Proud of alll of our presenters and award winners at The Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference this past week. Great job, everyone!

And great poster presentations by Dalton, Jimena, and Julie. Invasive Crayfish, carp hybridization, and Shovelnose Sturgeon growth!

Jimena Golcher-Benavides shares our research on otolith microchemistry to infer natal origins of invasive carps at Iowa AFS meeting. Great job, Jimena!

I wanted to get a photo of Emerson at his first scientific talk. This was it 🤣. The NREM sponsored Errington Lecture was much better than the photo documenting our attendance!

Yes, we sang happy birthday to a prairie...

Dept chair Dinsmore speaking at the 50th birthday celebration of the ISU NREM prairie today. The dedication of faculty, staff, and students to keep this going through the years is amazing. And it will be expanding a bit this year!

Sad news for a Friday. Unfortunately, Unlike some terrestrial animals, I doubt we get grainy pictures of the Scioto Madtom or San Marcos Gambusia to keep the hope alive.
