Had a great week catching up with fellow ecologists at #ESA2026 and sharing my proposed research project on LTPBR 🦫 Also used this opportunity to get some trail miles in up at Alta Ski Resort with friends 🏃‍♀️⛈️

Some photos from a week of field work with the National Park Service and USGS on the Yampa and Green Rivers 🏜️ Thankful for the opportunity to conduct research in such a beautiful place. Now back to analyzing the data! 💻

Has aquatic science shifted away from population ecology toward other scales? A bibliometric analysis suggests population-focused language peaked around the 2010s and has since declined, while community-focused language has continued to rise. What do others think? rpubs.com/bkraemer/AquaPopCom_v1

Some photos from the past week learning how to bridge outdoor ed pedagogical approaches with higher ed learning (read: how can we safely and effectively use the outdoors as our classroom!). Thank you to the River Field Scholars Network for this amazing opportunity! 💦🐟🌱

For nearly 100 years, four large dams on the Klamath River blocked salmon and steelhead trout from reaching more than 400 miles of habitat. 🐟 This World Fish Migration Day, enjoy this footage of their return to historic spawning habitat post-dam removal! 🎥 Swiftwater Films

Wrapping up another annual meeting for SFS! This society has become my academic family providing support, friendships, and research ideas. Thankful to be a part of this wonderful community 💦🐟🌱🔬 @freshwaterscience.bsky.social

Some photos from our trip to the Selkirk mountains with @freshwaterscience.bsky.social on Sunday! Exciting day learning about fens, post-dam restoration, and macroinvertebrates of the Selkirks ⛰️

Excited to present some updates from my postdoctoral research next week at the Society of Freshwater Science @freshwaterscience.bsky.social conference in Spokane! I'll be presenting at 10:30A on Wednesday in the Hydrology, Geomorphology, and Ecohydrology 1 session #freshwaterscience #ecohydrology

Join us at the #SWEEET Symposium on May 14 (1:30-5pm) at #CSEE2026! We're tackling three barriers facing equity-deserving researchers: parenthood, fieldwork access & socioeconomic challenges. Featuring talks by Drs. Courtney Robichaud, Rachel Giles & Diane Srivastava. We hope to see you there!

Absolutely devastating.

Save the Boundary Waters@savetheboundarywaters.org · 4mo ago

🚨 BREAKING: The Senate passed H.J. Res. 140, gutting Boundary Waters protections. This sets a dangerous precedent for public lands nationwide. We’re not done fighting. There are still paths to stop this mine. We'll keep you posted today about what this means and how you can get involved.

I’ve always said that submitting a grant proposal is an exercise in hope—not just in terms of being funded, but as a symbol of what it means to dream big and ask exciting questions. Despite everything happening to federal science over the last year, I’m holding on to that hope. Proposal submitted.

ICYMI: Latebreaking abstract submissions for #ESA2026 are open till 4/23. That includes "traditional" abstracts with quantitative, qualitative or conceptual results, & project proposed posters for early-stage work. Build your CV. Make connections. Improve your science. https://ow.ly/GbsP50YF2iM
