Went to Iguazú Falls. Rarely am I left without words at the shear beauty and power of nature, but this was one of those times.

I am not sure if I should be proud, sad, excited, or nervous that the last 5 months of work is now in 6 isotope trays, 8 envelopes and 8 vials getting ready to be sent to the US for analysis. Thanks The Fulbright Program Fulbright Brasil Miranda Tilcock UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences !

Got to put salmon eggs (part of thiamine deficiency study) into high school classes as part of Salmon in the Classroom and UCD citizen science. So excited to include kids into this amazing group of scientists doing this important work. Dr Rachel Johnson UC Davis School of Education

Watching artisanal tainha fishermen pull ~500m net to the shore in Barra da Lagoa. Amazing to watch everyone come out to help pull the net in. Note people in the distance are the other end of the net.

Leaving Santos Brazil after an amazing 4 weeks of sampling, learning, asking questions, and hopefully building this seed grant into a long-term project with real management implications. Thanks UC Davis Global Affairs !

So much empathy and respect for people that I have seen give awesome presentations in a second language. I am going to try to fumble my way through one tomorrow. Slightly nervous…

...beyond⬇️risk, Bypass provides productive habitat for native fish & birds. Juvenile salmon grow faster on Bypass than in river (photo below from nearby Cosumnes floodplain; fish on R reared in floodplain; on L in river. Similar results from Yolo). But wait, there's even more
