Nate Tomczyk successfully defends his MS thesis!
Nate did a great job yesterday defending his thesis examining metal pollution and the application of biotic ligand models! He leaves for a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail next week. Good luck Nate!

Who’s Peeing in the Global Pool? Compiling more than 10,000 lines of data on the waste products of aquatic animals, from lake trout to pond insects to ocean shellfish, was more time-consuming than the ecologist Michael Vanni expected. But he didn’t mind. “I love data on fish pee,” he says. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/04/fish-pee/522684/
The Capps Lab is excited to welcome Reed Solly and Denzell Cross who will be joining us in the fall!

Project Description: https://daphnia.ecology.uga.edu/reu/?p=1068 Application Information: https://daphnia.ecology.uga.edu/reu/?page_id=11 Globally, failing water infrastructure has been linked to declining water quality and increased exposure to contaminants, and potentially harmful bacteria infections including, but not limited to Escherichia coli. To assess temporal and spatial changes in the chemical and bacterial composition of water associated with failing water infrastructure in tributaries of the […]
The Population Biology of Infectious Diseases REU Site is a nine-week, NSF-funded, experiential learning program at the University of Georgia to train undergraduates in scientific methods at the intersections of quantitative and experimental studies in infectious disease biology. Participating students’ main activity will be research in one or more of the following areas: bioinformatics, ecology, […]
The Symposium on Urbanization and Stream Ecology is a meeting of stream ecologists held approximately every four-five years aiming to further the scientific study of stream ecosystems in urban landscapes. The fourth symposium will be held at Haw River State Park, Browns Summit, NC on May 31-June 3, 2017 (so please SAVE THE DATE!). The theme […]
