Thoroughly enjoyed the horrified looks on my students' faces this afternoon upon hearing that I initially learned to code in Base R with no RStudio or ggplot because neither was around at the time 😂 it perhaps had never occurred to them that such a world ever existed 🤓👵

Was an absolute pleasure working with these two stellar colleagues, Jane Rogosch and @freshwaterfreya.bsky.social. The amount of early career madness that went down while we worked on this is truly remarkable. This project was basically the only constant in our lives these last few years!

Long‐Term Regime Shifts in Xeric Ecoregion Freshwater Fish Assemblages due to Anthropogenic and Climate Stressors We aim to understand the factors contributing to the persistence of freshwater fishes under altered climate and flow regimes and inform the long-term conservation of global fish biodiversity.

Couldn't be more pleased for this one to see the light of day. A US-Australia view of how fish assemblage composition has changed over ~40 years relative to climatic and hydrologic shifts in arid rivers. Spoiler alert: arid fishes may be in trouble onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... 🧪🐟💧🌎

Totally in the same boat 😫 boy did we time that well.

Reminder! Happening this week!! It's not too late to sign up!

📣Join the Early Career Committee for their workshop on navigating mentorship in freshwater science!

📆Thursday, May 9, 12:00 PM EST

🌐Registration: ua-edu.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Reminder about the open postdoc position in my lab! Will start reviewing applicants on Monday!

🚨 Not a drill: NSF GRFP results are NOW OUT!!!!!

But...good news and bad news.

👍 I'm *thrilled* for the grad students for whom getting this award will be life-changing, esp now.

👎 # of fellowships went down by 51%

(1000 this year vs. 2036 last year)

Pleased to announce my lab will soon be hiring a postdoc! Join an interdisciplinary group working on ecosystem change following the last glacial maximum in southeast Alaska. Substantial modeling skills are a big plus! Applications due April 20th. coreykrabbenhoft.com/join-us-2/

I should say *especially* important. Other impacts already being felt of course.

Don't forget US Forest Service - will be important come fire season.

@freshwaterscience.bsky.social Is there a place/system for finding roommates for #2025SFS yet? I have students interested in finding roomies. Also thinking of help cutting costs for those affected by funding/employment issues wherever possible.

Looking for a faculty position? How about a postdoc position?

Amazing thank you!!

Would love to get a more specific ID. And find out if it's the same species, but perhaps different life stage of their liver flukes...

Perhaps? Our guess was some kind of trematode...

Here's another of it moving while attached to the gill.

Fish and aquatic #parasite friends! This was pulled from the gill of a juvenile largemouth bass. What on earth is this?! 🧪😬

NSF PRFB POSTDOCS:

Pull the remainder of this funding cycle’s stipend, all remaining research funds, and all remaining travel funds (if you have them). Do it before 5PM today. Per instructions from multiple NSF POs.

If you’re not already on the PRFB slack, DM me and I’ll send you an invite

please share: We seek a postdoctoral researcher to join a collaborative team of ecologists in studying the integrated nature of forest functions that are critical for productivity, water and energy usage, and nutrient cycling.

When twitter collapsed, so did @skypeascientist.bsky.social’s donations & teacher signups. We *still* haven’t fully recovered to pre-Elon times. It’s hard enough to run a nonprofit whose business model is “offer free education and hope people believe in us enough to donate”, all this is NOT HELPING.

I'm hiring, two fully funded PhD positions! Come work in Umeå in Arctic Sweden, a leading place for high-latitude ecosystem ecology and carbon biogeochemistry

Happy new year!

Thrilled to announce Women Advancing River Research (WARR) 2025, featuring inspiring women on water research from around the world.

That's me! I'm a freshwater community ecologist! Would love to join the fun!

I am planning to recruit a PhD student to begin in my lab at SUNY ESF for the Fall 2025 semester to work on projects in the area of environmental microbiology.

I am unable to respond to comments/DMs here. Please email with any inquiries. Please read carefully before emailing.

SARS_CoV_2 maybe the most important biological invasion of our lifetime

But infectious human diseases are rarely treated as Biological Invasions

Collaborations between medical researchers & ecologists are vital to preventing future outbreaks

Kuddos to the team on summarizing this perspective! Truly wish I'd had these references handy a couple years ago when I was trying to make this case to some folks in my circle.
