Contributed by Scott George, Posted 3/13/24: Congratulations to Doug Carlson for receiving the inaugural, ‘Fintastic’ Science Blog Contribution Award at the NYCAFS 2024 annual meeting. Doug has been a strong supporter of the Science Blog since its inception in 2015. Going forward, the author of the Science Blog post with the most views in the calendar year will receive the Science Blog Post-of-the-Year Award at the annual meeting.

A well deserved award!

The vision for the blog is to communicate information on new projects, publications, news events, etc. that are relevant to our membership. Topics such as the initiation of a new study, publication of a report, new occurrence of an invasive species, new state record fish, or any other update from your office/organization would make great newsletter material. Submissions from students are highly encouraged. To make a submission simply email 3-6 sentences of text and 1-2 photos/figures to Scott George at [email protected]!
