Apparently Elizabeth Myers and I have a tradition where we wear the same lab shirt and take pictures by rivers at AFS meetings. Pic on the left this year at #afs153 in Grand Rapids, pic on right from last year in Spokane. 😆

The #AquaticEcologyandAstacologyLab made it to Grand Rapids for #afs153 . Stop by Elizabeth Myers’s poster to see why coastal ridges are important to fisheries. 🐟🐠🦈🦀

Excited about the crawesome research that is happening in the 2023 Nicholls Biology #AquaticEcologyandAstacologyLab . Four grad students and one undergraduate working in 5 different south Louisiana river basins on crawfish & coastal fisheries. 🦞🦀🐟🦐

New semester, new research projects, and new students in the #AquaticEcologyandAstacologyLab . Sampling with new grad student Kathryn Freeman on her thesis project collecting life history info for crayfish of greatest conservation need in Louisiana. 🦞

Fascinated by the mysteries of the universe, captivated by cutting-edge innovations, or curious about how things work? If so, a degree from Nicholls State University College of SciTech might be your perfect ticket to a world of discovery and advancement.  nicholls.edu/sciences-techn…
