I’m Kamden. I’m a fisheries biologist in Minnesota. I primarily work in fisheries management, including stocking and population monitoring. I also conduct research on population dynamics and trophic ecology, or as I like to call it, #fishpuke!

Have you ever seen a baby gar eating?

This little Spotted Gar is about a week old and has started feeding on zooplankton (in this case brine shrimp/Artemia/ aka "sea monkeys").

Hey! QUICK! Scientists/Science communicators of all kinds.

Have you taken anything you've learned from my incessant yapping about my Philly science engagement work & made your own version? Made your own zine, made your own posters, stickers, events, anything?

I would love to hear about it if so!

Friends, I am redesigning some professional development workshops, and feedback from potential students will help me shape the courses to make sure they're as helpful as possible.

These include:

Hey, you!

Do you know any teachers, librarians, scout troop leaders, or other k-12 educators?

Please send them this picture & link www.skypeascientist.com/sign-up.html

For what Skype a Scientist lacks in advertising budget we make up for in program value.

We're GLOBAL so this applies to all 😘

A purple and red octopus talk to each other on the tin can telephone. Purple octopus says “want to connect your students with real
Scientists?” Then red octopus says “Skype a scientist matches groups with scientists for virtual q&as. It’s free!” And then an orange flapjack octopus says “get a match at skypeascientist.com”

“Fish” can refer to a single individual, or multiple individuals from the same species.

“Fishes” refers to multiple species.

Bloodsucking parasite, but it’s a native fish!

Check out this native lamprey (compared to invasive Sea Lamprey) on a Northern Pike in a Minnesota River.

Parasitic lamprey species attached to hosts, rasp a hole and suck blood (but native species don’t typically cause death). Both fishes released!

I'm compiling a list of resources for grad students in the sciences!

What are some free/cheap online tools for learning a new skill or concept?

The ones I've advised my students to use are ConservationTraining .org, the UNFAO Academy, and DataCamp. What else is out there?

Any tips welcome! 🧪
