Seining. Boating. Some intense ATV time. Learning. Sharing. Some even more intense late-night dancing. New friends. Plenty of layers. A few delayed flights. And some serious side-eye in the last📷.

An incredible week with this year's ACARE cohort of African #WomenInScience !

My recent OP-ED in the Winnipeg Free Press - Lake lessons from East Africa.

'The problems that plague Manitoba’s premier lake can seem unsurmountable.

Looks like a great event for anyone in SIL interested in global freshwater action!

'Last month, I co-chaired a pan-African summit on the African Great Lakes in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania'
