Hopefully no landslides coming your way

Thanks, Diego - that means a lot!

Overall, I’m feeling very celebrated - When outcomes were announced two weeks ago, I came home to a wonderful show of celebration by little family 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 . And thank you to all those that have reached out, near and far. Feeling very grateful after a big year. More to come. 3/3

This work builds on from years of targeted research, new findings, collaborations, and challenges navigating the pathway of a first-in-family, researcher and mother in STEM. My interest in aquatic research started when I was quite young and it’s been a challenging journey to stay in academia. 2/3

Congrats! About ditch management for emissions?

Amazing work, Laura! Putting this on my to-read list

Never heard of BIOGEOMON? The joint ASLO-SIL would be a big one and I've been eyeing that one for a while...

I have my undergrad students in water science make a poster of their water quality data they collect over the trimester. My assessment instructions are pretty simple, but am happy to share it, along with some great poster examples if you like?

The same student also captured an intriguing metallic layer that formed on one of the acidified ponds just one week into the experiment. I suspect this was organic oils from the decomposition of organic matter as supported by the low DO reading at the time. How cool is that?!

💠 Prolonged deoxygenation occurs within days following acidification
💠 Phosphate is mobilized, which occurs more gradually over the course of the experiment (4 weeks)
Some of these results are shown here in a snapshot from one student's poster presentation.
3/n

Several students chose acidification as their pollution tool and the response in their separate mini ponds was consistent across the cohort:
💠 Upon a single acidification event, pH drops but recovers back to control levels
💠 Conductivity increases
