Well…the time has come. I made myself a promise of what would be my line in the sand regarding Twitter signaling open season for misinformation and hate. It was crossed. So long, and thanks for all the fish!
Ha! I wrote that over 20 years ago! And I am still absolutely stunned that someone used it for an actual job cover letter.

Congrats to Vaughn Holmes (and team) on his first thesis pub evaluating optimal eDNA detection of anadromous rainbow smelt. Great example of eDNA for monitoring a tough-to-encounter species. @MaineEPSCoR @wellsreserve trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_content/59…
I’m excited to host this eDNA session with Alison Watts @estuaryDNA We’d especially welcome some abstracts from agencies, NGOs, or industry putting eDNA into fisheries practice!

So excited to work with @EvoAppsLab and @ReservoirWebs on this Arctic charr project! See for PhD opportunities!
So excited to work with @EvoAppsLab and @ReservoirWebs on this Arctic charr project! See for PhD opportunities!
Excited for this new @NSF ORCC project with @NBFurey and @ReservoirWebs! 20+ year mark-recapture dataset, high resolution tracking, food webs, and genomics of Arctic charr at warm range edge. We are recruiting grad students: tinyurl.com/MainePhD umaine.edu/news/blog/2022…
Maine lakes are the southern end of Arctic charr habitat, putting the valued fish at risk for the effects of climate change. With @NSF funding, @NBFurey of @COLSA_UNH and @UMaine prof @EvoAppsLab will lead a study on its feeding habits. #NSFfunded unh.edu/unhtoday/2022/…
Please spread the word! We are recruiting PhD students to work with #fish and #limnology as part of an excellent collaborative team on Maine lakes. The field sites are as beautiful as the photos suggest ❤️ @AFS_Students @sfs_src @aslo_opps

We’re looking forward to a dynamic and diverse applicant pool that is excited by team science. Arctic charr have a special place in my heart, as evidenced by the 20 year mark-recapture, trait, and genetics dataset we’ve collected and committed as part of this team effort.
