Tamara helped run this year's Insect Adventures event at Orono Public Library hosted by the Friends of Edith Patch. Tamara has been part of this great event since 2011. Great fun was had by all!
Chase successfully defended his thesis "Hydrology and aquatic invertebrate communities of riverine rock pools: effects of seasonality and the Penobscot River". Congratulations to him! You can download and read Chase's thesis here
Hamish took part in the annual Cabin Fever Reliever event run by the Penobscot Fly Fishers group at the Brewer Auditorium, where he ran interactive exhibits for families and children and spoke about trout and aquatic macroinvertebrates. He also shared work from members of the Greig lab on freshwater ecology. Great fun was had by all!
Hamish gave a talk entitled "Integrating food-web processes into salmon restoration: Examples from the top and the bottom of freshwater food webs" at the Atlantic Salmon Recovery Meeting (Downeast Focus) at the University of Maine at Machias.
Jack successfully defended his thesis "The forgotten cousin in freshwater community ecology: tidal freshwater wetlands". Congratulations to him! You can download and read Jack's thesis here

Nicki published a blog article on the Maine Sea Grant website on her work that uses video cameras to observe how salmon respond to changing environmental conditions. You can read the article here Chase was awarded a highly competitive fellowship from UMaine's Center for Undergraduate Research (CUGR) for his upcoming work on the rock pool communities of the Penobscot River. Congratulations to him!
