The scientific road can be a rocky one! If you're struggling with setbacks in your research, consider submitting an abstract for #2025SFS for the session "From Dead Ends to Discovery: Embracing Failure as a Pathway to Scientific Progress" organized by Dr. Elise Snyder and @amaryllis-adey.bsky.social

SFS Council for Underrepresented Voices (CUV) seeks new members, diverse perspectives and backgrounds The Society for Freshwater Science invites nominations for the SFS Council of Underrepresented Voices (CUV). The CUV is a forum for members from groups that are underrepresented in the aquatic sciences to convene and provide perspective and guidance on SFS programs, goals, operations, and initiatives. The CUV welcomes all ideas and opinions, and it will play a key role in SFS’ path to becoming a truly diverse and inclusive scientific society. Nominations accepted through December 13, 2024.

Hey SFSers! Would you like to be nominated to the Council for Underrepresented Voices in the society? Have any suggestions of someone to nominate? I'm happy to write a nomination, but I don't feel like I know anyone well enough to just do it. So lemme know! 🌎💧🧪

The endowment award applications are open for 2025!! There are endowment awards available for both undergraduate and graduate students!

There are named awards and general endowment awards. The application criteria are described on the website: freshwater-science.org/awards-progr...

Not me seeing this while waiting for my code to run!

Society for Freshwater Science: SRC International Committee We joined the SFS Student Resource Committee in 2024. We aim to connect students of the US SFS to other freshwater science societies throughout the world. This sub-committee serves as an international...

The new International Subcommittee is looking to learn more about what our student members would like from the committee! We look forward to getting to connect with you and learn about what sorts of events or resources we can provide!! Fill out this form to give your input: forms.gle/3GQPmgQbZQU6...

I usually set students up with the swirl package, swirlstats.com. This is great for the basics of how to code, so would depend on what their base knowledge is.

Coming up this evening at 5 PM EST!! Looking forward to connecting with our student members to start or continue building our community and support network!

Line graph time series of 2024's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with white for the 1980s, green for the 1990s, blue for the 2000s, and purple for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2002 to 2022. 2024 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between October and January by looking at the decadal average line positions.

Monday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the *2nd* lowest on record (JAXA data)...

• about 510,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 1,060,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,700,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 2,190,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Depending on your relationship with your family/friends, explaining your research to them can help you develop these important communication skills and learn where you can improve your explanations or level of detail!

I’m recruiting graduate students and a postdoc to work on a range of hydrology topics- from water quality in agricultural landscapes to critical zone process (a)synchrony! Interested? Let’s chat at #AGU24!!!

Our second co-chair of the social media committee is @amaryllis-adey.bsky.social, a graduate student at Notre Dame studying the impacts of various threats to coastal wetlands of the Great Lakes and southcentral Alaska. Amaryllis joined the SRC after the meeting in Brisbane!

Deep green branching fingers of freshwater sponge found in clusters on a lake bottom.

Did you know... that there are freshwater sponges???

Here's a photo I took of some in a lake in Michigan near me. I love finding them, and telling everybody about them. 🤓

Freshwater jellyfish (Craspedacusta sowerbyi) up close. Floating in a dark watery environment, the tiny jellyfish appears white and mostly transparent, with fine tentacles floating up behind its bell. Photo (c) Jan Hamrsky, www.lifeinfreshwater.net.

Did you know... there are freshwater jellyfish?

I find them in many lakes I study. Too small to sting us, they live as polyps on the bottom, producing medusae ("jellyfish") when conditions are right. My photos aren't great, so enjoy this one by Jan Hamrsky, www.lifeinfreshwater.net.

YouTube video by IAGLR Making Aquatic Science Spaces More Equitable, Diverse, Inclusive & Accessible: A Panel Discussion

What a great conversation yesterday about putting #EDIA the forefront of aquatic science spaces! Co-hosted by IAGLR and SCAS. Now available on YouTube & worth taking the time to listen. #GreatLakesSci youtu.be/1SdxRw0bb3o?...

Announcement for women in river research lecture - energy fluxes in streams and rivers by Joanna Blaszczak and Erin Hotchkiss. Nov 21 at 11 AM Eastern. There are two images, one of each scientist

🧪 today is the day! Are you excited about #streams? #carbon? Dynamic talks by fantastic #biogeofeminists? Tune in for the last #WARR talk of the year! Nov 21st, 11 am ET @fluvialbenthos.bsky.social @joannablaszczak.bsky.social 🔗 www.cee.psu.edu/events/women...

An infographic illustrating the findings of our new paper on the cultural ecosystem services of wetlands. The infographic features, as the centre, a drawing of a wetland (featuring reeds, water, a small wading bird, and some insects). Arranged around this central image are bubbles that list the percentage of papers that we reviewed that reported information on different types of cultural ecosystem services associated with wetlands. These include categories such as recreation and tourism, inspiration, sense of place, aesthetic value, and bequest.

ICYMI - our new paper reports a systematic review of the cultural ecosystem services provided by wetlands:

@sfs-src.bsky.social @freshwaterscience.bsky.social

Get a fun holiday decoration and support @sfs-src.bsky.social in the process!

What a great idea!

I study coastal wetlands in the United States. One of my favorite field sites is in the Copper River Delta in Alaska, where I study aquatic food webs.

@sfs-src.bsky.social will be hosting a monthly community and networking events. Be sure to check out the December event on 12/9 at 5 PM EST!

Finally, rounding out the SRC intros, we have our Social Media Chair, @amaryllis-adey.bsky.social ! Amaryllis is a PhD student at the University of Notre Dame, where she studies coastal wetlands of the Great Lakes and southcentral Alaska

Forever chemicals hurt vulnerable Hoosiers. We need to hold polluters accountable. Forever chemicals have been linked to infertility, developmental issues, cancer and other health issues.

Great Op-Ed about PFAS or 'Forever Chemicals' written by Josh von Werder, an undergrad in the Lamberti Stream and Wetland Ecology Lab!!

Three undergrads I work with did a great job presenting their work on Elodea in the Copper River Delta of Alaska today at
@notredamescience.bsky.social #COSJAM!! Corbin talked about his thesis assessing the impacts of Elodea on sockeye while Gracie and Jace talked about the impacts on food webs!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of serving on a panel "Researching the Climate Crisis" hosted by Graduate Student Government @notredame.bsky.social and Ben Francis. Wonderful to hear about research across disciplines from other panelists, Bill Kakenmaster (PoliSci) and Tim Fab-Eme (English/Anthro)
