Many thanks to those at @bucknellU #biology, especially Dr. Mizuki Takahashi, for inspiring my current research pursuits at Virginia Tech CNRE & VT FISHWILD. Humbling @NSFGRFP opportunities aside, the journey is only beginning !! x.com/BucknellU/stat…

Congrats to graduate students Brian Case and Corbin Hilling of VT FISHWILD, who earned graduate research fellowships from U.S. National Science Foundation and Virginia Sea Grant, respectively! vtnews.vt.edu/articles/2018/…

Super, super awesome resource that I used on countless occasions when interning for House Democrats and working for TNC Policy. Excellent way for scientists to brief themselves on environmental issues in the 115th Congress !!

Incredible cinematography of a truly inspirational journey. Kudos Rapha EF Pro Cycling and of course Lachlan!! Haven't watched anything recently that made me want to adventure and ride my bike more than this!! : youtube.com/watch?v=e74xnc…

Absolutely riveting. This speech will be in history textbooks someday. Summary from 11:09 onward: "They are counting on your cynicism; that's how a democracy withers. Do not let them take away your power." #ObamaDNC:

It's that time of the year VT FISHWILD; Virginia Tech CNRE #hellbender #herpetology #amphibian #conservation #ricohgr

Right now, #POTUS is removing protections from more than 2 million acres of public lands and waters. It is just another shameful giveaway to oil and gas, who will make an even bigger profit off of the destruction of our nation’s most precious landscapes. #MonumentsForAll

Growing up just south of the Canada border, with a homemade rink of my own for >20 years, this #climate The New York Times story really pulls at the #heartstrings: nytimes.com/2018/03/20/cli…

Was really proud this week to talk to Virginia Tech CNRE in Fralin Life Sciences Institute about my lab's work in past decade on #hellbender conservation in #Virginia, where I plan to take it in future...

Had a super #EarthDay2018 weekend with my best mate in GreatSmokyNPS. Do what you can to protect this planet; its our home.
