Recruiting two positions to join my research group in Pasadena! A postdoc in freshwater ecology jobs.carnegiescience.edu/jobs/postdocto… and also a full-time research assistant for data-intensive ecology jobs.carnegiescience.edu/jobs/research-… Lots of data, data, data - also some field & lab work possible!

The only *good* way to work (limnology) on the weekend? Recruit your microbiologist (lab-bench loyalist) partner (outdoor enthusiast) to carry the kayak for ya!

It's published!! It's here!! My first first-author paper is out for your viewing pleasure 🎉 🎉 🎉 We found that quagga mussel tissue CNP varies (a lot!) in the upper Great Lakes & impacts mussel excretion rates & stoichiometry 🌊🦪 Check it out!! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

I usually LOVE the smell of campfire, but not like this! In Ithaca, New York— air quality index currently at 160 and still ticking up thanks to the fires in Quebec. It’s a great day to close the windows and wear a KN95!

Yesterday seemed bad, but today is:

Hey Cornell University, where can I pick up some free KN95s on campus these days (now that the Covid response/testing sites have closed)??

We’re overdue in announcing a recent publication in #ASLO_LO ASLO. We examined spatial and temporal variability in CO2 and CH4 across 30 temperate ponds and lakes with wonderful @GLEONcollaborators in our #PONDING group. aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100… (1/4)

Publicly recognizing @KevinAEngland for volunteering is whole entire weekend (two grueling 12 hour days!!) to do field work! My research (& physical health) would quite literally fall apart without his help! #AuthorshipSecured #HeShouldDitchMicrobiologyForEcology

(Some of) This week’s water :

it’s the most wonderful time of the year 🎶 (podcasts and plankton! and Taylor Swift’s discography season) #phdchat

PhD opportunity! Join Bella's lab and work on a collaborative project (that my lab is involved with!) on how changing winters affect lake ecosystems. So excited for this collaboration!

Polyarthra sp. = Golden Snitch

In honor of my first committee meeting (today!) for my PhD— here’s some Nov. & Dec. highlights: My last six months have flown by with both academic and personal highs & lows—Cheers to moving forward and the opportunities for growth! 🍻🥳

Fresh in Scientific Data! Continental US dataset of annual lake trophic states, led by the amazing Michael F Meyer. This will bring up so many novel research ideas and projects. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Decided to “end” summer on a high note— we’ve sample 27 ponds in the last 12 days! And we’ll add 13 more to the total next week! Kudos to my undergraduate research assistant, Hunter Heyden, for powering through this tough field work with me! I promise, we’ve had a lot of fun!
