Folks, who are your favorite science communicators on Instagram?

I have a great list of the marine biology and conservation folks, but am trying to build out a broader list of people who communicate other types of science using Instagram.

A schedule for the innovative session titled “Science Communication Through Emotionally Charged Extreme Events”. 1:30-1:35 Introduction to the session. 1:35-1:50 Lightning talks by Jeff Jolley, Kerry Flaherty-Walia, and Sara Thompson. 1:50-2:05 Q and A with presenters. 2:05-2:35 Skill building exercise - put yourself in the shoes of a scientist who is tasked with communicating after a natural disaster. 2:35-3:00 Open Discussion. Session will be held on Tuesday August 12 from 1:30-3:00pm in the Rivercenter Conference Room 9

What can you expect from our session next week at the @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social Annual Meeting? Check out our session schedule below!

This session is open to EVERYONE! Come and go as you need/please. Stop in, make a friend, maybe learn something! #AFS155

Calendar page of August 2025. “X”es cross out the days of the month that have already passed. AFS Annual Meeting logos are present on the dates of August 10 through 14.

We are less than one week away from the 2025 @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social Annual Meeting in San Antonio!

Stay tuned to our socials for information on the AFS Climate x AFS SciComm session on “Science Communication Through Emotionally Charged Extreme Events” taking place on Tuesday 8/12 at 1:30.

Not exactly the prey species we were expecting to see in the musky ponds a couple of weeks ago, but always fun to see some small white suckers! #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠

Early career aquatic scientists, don't miss the chance to apply for the Raelyn Cole Editorial Fellowship! This program offers the opportunity to develop your skills in scientific publishing, including writing, editing, and outreach.

Are you an early-career biologist or ecologist who would benefit from an invited seminar? Would you like to come to UMaine next fall or spring to give a talk? Leave a brief comment with some info about what you do. I'm co-hosting our seminar series again, and am filling out our rosters.

You have to do the important “writing shit down” bit to make the circles overlap, though.

Planning your work week on this beautiful Sunday?

Dont forget to pencil in our student feedback session this Thursday, 7/31 at 7pm CT. Students attending the @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social Annual Meeting can present their oral or poster presentations, and attendees can provide feedback.

When you think of migrations, the first thing you probably think of is wildebeest in Africa. But fish migrate too, sometimes very long distances. So, for #FishOfTheWeek, let's talk about how fish migrate. The longest fish migration is undertaken by the Chinook salmon, 1900 miles total

Sampling in the muskellunge ponds this week turned up a couple of surprises, including this beautiful little pumpkinseed! #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠

MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Your AFS SciComm Section will be hosting another student feedback session on Thursday, July 31 at 7:00pm CT. We encourage student members to attend and present their presentation or poster for the upcoming @americanfisheries Annual Meeting in San Antonio, TX! Students will receive feedback from other AFS SciComm Section members on how to improve their presentations ahead of their big days in the Lonestar State. Members can find a link to access the 7/31 feedback session in their email.

Started Monday with a flat tire…next to a small pond…in northeast Minnesota…in July (read: mosquito season). Zero stars, would not recommend.

A biologist holds a channel catfish in one hand and a knife in the other as they prepare to take biological samples.

Sampled a unique impoundment this week with the only channel catfish fishery in our work area! Not going to lie, it was a nice change of pace from the typical walleye/perch or bass/panfish lakes I’ve been working on recently. #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠

Due to popular demand, I am creating starter packs for a) Biology PIs looking for PhD students and b) Biology PIs looking for POSTDCOCs! Please respond saying if which packs you would like to be added to (or if you want to be added to both).

Are you a PI in a biology field looking for postdocs? Here is a Starter Pack of early career biologists currently seeking postdoctoral positions! (Also if you are searching for a postdoc, let me know if you want to be added!) go.bsky.app/8zZNEGV

Any favorite short stories with an environmental bent?

I'm working on syllabi for a couple classes that include a science communication component, but I don't read much short fiction! Hoping to have students read a relevant short story or two.

Are you a PI in a biology field looking for students to join your lab as a PhD student? I made a Starter Pack to help PIs and potential PhD students connect! If you would like to be added to this pack, please let me know! go.bsky.app/EFj87fi

Canoe Tripper Catches Record Trout in the Backcountry, Finds a Creative Way to Preserve It New York angler Benjamin Ferguson caught the new state-record brook trout during a three-day canoe trip in the Adirondacks.

Check out this new N.Y. state record brookie caught on a backcountry canoe trip. They had to turn their canoe into an aquarium & float it on a lake overnight to protect it from raccoons & bears until they could paddle it to a certified scale the next day, haha. 🐟
