Alan has recently learned that he is the recipient of one of the highest honors available to faculty at Auburn University – The Gerald and Emily Leischuck Endowed Presidential Awards for Excellence in Teaching – which recognizes faculty who are effective teachers, advisors, and mentors. The College of Agriculture recently advertised the award, too. Cash was able to join me for a fancy lunch with Dr. Leischuck, AU President Chris Roberts, AU Provost Vini Nathan, and past recipients of the award. Fun event!

Alan has passed the FAA Part 107 test to finally get his hands on the controls of the lab’s drones. This is something Alan has aspired to do for years. The test wasn’t too hard after reading this guide. Get your license today.

Jinhai’s class project has been published in Animal Nutrition! Congratulations, Jinhai. This is the 51st publication from my Meta-analysis class. Also, this is our fastest class project (May 2022) to publication (September 2022). Incredible!

Kevin Wang and I have gotten a new internal grant to determine how bioavailable “dissolved” phosphorus in aquaculture ponds really is. We think we might be over-estimating the actual amount of orthophosphate that is available for phytoplankton by using ~1um glass-fiber filters when processing samples.

I just got back from a nice trip to Qui Nhon, Vietnam, to present some of the lab’s research on algal blooms as part of a workshop on environmental pollution. This was my first long distance trip since covid and glad to have had the opportunity to meet scientists from around the world. Eating awesome Vietnamese food was a bonus. The beautiful dogs and cats were spectacular.

Matt, Ansley (Kevin Wang’s lab), and I made a quick run to beautiful Fayetteville, Arkansas, to share our research at the Arkansas Water Resources and Watersheds Conference organized by Brian Haggard. We had a wonderful time. The best part of the trip was seeing my past student, Brie Olsen, who is running Arkansas’ Harmful Algal Bloom program.
