Lake Mendota. November 2, 2022. No wind. Clear water. Almost 50 Fahrenheit at 8 am. Crazy. Also beautiful.

"“Within the first few hours, I already looked at the lake differently. ‘Limnology’ is a word that needs to be known.” - Anna Mueller - CFL #SciComm Intern It's #DayOfTheBadger - help us get even more students like Anna out on our waters! https://t.co/c7llqnzpwk

HUGE Congrats to our grad student Danny! Thanks to the Japanese Society of Limnology for recognizing his most excellent paper! @SIL_limnology @Lake_sIchiro
It’s an honor to receive the Excellent Paper Award from the Japanese Society of Limnology for my first lead-authored paper! I did this work as part of my MS on the relationships (or lack thereof) between rusty crayfish and water clarity in Wisconsin lakes

Here's to the Wisconsin Idea! If you don't know what that is, show up on the UW union terrace at Lake Mendota on Aug. 31 or tune in
Holy smokes! Come see comedian @CharlieBerens in conversation with author @danpatrickegan on Aug. 31 from 5:00-6:30pm at the Memorial Union! They'll be discussing #AlgalBlooms and #phosphorus with UW-Madison experts. https://t.co/JqFHnm1F7L

Out today in @Nature - rivers and streams are major contributors to global methane emissions. Emily Stanley & a team of international researchers mapped out where & why. https://t.co/fmJouW8eTM

Just discovered this in the basement of Hasler Lab. Anyone want a break from this #heatwave? Cause we’ll totally switch it back!

A great and much needed guide, compiled by friends of the LTER. Check it out!
New resource alert - we just released "Field safety! an e-zine by and for trans and queer scientists". Includes resources and advice for queer field safety based on first-hand experiences of TGnC Field Alliance members! #QueerinSTEM #Ecology #DEI

Encouraging news for US lakes. New study finds if we hold steady or decrease road salt use, chloride levels in many lakes could stabilize below @EPA thresholds. @aslo_org (Limnology & Oceanography Letters) @CT_Solomon @hildug @WDHintz @joneslabND

While much research has focused on the striking differences in biodiversity between tropical and temperate regions, another, equally dramatic, pattern has gone largely unstudied: the differences in...

Had a blast hosting Grandparents University yesterday, but strong winds forced an early return to port (& all the grandparents to shift to the back of the boat!) Here’s hoping for smooth sailing today! @WisAlumni @UWMadison

Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) is vital for many of the projects conducted on station. Head over to the @WiscLimnology blog to learn about what the LTER field crew has been up to this summer! https://t.co/Vzxpm9lRx2

Our new study examines the transfer of microplastics in freshwater communities. In lab expts, @G_DAvignon tested how trophic & nontrophic interactions of co-occurring benthic animals (round goby, quagga mussel, amphipod) affect their uptake of microbeads: https://t.co/FD5YAksc0M

Great to see a Canadian lake used to mark the start of the Anthropocene! Meromictic lakes are rare and fascinating! @SIL_limnology @aslo_org @IAGLR @scas_scsa
