Thank you!!

Thank you! All thanks to colorbrewer and canva 🤍

Presented the first poster of my masters this week at the #internationalflatfishsymposium! 🐟 (nobody commented on how I matched my poster, though 👎)

I’ve also been to Utah in October and the yellow aspens against the dark purple of the mountains is stunning!

The drive from Salt Lake to Arches with snow on the ground is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. I went in March, fantastic!

I did it. If you also say "thank you" to the bus driver when you get off the bus, please let me know and I will add you.

Please follow these driver thankers who are probably also good community members in other ways.

Awesome, thanks!!

Would love to be added if still room!

lol don’t be embarrassed, I grew up in TX and didn’t even find out about it until undergrad - in Florida. 😅

Yay ecology + social science!

Last month I had my FIRST successful tag and release of a scalloped hammerhead inside the #flowergardenbanksnms. We’ve been trying to find them in the sanctuary for almost 3 years!!

Turn up the volume to hear my yell of excitement 😆 🔊

Amazing!!! Such a rich area that so often gets forgotten.

I am suturing the body cavity a Greenland halibut post insertion of an acoustic tag. Field work was conducted in October 2024 in Trinity Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. All work was conducted under proper DFO permits and handling guidelines. Thankful to boat crew and DFO staff for keeping us safe, trained, and fed.

Excited to use bluesky for my first #conference as an MSc student next week - the #InternationalFlatfishSymposium in Wageningen, the #Netherlands. Gonna be sharing background, methods, and future steps in my masters research. (And cool pics/vids!) 🇳🇱

Is there a water justice starter pack?

You rock!

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

So excited to be on Bluesky! So here is a blue sky, and a #puffin (w snacks). Excited to connect with more #naturalists, #ecologists, #fish people, and just generally not feel dread when I open social media 🦋
