For ~20 yrs, our community has worked behind the scenes to keep these two apart. So much effort and sacrifice by so many. There is even a secret committee funded by concerned donors. It goes all the way to the top. And yet these two still find a way. Hjort help us all 🙏

But where do we get signed copies? I can tell from the author list alone that this is a must-have. John Fieberg is the only prior you’ll ever need. P.S. ❤️ the cover

Bittersweet news that one of the most upstanding and outstanding professors at my institution is retiring at the end of the semester. Attending his retirement party so that I can talk him out of it.

Overheard during a review of faculty activity reports: Non-tenure faculty (seeing TT faculty reports for first time): my god, when do you people sleep? Tenure-track colleague: we don't.

That was SO special. Exceeded expectations. Talking about the visit from MichiganMusselMan, of course. The sky literally looked like this.

Join us in Hawaii! Accepting abstracts for work on fisheries-dep surveys using novel data (scraping, search vol, social/online listening, georeferenced pics, cameras, counters, drones, apps, & citizen science etc).

The entire Venturelli Lab this semester. Sound on, wait to end Aaron Muehler Paton Willbanks #nonono #thatwashard

Wow! The view during tonight’s lab fish fry in Muncie Indiana. No way 🤯

The only thing acceptable about having to wait over 19 months for a decision because of editor inaction, two rounds of review, and having to find a reviewer ourselves (thanks, tweeps!) is our manuscript. Minor revisions.🤡

Best. Lab. Meeting. Ever.

Interested in what predicts if a lake has aquatic #invasivespecies? Finally sharing that it's human traffic and co-occurring invaders after >1 year stuck in review. Three more papers to come! #artificialintelligence #AI #bigdata link.springer.com/10.1007/s10530…

Are there any (good) online/remote fisheries PhD programs out there? Or at least mostly online? Preferably research-based (limited to fisheries data science?) culminating in a thesis/dissertation.

Need help finding at least two qualified reviewers for a ms about pre-vs post-copulatory sexual trait tradeoffs and male quality in mice. RT or DM.

Lab meeting is cancelled this week on account of #AFS154

Proud of Aaron Muehler, Paton Willbanks, Wade, and Rocco for giving great talks at #AFS154. Can’t wait to share the paper versions. Stay tuned!
