A big thank you to the Hydrobiological Institute on Lake Ohrid (90 yrs!) for hosting me these last few days. A great opportunity to meet the scientists plus NGOs and businesses to discuss plans for collaborations and to see Lake Ohrid and Belchista Wetland

Yes! Its habitat is deep water

Lake Ohrid is millions of years old and has more than 200 endemic species including Ohrid belvica (Salmo ohridanus). Reminds me of Coregonus

Successful retrieval today of autonomous up looking #acoustic unit from Lake #Champlain after 5-month deployment to observe #Mysis and #fish shoulder season and overwinter behavior every hour. Mysis day/night sampling to verify acoustic targets. Excited to see data! @uvmvermont.bsky.social

Really good to have contributed to this new study, which uses long-term lake data to detect the impacts of storm events on seasonal phytoplankton growth: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The number of new grants handed out by the National Science Foundation since President Donald Trump took office has fallen by nearly 50% compared with the same 2-month period 1 year ago. scim.ag/42dCJjc

NSF has awarded almost 50% fewer grants since Trump took office

The reasons aren’t clear—and the agency’s director claims the president’s policies haven’t slowed grant awards

Congress has just released a list of federal DOI offices to be closed under the ongoing massacre of our natural resource agencies -- it's extensive and includes many important NPS, BLM, USGS and USFWS facilities across the country. Truly horrific. democrats-naturalresources.house.gov/imo/media/do...
