My 5th annual free Nanticoke River Invasive Fishing Derby, presented by @salisburyuniv.bsky.social, sponsored by Coastal Conservation Association MD, was another success at getting anglers out to target invasive species! We caught 250 invasive fish, totalling 500 lbs & got trained some new anglers!🐟

This paper shares perspectives from myself, @taorminalepore.bsky.social, @chronictox.bsky.social, @neurocait.bsky.social, @wobbologist.bsky.social, @arielsteele.bsky.social, @schulzscience.bsky.social, @sarahknutie.bsky.social, @noahwithfish.bsky.social + others. go.bsky.app/1hJWgm

I am beyond excited to share that our paper, "Neurodivergent Perceptions, Experiences, and Perspectives in Academic Biological Sciences Spaces" has been published! A 🧵incoming because this paper is so special to me and the co-authors. doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

I’m hosting my 5th Annual Nanticoke River Invasive Fishing Derby this Saturday, July 18th! This event is FREE to the public thanks to our sponsors CCA MD & Salisbury U, aimed at encouraging people to catch & eat invasive fishes like blue catfish.

Climate.us is officially live! After NOAA ended Climate.gov’s day-to-day operations in 2025, former team members built Climate.us to carry that work forward. Their explanations and graphics have always stood out to me as clear, accessible, and transparent. I’m really looking forward to this reboot.

Funding science education projects, while paying local artists for their work, while making you all look cool as hell in marine biology shirts, is shrimply the best way to make good stuff happen. At least I think so. Speaking of which... Have you seen our latest shirt?? SquidFacts.net

Excited to share our new paper on Thinking Outside-the-box: a Perspective into Non-traditional Invasive Species Management Practices, which introduces the special issue of the same topic in @sicbjournals.bsky.social, led by current MS student in my lab, Liam Hanley! academic.oup.com/icb/article-...

It’s that time of year again.. if you see turtles crossing roads/out in the open/digging, they are doing their normal behavior. They are searching for a spot to lay some eggs. Leave it be, unless it’s in a road, then carefully pick it up & move it to the other side in the direction it was going 🐢

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

When I tell people who are older than me that I’m a professor, I get “oh so you’re in school to be a prof?” more often than “what do you teach/research?” 🤦‍♂️ I’m finishing my 5th year now & apply for tenure in the fall. At what point/age will people start believing that I have the job I say I have??

I made a new online store on RedBubble because I wanted to get some new tank tops for summer and thought it would be cool to have some with my artwork on them!

Hey kid, do you wanna learn about reffling? All the cool Loricariidae are doing it! Join us for episode 76, where we chat with @noahwithfish.bsky.social! We'll learn about his incredible career and his work studying fish species which can ambulate on land! Find it on your podcast app of choice!

Polarized sunglasses are a must have for fishing or any form of aquatic/marine research because they help cut the glare, allowing you to more easily see through the water. Behold their power!

This is the first paper out from our "Disabled and Neurodivergent Perception, Community, and Identity in the Biosciences" symposium issue (co-organized by me and @taorminalepore.bsky.social!) through @sicb.bsky.social! We are thrilled for Noah et al.'s work + excited for the other papers coming!
