Sad, unacceptable, and DANGEROUS. Massive cuts to NOAA, including the Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab (GLERL) are devastating. Among the critical role it serves to the public (as @drkatfish.bsky.social mentions), GLERL was also the site of my Spotted Gar experiments for my PhD. 😢

The US has the best managed fisheries in the world, overall (sure, some of our fisheries aren’t perfect, but most are great, especially compared to elsewhere in the world). That is a fact that makes me to be proud to an American fish researcher, angler, and local fish eater. 1/9

Thanks to our friends at Mongabay, we can enjoy new insight into the use of music by our lemur cousins. I've not been around wild lemurs, but I have spent a lot of time listening to gibbons, and I am convinced that they understand music as we do. The video is delightful.
