I also got the chance to represent the GLEON Student Association through an oral presentation about our initiatives, and through conversations with other aquatic sciences student and ECR groups about ways we can collaborate and pursue joint initiatives.

Had such a great time at the #ASLOSIL26 meeting a few weeks ago in Montreal! 😊 🌊 Always so fun reconnecting with collaborators and friends and meeting lots of new people. I gave a talk on my graduate research and co-chaired a session for the first time!

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! 🌊

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

If you conduct mesocosm-based research, consider submitting an abstract to our session SS082 “Mesocosm-based approaches for tackling grand challenges in aquatic ecosystems” at the upcoming #ASLOSIL26 Joint Meeting in Montreal! Contributions from students and other ECRs are especially encouraged. 🌊

Calling all #Chaoborus people! Can anyone help me confirm that this is Chaoborus flavicans? Samples collected from ponds in France. I have more photos as well if that would help!

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...

We found differences between pelagic and littoral habitats in terms of zooplankton community composition and diversity, and a wide diversity of vertical and horizontal migration behaviors across crustacean and rotifer genera.

We sampled various sub-habitats within 16 experimental ponds at the CEREEP-ECOTRON Île de France PLANAQUA Experimental Lake Platform day and night to assess zooplankton communities and migration behaviors.

In this study, we investigated daily vertical and horizontal migration behaviors of crustacean zooplankton and rotifers in shallow experimental ponds, and how these behaviors and the communities themselves responded to differences in planktivory and dissolved oxygen concentrations across ponds.

My first first-author paper is officially published! 🎉🎉 This was a team effort and could not have been possible without my wonderful coauthors! The article can be accessed at this link: rdcu.be/d20BA and it will be part of Hydrobiologia's upcoming Special Issue "Zooplankton Under Multiple Stressors"

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 🥹
