We are doing a new thing! Come join our new EREN project, INVURTS, and teach your students ecological skills while helping us study how differences in temperature variability affect stream macroinvertebrate diversity! Please boost to your biology/environmental science networks! #ERENNetwork #StreamEcology #NEON #Macroinvertebrates #BiologyEducation #EnvironmentalEducation

Maybe too niche but... I'm looking for book recommendations by Native authors on water rights/issues in the Eastern US. Authors or book recommendations appreciated.
Please boost.

#firsttoot Hi everyone. I am currently an MS student in the Department of Biological Sciences at Towson University. I study #streamecology, #benthicecology, and #popandcomecology. I also have a big-time interest in #statistics and #programming languages.

I have a pet mantis named Lotus and I love hiking, working out, and playing guitar.

#introduction I am urban stream ecologist teaching biology and environmental science at the most diverse college in the Southeastern US here in suburban Atlanta. My current research primarily focuses on the benefits of beavers to Atlanta ecosystems. #UrbanEcology #StreamEcology #Atlanta #BeaverBeliever #ScienceEducation
