Amblema elliottii is a freshwater mussel in the family Unionidae only found in Alabama. The genus Amblema was once in the Black Warrior, but has not been seen alive for decades. Sequencing the genome of Amblema elliottii will aid its conservation. Vote: moty2024.senckenberg.science/en/

Today The Crimson White is on a #Roll, so to speak, as it published several great environmental pieces including this one quoting two #Waterkeepers -- Hurricane Creekkeeper John Wathen and John Kinney of BWRiverkeeper -- about #Tuscaloosa's #sewage spills: thecrimsonwhite.com/114393/top-sto…

I feel incredibly honored by Freshwater Science! This society has been like a home since I was a graduate student and I can’t wait for my summer reunion to see what cool science new and old friends are up to!
