Four images of crayfishes in plastic containers, all with different colors/markings.

Can you identify these species of crayfishes?

Trick question- these are all the same species: Faxonius rusticus, aka rusty crayfish. Size and markings can differ, so be on the lookout! Native to the Ohio River Basin, they are now invasive in VT and many other states. #NISAW #vermont #scicomm 🌎🧪

@markusmelin.bsky.social
Agree! ...and adding freshwater mussels and crayfish to your list!

Fantastic! I love the variety of species you included on the poster.

Beautiful and informative work from @lifesciencestudios.bsky.social perfectly timed for National Invasive Species Awareness Week.

It's National Invasive Species Awareness Week! #NISAW
Even though the GLANSIS database is for the Great Lakes Basin, it has been a useful reference for my work further east in the Lake Champlain Basin in thinking about aquatic invasive species distribution and risk factors.

Middlebury scientists are among Trump's targets - Addison Independent Executive orders by President Trump have cast a shadow over millions of dollars in federal research money that comes to Middlebury College.

The "Shrinking Opportunities" section of this article describes what was my first hint at the later slew of executive orders. Let's work together to continue to maintain integrity in science, STEM education, and science communication.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🔬

On 11 February, we celebrate the important contributions of women to the STEM disciplines.

On this occasion, we asked six female scientists what science means to them: home.cern/news/news/cern/international-day-women-and-girls-science-2025

Definitely has been a rough week for science. Still waiting to hear how my work will be impacted, but know others have already had funding cut. I'm hoping community here can find ways to collaborate. 🧪🌏

Black and white game camera photo of a coyote in profile at night in the snow.

Wouldn't have thought my first post as a freshwater ecologist would be about a land mammal, but this coyote neighbor stopped by, and I thought it might brighten your day. A beaver-created wetland made this possible. 🦫🐾
