20 years of microbial sampling, reoccurring seasonal change, and long-term shifts from aquatic species invasions. Thrilled to see this out in @PNASNews 🎉 @quendi @TrexLab @riley_hale8 @JakeDeLake @mcmahonlab @WiscLimnology @UWMadisonCALS @NSF @USLTER pnas.org/eprint/4YR8GPQQIH4P…

Species invasions shift microbial phenology in a two-decade freshwater time series | PNAS

Invasive species impart abrupt changes on ecosystems, but their impacts on microbial communities are often overlooked. We paired a 20 y freshwater ...

Latest from me: Nearly every fish @EPA tested from the Great Lakes and U.S. rivers was tainted with a #PFAS forever chemical used for decades in Scotchgard stain-resistant fabrics, firefighting foam and food packaging manufactured by Minnesota-based 3M. chicagotribune.com/news/envi…

Freshwater fish are significantly more contaminated with toxic forever chemicals than saltwater...

Eating just one freshwater fish a year can dramatically increase the amount of toxic forever chemicals coursing through a person’s blood, according to a new study that reflects more than a half...

(1/3) A strong system will bring a multi-faceted weather event to Wisconsin tomorrow afternoon through Saturday. While our dry conditions will limit flash flooding, heavy rainfall in excess of 2", strong winds, and a potential brief window for a few weak tornadoes exists. #wiwx

Be diligent and check your child's candy this year, just found an invasive silver carp shoved inside a Milky Way. No words.

A new airborne threat - fungi from wildfires - and Indoor filtration with HEPA or Corsi Rosenthal boxes can reduce indoor exposure @CorsIAQ @JimRosenthal4 @kprather88 @ChemDelphine wired.com/story/wildfire-smo…

Wildfire Smoke May Carry Deadly Fungi Long Distances

Pathogens in soil are a danger to firefighters, but smoke may transport spores that cause valley fever and other infections into cities too.
