2025 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From! This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

A little weird to be on the other side of the podcast after 3.5 years of hosting, but thankful Nick took the time for a farewell (for now??) episode!

Also quick point of clarification, I said grad school is expensive, when I meant Bozeman, MT is expensive (especially on a grad student salary).

If I may, I am inserting my TED talk about starting small, doing whatever you can here

People will join you when they see you working. Your efforts don’t have to be permanent or reach millions of people to matter

Everybody can’t just sit online and complain the next four years

Really enjoyed this interview with Dr. Joey Bernhardt! Super cool to hear about how seafood biodiversity benefits human health, why lab experiments are still important, and how she got to her current position!

This week Brendan chats with Dr. Michael Rennie about the IISD Experimental Lakes Area and how whole lake experiments help better understand ecology. They also discuss an ongoing project reintroducing extirpated freshwater shrimp into a lake among others

Really enjoyed this interview with Niall! Little different episode format than usual, but super fun to focus on this new book of advice from MT fisheries biologists!

I had such a blast interviewing Marlis for this double feature of the @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social candidates for 2nd VP! Glad Elise and I got the chance to do these episodes again this year!

Here, Brendan (a white man) is standing in a boat on a river in a maroon jacket, black hat and black glasses holding a large channel catfish. The river is a slightly muddy green color and the banks of the river are covered in lush deciduous green trees and shrubs. The sky is mostly cloudy with a patch of blue sky.

Here, Miranda (a woman with dark brown/black hair and light skin) is standing on a boat in a harbor (near other large fishing boats) holding a large salmon out to the camera. She has a dark grey beanie on, blue jeans, and a dark blue long sleeve shirt.

Here, Miranda (a woman with dark brown/black hair and light skin) is wearing big black glasses, holding two big plastic test tubes (holding fish eyeballs) near her face with a big grin. She is wearing a black shirt with floral patterns, has a ring on each of her ring fingers (one is a diamond wedding ring) and is standing in front of a white building.

Check out my latest @fisheriespod episode with Miranda Bell Tilcock! We talk about how to use fish eyeballs to look at diets, her work for the Delta Stewardship Council, how she balanced being a mom with finishing her master’s and more!

Opinion | Things I Thought Made Sense Just Don’t Anymore Most days I feel as if I woke up from a nap I didn’t mean to take into a world I don’t quite recognize.

Here, Michelle (a shorter, white woman) stands in a crouching stance on a rock gravel bar in the middle of a wide river. She is holding a large Yellowstone cutthroat trout facing to the right of the photo in spawning colors (dark pink toward the front of the fish that transitions to gold at the tail of the fish). Michelle has her hair tied back out of the frame and is wearing a light blue hat, sunglasses, a pink long-sleeve shirt, and grey waders with a bear spray hooked to her waist. In the foreground there are tall evergreen trees and light green shrubs along the riverbank, in the distant background are green mountains covered in dead trees (likely from a past burn).

Also wanted to share last month’s @fisheriespod.bsky.social episode with Michelle Briggs, a PhD student studying recovering cutthroat trout in Yellowstone Lake! We cover her work in/around YNP including scuba diving for inverts and backpacking for YCT genetics! www.podbean.com/ew/pb-8jtk4-...

Here, Anthony (a white man with short blond hair) is wearing a bright orange sun shirt, brown waders and sunglasses with croakies on his face. He is standing in a river with forested mountains in the background with brown grass and leafless deciduous trees along the river bank. Anthony is crouched over a fishing net holding a cutthroat trout with one hand towards the camera. The cutthroat trout is characterized by a green/tan color with black dots along its back and tail as well as a blush pink cheek and light pink (spotless) color along most of its side. The dots come down to fill the rest of the body just in line with its adipose fin.

Here, Anthony (a white man with short blond hair) is wearing bright orange waterproof overalls, a gray shirt, green vest, and gray Idaho Fish and Game hat. He is standing on a boat on a laker where evergreen trees and a clear blue sky line the water edge in the background. Anthony is holding a massive lake trout close to himself, where the belly of the lake trout is sagging from its size. The lake trout is characterized by dark skin with light spots across all of its body and skin and also has a pink tag near its dorsal fin.

Check out my latest @fisheriespod.bsky.social episode with Anthony Dangora,a regional fisheries biologist from Idaho Fish and Game. In this episode, we cover Anthony's early focus on larval otoliths and salmonids, his career path thus far, and more!
