Tune in to hear about triploid and single-sex aquaculture fish populations, how we can genetically safeguard against fish farm escapees, the ongoing concerns around aquatic invasive in New Brunswick, and the notion of animal sentience which connects to animal ethics.
Remember: we must all make an effort to understand the science around us.

This week, Elise (IG: @elise_the_mermaid) sits down with her good friend Joey Nolan (IG: @_joeynolan), a Master's student at the University of Georgia Athens. They cover all things sturgeon, the challenges of doing research during COVID, and the power of pivoting as they discuss Joey's less-than-linear road to graduate school.
Main takeaway: Be open to unexpected opportunities!

This week Kadie interviews the hosts of the popular Sharkpedia podcast, Meghan Holst and Amani Webber-Schultz.
Meghan is a third-year PhD student at UC Davis in the Graduate Group of Ecology where she is pursuing a PhD in ecology studying the broadnose sevengill shark in San Francisco Bay. Meghan is equally passionate about conservation science as she is about social justice and science communication work. In 2021, Meghan co-founded the 501(c)3 non-profit, Minorities In Aquarium & Zoo Science (MIAZS), and now maintains an executive directorship pursuing the mission to advance aquarium and zoo science by diversifying the professionals and their perspectives within it.
Amani is a PhD student at the New Jersey Institute of Technology studying shark functional morphology and swimming kinematics. She is a co-founder and the Chief Financial Officer for the 501(c)3 non-profit Minorities in Shark Sciences, which is dedicated to fundraising for and creating a welcoming space for gender minorities of color in shark sciences. Outside of school, Amani also works as a research assistant at the Field School in Miami where she assists with the Intro to Shark Research Skills course.
Meghan and Amani co-host a science podcast, Sharkpedia, where the primary authors of elasmobranch research are interviewed to communicate their science and strategies to the general public.
Listen in to hear about where Amani and Meghan's love of sharks began, their perspectives on running non-profits, and some of the upcoming episodes they have planned for the Sharkpedia Podcast!
Main point(s): Sharks are important, we should appreciate them more than we fear them & science doesn't need to be a competition.
You can follow Sharkpedia on Instagram @SharkpediaPod, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you regularly listen to podcasts! You can reach Meghan and Amani on various social media platforms @megholst and @curly_biologist, respectively.
Find out more about MISS and MIAZS from their websites, misselasmo.org and miazs.org.

This week Kadie laughs and cries through this interview with Katie Furey, a good friend and fellow graduate student in the Ecology Department at Montana State University. In this episode, we chat about Katie's career path, her current research investigating the feeding ecology and trophic relationships of salmonids in Georgetown Lake, MT, as well as her experience with rheumatoid arthritis, anxiety, and ADHD. While this episode is on the longer side and contains more giggles (and tears) than average, we cover some really crucial topics about the representation of chronic illness and disabilities in fisheries and the importance of health insurance for graduate students.
Main point: Prioritize finding joy, silliness, and Pacific spiny lumpsucker moments in your life! (And go to therapy if you can afford it!)
Find the famed 2Fish2Fureyous video here.
You can get in touch with Katie on Instagram @fureyous or via email at kaitlyn.furey@student.montana.edu

This week Kadie chats with Jenna Ruoss, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Hailing from Pennsylvania, Jenna grew up hiking, kayaking, looking for critters in streams, and playing outside in the woods in her backyard. Throughout this episode, we chat about how her love of parasites which developed during her undergraduate degree led her to a career in fisheries and her current work studying the endangered Pallid Sturgeon in the lower Platte River, Nebraska.
Main point: Make sure you're happy.
If you'd like to get ahold of Jenna, you can find her on Twitter at @jpruoss.
