#greatnews from @woolnough_mussel_lab @nvellequette has successfully defended her MS in #Conservationbiology, submitted her thesis, and completed her MS requirements! Nikki graduates Friday! Nikki has joined #LSSU for her new job! Congratulations Nikki! We will miss you!

We're hydrologists, of course we use table tennis balls to measure discharge. We’re going back to basics. But we really can calculate discharge this way! One of our hydrologists describes it like this:

Texas retired Air Force General, Mike McClendon, has been arrested for the continuous rape of a child under the age of 14.

We made it to #2024SFS! Today we visited the Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center and got to pick the brains of some wonderful people. Excited for what the week has to offer for #freshwaterscience. Of course I had to go out and find a #mussel first thing. #savethemussels #freshwatermussel

Okay…making a #caddisfly life cycle shirt. Which would you prefer? A) simple B) simple but water line C) water Let me know! #freshwaterscience #macroinvert #water #macroinverts #caddisflyshirt

Lampsilis cariosa life cycle shirt! Such big beautiful babies 😭 #savethemussels #freshwatermussel #freshwatermussels #river #stream #mussel #mussels

First postdoc paper testing fundamental ecological patterns w/ #freshwatermussel secondary production online now (w/ Carla Atkinson, Garrett Hopper, Angela Burrow, & Wendell Haag)! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

Trying to update our #SWAP with images that show the variability of #shell morphology of some #freshwatermussels in SC! #savethemussels #freshwatermussel

We have captured 118,986 images of the Smithsonian's freshwater mussel collection! #ShellYeah Check out the video describing our project! youtube.com/watch?v=um6a24…

Hatchery pup Fisher AKA Fisheroonies is become a distinguished young man! From being found almost dead he is now living the life of chasing off predatory birds, eating frogs and toads, throwing around dead fish, swimming, and keeping us in line on the golf cart.

This never gets old! Beautiful lure display from Lampsilis sp. (most likely L. fasciola)

I never thought I would know so much about #freshwatersnails but here I am!! Trying to write species profiles for #snails recognized in #SC and boy do we have some work to do!! If you want to talk snails please hmu. I’d love to chat. #savethesnails #savethemussels #gastropods

Remaining safe while conducting fieldwork while black & IPOC, and tips for PIs, Universities, and employees of black and & IPOC individuals. Zoom Thursday, July 18 (7pm EST)

Our hatchery pup had to have emergency surgery and part of his left lung removed. If you are able, all donations are appreciated!!! Please RT. Fisher is always team #savethemussels and is even using his bathyscope (busted bottom) to prove it! gofund.me/99186e69

I'm the best at typos. The graduate positions available in my lab have an August 2025 start date.

Just put together a simple guide on how to vectorize R plots in PowerPoint. Check out my first Medium article 🥳 nalinan.medium.com/how-to-vectori…

Never thought I would be photographing #snails but here I am! Anyone know what this is? Collected at Lake Marion, SC.

I haven't been on this app much since it was purchased as a vanity project by a billionaire whacko. But, I found a Hamiota subangulata trying to entice a fish with its superconglutinate. This listed species is determined to make a comeback and that's smile worthy. #musselhugger
