The lab just returned from a triumphant week in Portland:  Jon and Alex rocked their first-ever talks   and Cayelan is recovering from giving three talks spread out from Monday-Saturday.  Jon and Cayelan spoke in a session on the effects of interactive anthropogenic stressors on water quality and plankton, while Alex presented in the reservoir biogeochemistry session.  Cayelan also presented in a session co-organized with GLEON and NEON colleagues on using high-frequency data as an education tool to teach limnology and quantitative skills to undergraduates.

Back in Blacksburg, the team is getting ready to plunge back into our field season!
