Summer is finally here! Lots to do. We have gotten some good news about some manuscripts that were in review. First, Keven’s meta-analysis class project (2025 class) was just published in Footwear Science. Nice job, Keven. This is the 71st paper from my class. And, Matt’s field experiment that examined how eutrophication influences the transcriptomic effects in Microcystis was just published in Journal of Phycology. Good work, Matt.

2026 is starting off well! Our paper showing that diuron made a cyanobacterial bloom worse was just accepted!
