I'd rather piss out a tabasco covered cactus than format tables in Word.

This is fantastic.

This #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, our short film "Avanyu" highlights what the Wild and Scenic Rio Grande means to one Tesuque Pueblo family. The Rio Grande is more than an office, more than a provider, it is home.

The new #NSF #GRFP application now excludes 1000’s of students, including those who were told they could apply this year, or who planned to apply next year.

We have a new specific petition urging #NSFGRFP undo this harmful action. If you are impacted sign here: laurenkuehne.github.io/grfpChanges/

Grant me strength, for I lack the courage or conviction to say no.

Does anyone use the BenthoTorch and do you have a field protocol you'd be willing to share? #streamecology #ecology

There is a certain irony to an account that espouses the "facts" they don't teach you, then uses a photo of an event that didn't happen (just an AI figmentation).

If we don't take risks in life, then what's the point of living?

Really cool results. Focusing on the broader spectrum of particle sizes can reveal patterns that would otherwise be missed if we only focus on the microplastics.

The plastic size spectra: Assessing the size structure of plastic particles across the land-water ecotone Plastics of different types and sizes pollute most of Earth's environmental systems. Here, we used size spectra analysis (SSA) to evaluate and charact…

We detected gradients that followed the shift from land to water.

Way to go Rachel!!!! Congratulations

mmmmmm. yum. I support this...with dash of hot sauce!

It's invasive common carp spawning season. Disturbance associated with carp spawning (i.e., bioturbation) resuspends sediments, nutrients, and microplastics.

I enjoyed reading your paper! Great work!!!

We're looking to hire a fundraising coordinator for 2 separate campaigns. Come join the IRBS team! illinois-river-bio-station.inhs.illinois.edu/about/employ...

Please help share! Please send any questions my way. We're starting to new fundraising campaigns and are in need of a coordinator to raise funds to help support and protect our monitoring and research programs and a new research and education facility.

I ended up going a different direction with a bioturbation, microplastics, water quality focused talk. I already had an abstract written and it might be published before the conference.

Check out our #nongame #fisheries #management symposium at #AFS155.

Nongame you say? Do you have a quick summary of the symposium? I'd be very interested in contributing.

Prime cancelled.

Do you fly in airplanes? Drive on highways? File taxes? Have kids or elderly parents? Go to the doctor? Prefer not to be poisoned by toxic chemicals? Then you rely on the government services that Musk is hobbling. It is tragic that many Americans won’t realize this until those services are killed.

Tomorrow's goal: Cancel Amazon Prime subscription.

Chorizo breakfast burritos are significantly better than bacon breakfast burritos. Replicate samples were taken. I ran the stats. The results are comprehensive. I need a nap.
