We are having a great time at #2024SFS! Some of our lab members and collaborators already presented their work, the rest will be presenting soon.

Great conversations about stream ecology, tropical ecosystems, and the effects of temperature and climate change.

I'm sad I can't be at #2024SFS in person this year, but that doesn't mean I'm absent from the program. Go see my IDEM co-worker/labmate Marissa present Tuesday at 11 (Salon 10) on the initial results of a long-term method comparison project we inherited and finally made forward progress with!

Excited to see everyone at #2024SFS ! Here is a list of work to be presented by our lab members and collaborators.

If you download the PDF version of the #2024SFS meeting program, I feel like I need to clarify that I am NOT presenting 5 posters on Monday (😅); they will be presented by some of my amazing collaborators who are the actual first authors!

Question for anyone attending #2024SFS and staying in the dorms: are pillows being provided or will you need to provide your own??

The #2024SFS app is available to start planning your week of #freshwater #science!

If you prefer not to use the app/website sfsannualmeeting.org/schedule/gri..., PDF of program*: freshwater-science.org/sites/defaul...
*note we found presenting author errors; other poster/talk info seems to be okay

Next week at #2024SFS there are many SRC events that are open to ALL students! Be sure to check them out and have the opportunity to interact with other students!!
