Fisheries research scientist and advocate for improving how we communicate. Things that make me happy: my family, books, coffee, travel, my cabin in the woods. Oh, when people understand the dire need to protect biodiversity.
LAST day for early registration for the @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social annual meeting in San Antonio. Plenty of excellent fish science, networking, and motivation to be found! PLUS I am running a science communication workshop with the ever-inspirational Carolyn Hall on Sunday August 10th.

Pay attention! This is an attempt to weaken the endangered species act, among other things. It is also an effort to promote mining & oil over conservation measures and compliance. This Admin is about billionaires, not regular citizens/patriots. Please comment! #ConservationOverCorporations

Ironies of ironies...COP30 will meet in Brazil. At this meeting there are plans to focus on the importance of nature and land use as part of climate action. AND YET they are constructing a highway through the rainforest for COP30 transportation. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The infrastructure required to host COP30 in Belém is undermining the cause, campaigners say.

#Fishmas Day is here at last, so break out the candy canes because Day 25 is all about the stripes - the Striped Shiner (Luxilus chrysocephalus), that is! We end this year's #GreatLakes #25DaysofFishmas by shining some light on a small fish who’s not often in the spotlight ✨
It’s #Festivus, so you know what that means - time for an Airing of Grievances about a #GreatLakes Grinch! Goldfish (Carassius auratus) - yes, the goldfish of home aquariums worldwide - have unfortunately been an invasive species in the #GreatLakes for decades #25DaysofFishmas
What a wonderful way to end the year with a focus on Hope. I loved being a guest on @storiessustainus.bsky.social - In this episode, Steven included my response on what gives me hope. Such a great question we should all think about!
