Had a great time meeting with ~80 scientists, managers, & community organizers during the 7th Symposium on Urban Stream Ecology in San Juan, PR this week. Excited about next steps from our urban metabolism workshop w/@jonnybehrens.bsky.social + future collabs! 💧🌎🧪 www.urbanstreamecology.org #SUSE7

Presenting our urban stream research at the Symposium of Urbanization and Stream Ecology in Puerto Rico #SUSE7

Stream with flowers in channels and grasses on banks

Excited to share today at @freshwaterscience.bsky.social #SUSE7 the amazing collaborative effort we undertook at/after SUSE6 to develop a framework of tools and principles to help communities preserve headwater streams!

Virginia -> Puerto Rico for the 7th Symposium on Urban Stream Ecology & 2025 annual meeting of @freshwaterscience.bsky.social! Looking forward to nerding out & catching up with new & old freshwater friends. Please reach out if you'd like to connect at #SUSE7 or #2025SFS!

Dabble in stream metabolism and attending #SUSE7?

We’d love to see you at the urban stream metabolism workshop/working group! Details forthcoming, but we are excited to collaborate with everyone on a synthesis 😁
