How is it that time of year already??? Seems crazy, but this tumultuous year is drawing to a close and tonight the CFL celebrates with our annual Holiday Party. While Phantom Midge is dormant again this year, we’ll always have the 2013 Christmas Party. (With apologies to Daft Punk). Happy Fish Fry Day!
Sorry to dig up old bog posts twice in a row, but this little fish popped up on our “Fishes of Wisconsin” Challenge and, well, here we are again – at the end of a long work week and looking forward to all things fried on Wisconsin menus. That’s right, it’s the day of our …
We thought we’d dig through the archives to see what we were up to in previous Novembers. Enjoy this look at “Limno in the Lab” from four years ago! Originally posted 11/13/12 – After the spring and summer field seasons, it’s time to return to the lab to work up all the specimens collected in …
Happy Fish Fry Day! Once again fish is on the menu here in Wisconsin and on our mind at the CFL blog. We’ve been working our way through the 13-foot-long “Fishes of Wisconsin” poster to bring you interesting morsels of information for every species of fishes found in Wisconsin. Today’s spooky story is brought to …
We recently stumbled across this old video of Art Hasler (in an amazing coat/hat ensemble, we might add) discussing the “congregation” of professors and students at the UW-Madison who work on Lake Mendota “trying to unfathom the unknowns of the aquatic community.” We hope you enjoy it as much as we did! The video was …
Happy Fish Fry Day, the weekly holiday where our fair state (always) puts fried fishes on the menu and we here at the CFL (sometimes) put fishes on the blog. Summer’s drawing to a close and it’s time to resume our “Fishes of Wisconsin” challenge. Without further ado, I give you – the bullhead minnow. …
June 24th dawned warm and clear and it was obvious that we’d picked a beautiful day to open our doors to the public. By the time we wrapped things up at 6pm, nearly 300 people had passed through Hasler Lab and learned a little bit about their lakes and the work we do. We hope …
Bordered by Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, Lake Victoria is the world’s largest tropical freshwater lake and boasts one of the largest freshwater fisheries in the world. 30 million people live around its shores. It is an important source of food, water, industry and recreation but, over the last couple of decades, water quality has greatly …
Field Samples is a Q&A with presenters at our weekly Wednesday seminar. Today one of the CFL’s newest grad students, Martin Perales, will talk about his summer project exploring the impacts of lake development on fish populations. Who are you, where are you from, and how did you get here? I’m Martin Perales and I dragged …
We here at the Center for Limnology are, of course big fans of Art Hasler. The man not only got the building we call home built in the first place, he also help bring limnology at UW-Madison into modern scientific times. That’s why it was so cool when Fritz, Art’s son, reached out to us and …
