Thinking of attending #ASLO27 in San Juan? 🇵🇷 Consider submitting to our session on aquatic plankton community and functional diversity! See attached for description and reach out if you have any questions. #FunctionalDiversity #TimeSeries #PlanktonEcology @aslo.org

Just learned of the esGLEON Freshwater Future Fellows, an excellent group of researchers who are supported to attend the #GLEON2026 meeting! What a great program! @gleonetwork.bsky.social Freshwater Future Fellows: gleon.org/meet-the-esg... esGLEON: www.ceab.csic.es/en/research/...

Our dataset was featured on the USGS Water Mission's water new page! Check it out! www.usgs.gov/mission-area...

New study synthesises zooplankton data from 311 lakes in 37 countries! A great resource for freshwater ecology! See: aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Great leadership Steph Figary, @rmpilla.bsky.social, @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social & @drplanktonguy.bsky.social! 🧪

Zooplankton International Geospatial dataset just pusblished! This impressive achievement was made possible through the hard work Steph, @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social, @rmpilla.bsky.social, & @drplanktonguy.bsky.social Figary et al. 2026. L&O letters. aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Pleased to announce publication of our collaborative #GLEON data paper in Limnology and Oceanography Letters. The Zooplankton International Geospatial dataset has 🦐 zoop+ data on 311 lakes. Huge effort over 7 years from 143 authors at 101 institutions in 37 countries. 🎉 dx.doi.org/10.1002/lol2...

Registration is open for #HackingLimno & #DSOS26 10-14 August!! This FREE, VIRTUAL event will host 3 workshops and 20 presentations in all things #datascience #openscience #limnology #ecology #hydrology #oceanography. aquaticdatasciopensci.github.io/registration/

Very excited to be in Montreal for the #ASLOSIL26 meeting this week! I will be giving a talk on Thursday in SS082 on zooplankton mediated C fluxes, and co-presenting a talk in EP010 on Wednesday about GLEON Student Association initiatives. Looking forward to an exciting week! 🌊

I am recruiting graduate students to start in fall 2027! Several potential projects, generally focused on analyzing and forecasting changes in aquatic carbon cycling. #ASLOSIL26 I am around all week—please reach out if you would like to find a time to chat! abbylewis.github.io/join_the_lab...

Thanks so much for the feature, @ciglrum.bsky.social! 😊🌊

Gorgeous views of Lake Champlain’s ice cover from my flight yesterday! Lake Champlain is on track to completely freeze over for the first time since 2019 🌊❄️ @wcax.com

We are a member of FreshwaterH2O of @cu-esiil.bsky.social. We made the projects forward through team building, working together, and many discussions. We sometimes create dataset, analyze data, discuss the results, go hiking, and grab chocolate. This week was so productive!

There are a few days left to register for the 2025 GLEON Virtual All-Hands’ Meeting! Join us for exciting plenaries, working groups, workshops, a student poster session, and more! See gleon.org/event/gleon-... for more information 🌊🌏 @gleonetwork.bsky.social

The Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) Student Association is hosting an exciting virtual workshop on grant writing in a few weeks - see flyer for more information and register here! forms.gle/tbjJALRfkoeF... 📝 @gleonetwork.bsky.social

@raviranjan.bsky.social & I are teaching a free online workshop with on experimental design for environmental scientists on the 23rd. We'll focus on using simulations to evaluate how well different experimental designs help achieve your goals. Please sign up & share! forms.gle/MZTxeQs4UpMr...

A discarded toy on a Lake Champlain beach may take a different form one day: millions of microplastic bits, says @uvmvermont.bsky.social prof. @annejefferson.bsky.social. Learn about what Jefferson and colleagues are finding as they scour Lake Champlain for microplastic sources: go.uvm.edu/xen2p

Information provided by GLOS supports the regional marine economy, improves forecasts, and supports decision-making and nearshore safety for countless stakeholders. Cutting or reducing funding would have wide-ranging impacts on Great Lakes communities’ economies and safety.

Today is the big day! Happy #EarthDay from NOAA! Check out noaa.gov/Earthday, & visit noaa.gov any time for the latest Earth science news, scientific research discoveries & ways you can get involved to help our home planet.

I brought two reporters from the local paper along on a buoy deployment cruise last week. Here's a piece from this weekend in our local paper about the impact of federal funding cuts on Great Lakes science and safety: www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/local/p...

Some rotifers that I photographed from our mesocosm samples made it on the cover of the Hydrobiologia special issue (Zooplankton under Multiple Stressors) that our article is contained in! ✨ Check out the special issue here: link.springer.com/journal/1075...

Amazing turnout for yesterday’s Stand Up for Science march in Burlington, Vermont! 💙🔬🧪 #standupforscience #sciencesaveslives

#Standupforscience Burlington Vermont! 280 people turned out for round 1 with more to come!

We have finalized last-minute plans for a Stand Up for Science march in Burlington, Vermont: please help spread the word!! #StandUpForScience2025

"What has NOAA ever done for me in #GreatLakes?" NOAA employees in the region help communities become better prepared for challenges like severe weather, coastal erosion, harmful algal blooms, and invasive species www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n6y...

As usual the #GLEON all-hands meeting never disappoints! Such a great week discussing #science and having fun in a stunning location! Leaving the hearth at Lake Toba! @gleonetwork.bsky.social

Best day ever!!! Ran into @sanders.senate.gov in the airport security line in Burlington. Thank you for all the work you do, Bernie! 😊😊

Beautiful view of Lake Champlain, Burlington, and snowy Mount Mansfield from my airplane window yesterday! ❄️🤍

New paper with our GLEON collegues, @gleonetwork.bsky.social led by @isabellaoleksy.bsky.social Controls on Lake Pelagic Primary Productivity: Formalizing the Nutrient‐Color Paradigm 😀💚💦🌍

Received the cutest crocheted copepod at our lab’s white elephant gift exchange! Hand-made by one of our talented technicians. Isn’t it so cute 🥹

Do any freshwater plankton people out there know what this is? Sent to me by the New Hampshire DES, turning up this year for the first time in their 80 um net tows.
