🎶It’s beginning to look a lot like #Fishmas🎶
There’s no better fish to kick off this year’s #25DaysofFishmas than the aptly-named Christmas darter (Etheostoma hopkinsi)! We get our road trip started down in the southeastern US with this small species of fish who has big holiday spirit all year long

The young journalists at the IDS stood with me during one of the darkest times of my life. As an alum, I stand with them. May they always speak truth to power. They may never know whose lives they save when they do.
