#2026SFS opened last night with a thoughtful plenary from this year's @freshwaterscience.bsky.social Award of Excellence winner, Dr. Jen Tank! Dr. John Jackson's acceptance of his Environmental Stewardship Award was great too. Strong start to this week's meeting / freshwater reunion! #SFS2026

Dr. Jennifer Tank starting her award of excellence plenary talk with her title slide displayed above her. The title of her talk was "I thought I was studying streams -- tools, challenges, platforms, and what I really learned" and there is a cartoon of a tree with "The Tank Lab" written on the trunk and photos of her mentors at the roots of the tree.
