundayFishSketch I present a Bluefish. Bluefish are a fairly cosmopolitan salt water species. This is in charcoal of course. Might try a biofluorescent fishy later.

Under the administration's proposed budget, Sea Grant - which is within NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research - would be completely zeroed out. Not surprising given that the administration did the same in 2017, but still a gut punch.

Apologies for missing the last few weeks for themes! In light of our new article www.nature.com/articles/s41..., the #Sundayfishsketch #Fishytheme is biofluorescent fishes! #sciart 🦑

The Alabama bass is a great fish, in its native waters. It grows fast & thus is a favorite of tournament anglers. As such, it is often dumped into new waters illegally. Non-native Alabama bass have become a major threat to native fishes, especially other bass species. Don’t move fish!

One visible impact of the illegal firing of NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab (GLERL) employees - no 2025 data updates for water quality in W Lake Erie, meaning no public info on the harmful algal blooms. We detected toxins in April, but we lost the folks who organize & report this data

A little late, but finished a least darter for #SundayFishSketch! The mating displays of this species may not be as intense as some other darters, but males of this species still develop bright red blotches on their fins!

A late #sundayfishsketch, the Redfin Shiner. These small fish are native to southern Iowa and grow about 3” long. Their color is brightest during spawning when they turn a bright steel blue and their fins redden. It is a popular baitfish. #sciart #scicomm #fish #watercolor

My weekend showing friends around arts and food was filled with flying fish motifs, so here's a margined flyingfish 黑鰭鬚唇飛魚 Cheilopogon cyanopterus for my #TaiwanFishes #台灣魚類 #SundayFishSketch. Flying fish are a cultural staple for some of Taiwan's Indigenous peoples. 🦑🐡🧪

I finally finished my painting of my golden tilefish (Lopholatilus chamaeleonticeps), for #SundayFishSketch! These fish have a unique burrowing behavior and their age of sexual maturity has been significantly impacted by overfishing.
