I had a great time at the Ecological Society of America conference in Portland, Oregon, in August! It was fun to see a lot of old friends, make some new connections, and hear about a lot of great science. I gave a talk titled “Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Ecosystem Fluxes and Biodiversity in Stream Catchments”, which I am humbled to say was named the Best Student Talk by the ESA Aquatic Ecology Section – thanks to everyone for coming to my talk! I’m currently working on the manuscript based on that same research, so stay tuned.
