How hot is the Arkansas delta? Well, hot enough for the university to have a Hydration Station between on-campus housing and academic buildings. Feels-like temperature exceeded 110F today.

3/ I love this map from Joshua Katz w/ distribution of words for these crustaceans across US. I grew up saying "crayfish" but definitely heard the other words as well - and NE OH does seem to have a mix of at least two of the three, w/ linguistic range of crawdad not far away

“Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb” …is exactly what happens during a PhD program and it takes a long time afterwards to recover.

Had a blast showcasing our fisheries program to undecided freshman!(no pictures of the group bc I’m not invading their digital privacy) We showed them different sampling methods and a little radio telemetry. Hopefully, we gained a few future biologists!

If postdoc fellowships kept up with inflation 🙌
Data.bls.gov screenshot - CPI inflation calculator. A Stipend of 38400 in June 1985 would be equivalent to $107,718.42 today.

To date, my heaviest Bighead Carp (71lb). Collected from an Arkansas River oxbow. Can’t wait to see how old she is.

What do we know about non-game native transplant fish? Are they overlooked as invaders? Check out the March Issue of Fisheries from @AmFisheriesSoc to find out! Hung my copy up for a little motivation to keep me going these last couple months of my PhD! 🐟

Schmidt et al share that #geneticdiversity does not predict species @IUCNRedList status; thus, improved metrics are needed for accurate conservation of genetic diversity.❤️🧬 Read the #heart of their research at doi.org/10.1111/cobi.14064 #conservation #science #Valentinesday
