My name is Lily and I am a PhD student and mentor of the 6th LOREX cohort.

ASLO is pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for the second cohort of the Limnology and Oceanography Research Exchange and Mentoring Experience (LOREX ME) program.

The Ecological Dissertations in the Aquatic Sciences symposium series is designed to: 1. Foster sustained, cross-disciplinary interactions among the top new researchers in ecological oceanography and limnology, to the benefit of both the science and the researchers. 2.

Please join us in congratulating these students on their excellent presentations. We would like to thank the session chairs and volunteer evaluators for sharing their expertise and providing thoughtful feedback on the presentations. This program would not have been possible without your generous support.

by Hunter Rousselle Hej! This is Hunter Rousselle, reporting from downtown Gothenburg, where the temperature never reaches the mid 70’s and the sunlight covers the horizon from 4 am until 10 pm. If you haven’t already figured it out, I am a participating in the LOREX ME program provided by ASLO assisting my mentor Lillian Goerlitz on our project investigating natural alkalinity sources along Sweden’s coast.

The Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) is pleased to announce the selection of Sarah Hasnain and Katherine Gallagher as Raelyn Cole Editorial Fellows. The Raelyn Cole Editorial Fellowship is a unique opportunity for early career aquatic scientists to gain experience in all aspects of scientific publishing, including open-access publishing, peer review, and scientific writing.

By: Kathy Stenehjem My name is Kathy Stenehjem and I am a 4th year PhD student in Dr. Meredith Holgerson’s lab at Cornell University. My research explores how mixing frequency shapes methane and phytoplankton dynamics within small freshwater ponds and lakes. I blearily roll out of bed and silence the alarm that has been singing every 10 minutes for the past half hour. I’ve always found it easiest to rise with the sun, but that is no easy task when the sun remains in the sky 24 hours a day.
