We have been spending the last month scouting Minnesota lakes to sample for our #MAISRC funded project to investigate the impact of invasive Chinese Mystery Snails on littoral foodwebs. As a native Minnesotan who returned 2 yrs ago, it has been a pleasure to explore just a fraction of our 14k lakes!

Spent a couple of days in the lovely peatlands of northern Minnesota installing and maintaining equipment to measure gas fluxes.

Superior National Forest seasonal ponds are drying quickly! We are down to 2/9 of or study sites with water yet. We did however sample some of these lovely Dytiscidae larvae from one pond that will likely be gone tomorrow.

Fun and quick trip to visit the University of Minnesota’s Saint Anthony Falls Lab for their open house - all kinds of flumes and even a wind tunnel! So cool and inspiring!

I have officially relocated to Duluth, MN where I will be a research associate at the Natural Resources Research Institute (NRRI) in a couple of weeks. So thankful for my colleagues and students at #SHSU - it has been bittersweet to leave lovely people & so exciting be back in MN!

So wonderful to have my eldest niece Emma visit me for spring break. Finally checking out the huge statue of Sam Houston just outside of town. Better late than never.
