One of Curt’s favorite birds! We see them near the cabin occasionally.

I agree, that’s a better way to phrase it.
Great Lakes yellow perch are the best!! Maybe we need a “taste test” data category for research purposes… 😉
I only have undergrads, but when I was applying to grad school I heard from multiple prospective advisors that they don’t hire anyone right out of undergrad - they want them to have field experience & better idea of research interests first. I give my students the same advice.

I am working on the section of my marine biology career advice book about applying to graduate school. I have lots to say here from both my own experience and years of teaching this stuff, but I’d welcome your input on any or all of this if you’re willing.
Two coolers of fresh Lake Ontario yellow perch in the lab! My seniors will be working these up for capstone research projects. So grateful for good relationships with anglers and seafood processors that make these projects possible. 🐠 🧪

Also I forgot my lunch 😭
I have one that I wrote when I was managing social media marketing for the grad program at my last position. It’s not SciComm per se (science related but goal was to share grad work and recruit new students) but it does follow a typical marketing strategy format, includes a COMPASS message box etc.
So, today I gave my first exam in class, and didn’t realize until I handed out the exam that I only printed half the pages, so half of the questions are missing 🤷♀️ How is your day going? #AcademicSky

The higher up in science you go, the more time you spend sitting down!

This is a thoughtful and great write up about teaching science. Science educators- give it a read.
