Hello Bluesky!🙂 Some colleagues and I are compiling early-career researcher perspectives on the future of #macrophyte research. So, if you are a student or post-grad interested in #aquaticplants - please take a moment to fill out our survey before July 1st: forms.office.com/r/rVNmmcNFKN

The University of Michigan School of Public Health has an $11m deficit. Staff are getting 0% merit raises, asked to self-furlough, tuition support cancelled, future hiring and job security in limbo. All of this will also impact research and learning outcomes. But there's always money for cops.

Yes, I am a professional scientist, but I am also too immature to ever refer to posts on here as "skeets". Thanks, Lil Jon

I’ll be presenting virtually at noon in this session to talk about quagga mussel selective feeding on Lake Erie Microcystis strains

submitted 2 days ago • 0 comments

The zebra mussel invaded the Richelieu River in the mid-1990s, despite a suboptimal calcium concentration (18 mg/L). After 25 yrs of exposure to fouling, unionid diversity & abundance have eroded to the same extent as in invaded calcium-rich habitats. See our paper: cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/...

More exciting lab news from the @iaglr.bsky.social conference. @hjesparra91.bsky.social received the Student Presenter IDEA+ Award for his impactful research on how road salt affects freshwater systems. Critical work for the health of our lakes! 👏 @waynestateresearch.bsky.social

So much fun watching everyone be willing to be silly. Some good tools were gained to help grow how we can communicate. #IAGLR25

@anna-bagels.bsky.social I noticed a bird foot and looked up to see a larger bird butt and it reminded me of you ❤️

I am really excited to bring improv to #IAGLR25. Scientists need to be empowered to talk about their research, but sometimes it's scary! Improv has helped me feel comfortable talking to anyone about any topic, including science, by learning how to pay attention, listen, and react in the moment.

@uniofaberdeen.bsky.social has the nerve to knowingly let its staff bully, harass, and attack trans people and refuses to abide by its own Transgender Equality Policy, then raises a Pride flag as if that erases the trauma and harm they continue to cause

I want to connect with and highlight more trans voices working with plants, wildlife, and the natural environment so I've created a starter pack! If this sounds like you, introduce yourself by quote-posting this skeet and I'll add you to the list 🏳️‍⚧️

"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

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

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

I was recently talking to someone moving back to Europe, he'd been living in the US, and we were talking about the things he LOVED about the US. 1. Zion NP 2. Arches. 3. Yellowstone 4. Bryce Canyon... It was all our national parks. All of it. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/o...
