Very excited to share I won 3rd place 🥉in the Student Poster Presentation competition at Int'l Conf. AIS in May! It was my first international conference, but definitely not my last!

Hard work pays off. Proud of our lab's new honours thesis graduates. Sam Chasse (left) and Imogen Bellinger are both off to do their MSc in the heart of Canada with my buddy CalebHasler. Jacob Bowman (right) is doing his MSc with the legendary Mark Ridgway Harkness Laboratory.

And we're back for another year of exciting conservation pub talks! Join us Sep 10th at the Publican for our first of the semester, featuring Dr. Chris Wilson on the science of sturgeon, the big beautiful fossil fish lurking in our rivers🐟 Free as always, with a cash bar.

The last two dams have been breached, and the Klamath River is flowing freely for the first time in more than a century. Here are some views of the river running through the drained reservoirs. latimes.com/environment/st…

Check this out: Advances and challenges in ecological connectivity science. Please forward to whoever is planning to investigate connectivity. Lots of information in there! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

Tonight's the night that the sturgeon spawn at the Conservation Cafe. How to see you at 7:30 pm upstairs at The Publican!
