I feel incredibly honored by Freshwater Science! This society has been like a home since I was a graduate student and I can’t wait for my summer reunion to see what cool science new and old friends are up to!

Today The Crimson White is on a #Roll , so to speak, as it published several great environmental pieces including this one quoting two #Waterkeepers -- Hurricane Creekkeeper John Wathen and John Kinney of BWRiverkeeper -- about #Tuscaloosa 's #sewage spills: thecrimsonwhite.com/114393/top-sto…

The last part of my dissertation is published! #freshwatermussels affect macroinverts in certain contexts, with larger effects at smaller spatial scales. Losses of 🦪 changes the *facilitation landscape* in streams.

Amblema elliottii is a freshwater mussel in the family Unionidae only found in Alabama. The genus Amblema was once in the Black Warrior, but has not been seen alive for decades. Sequencing the genome of Amblema elliottii will aid its conservation. Vote: moty2024.senckenberg.science/en/

Happy World Water Day everyone! Thank you to Alabama Water Institute for hosting a fun celebration The University of Alabama with Big AL 🐘! Cahaba Riverkeeper BWRiverkeeper UA Dept. of BSC

Excited to visit Odum School of Ecology in Athens next week!

Check out our new paper in Ecology Letters, where we synthesize all the data we could find across the world on allochthony ... what portion of an organisms diet is derived from another ecosystem ... in studies of stream and riparian food webs.

Y’all — there’s a great USGS Cooperative Research Unit/faculty position available based at Mississippi State University.

This is an excellent position working alongside some wonderful colleagues & a supportive cast of agencies & organizations.

New paper out leveraging several long-term freshwater mussel datasets from 7 rivers in the USA led by Dr. Garrett Hopper!

Last December, a Duke University Magazine article explored the 'uncertain future' of the Duke Herbarium. dukemag.duke.edu/stories/nowher…

The scientific community is now learning that Duke has decided that this facility will be closed. This is bad, and here's why.
