- It takes patience to have a conversation about definitions as a collaboration begins... but it is important! "Trophic state" in lakes is one of those concepts! It really makes a difference which definition we use... @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

- On July 9, 1976, the R/V John Le Conte was christened as the new Research Vessel for UC Davis on Tahoe! Four generations have relied on the JLC - my undergrad advisor Stan Loeb did his PhD working with Charles Goldman aboard the JLC, and I work aboard the JLC with my students now!

- Great introductory video that reminds us what a long journey water makes around our planet through rain and snow, glaciers, rivers, lakes, wetlands, or even a few moments in puddles before going underground or back to the atmosphere.
