This discussion provided a refreshing reminder of the community and hope that pours from SUNY ESF - @sunyesf.bsky.social
Accurately described as the “crown jewel” of the SUNY system, ESF needs support from @governor.ny.gov now more than ever to contest the SUNY Chancellors “stability planning”
A presentation that uses AI to discuss the Clean Water Act should be illegal…just sayin 😒

Happy Year of the (Red) Horse! 🐎
The redhorses (Moxostoma) are a group of some 20 native sucker species found in North America. While they're sometimes mistaken for invasive carp, redhorses are actually indicators of healthy ecosystems
Just finished a fun little guy I’ve been working on 🧶: Gulper Catfish (Asterophysus batrachus)
How healthy are the Great Lakes? It depends where. Results are being shared at the GL Forum this week in Chicago.

Got to spend some time in the office this week and I must say the office place humor is on point
I’m Detroit, Michigan for the 3rd Binational Great Lakes Aquatic Invasive Species Forum and needed to share pictures of this amazing carousel I spotted along the Detroit Riverwalk! 🐟
Michigan lawmakers want to greatly increase funding for invasive mussel control research in the #GreatLakes to $500 million over the next 10 years - as Great Lakes Fishery Commission's Greg McClinchey says in this article: "Mussels are this generation’s sea lamprey" bridgemi.com/michigan-env...
One of my favorite species to target from my kayak in the spring time 🎣
The anadromous life cycle of the American Shad for this week’s #SundayFishSketch theme!
Also these bonus goody boxes provided by the GLFC were top notch! (Popcorn was also included but I ate it during the screening 😉 🎥 🍿)
Last night I joined the Great Lakes Young Professionals Network for a virtual screening of The Fish Thief (youtu.be/_3zJyKfi4hU?...).
The film is very well done and highlights the history behind the Great Lakes sea lamprey invasion and how the Great Lakes Fishery Commission came to be!
🚨 New publication alert! 🚨
Excited to share our paper on a new application built into the AIS Explorer dashboard! The app simulates the spread of aquatic invasive species under user-defined prevention scenarios.
Also extremely grateful for the amazing team behind this work! 🙏🏻

New episode of the Teach Me About the Great Lakes podcast is out! I joined a couple other invasive species folks to talk about the new-ish aquatic invasive species in the #GreatLakes region we think people should know about www.teachmeaboutthegreatlakes.com/113
Message frames and metaphors are commonly used within science communication to discuss complex topics, including invasive species. While these communication tools are undoubtedly helpful, the ecological process of invasion juxtaposed with the use of militaristic and nativist language can have unintended consequences that are counterproductive to management efforts. Species naming conventions are likewise complex, with some species bearing names that may reinforce xenophobic concepts or contain racial slurs. Despite the known need, there have been limited national efforts to develop better and more inclusive guidelines for invasive species communication...
