-Still sieving sediments for Mayfly aquariums and one more experiment.
-Revising my methods section for the sterilization experiment and elaborating. Doing this while it is all fresh.

Sarika (last week):
Abstracts for IAGLR 2026 are open! May 25-29, 2026 in Winnipeg, Manitoba!
If you're looking for a specific session to apply for, Cat & myself are part of the chairs for the Open Waters: Learning from the Next Generation of Aquatic Scientists session. This session is not limited to FishCAST members, and we’re inviting submissions from students (including undergraduates), early-career researchers, and practitioners (e.g. community scientists, Indigenous knowledge holders, and non-governmental organizations) working in the aquatic sciences, particularly those who emphasize co-production and inclusivity.
If you're interested, some of the links below may be important to you!
