On May 17th, 2025 I had the pleasure of travelling to Waco, TX to assist Dr. Thad Scott in hooding Isabelle Andersen during her graduation ceremony at Baylor University! Isabelle worked with us to conduct 3+ years of field work involving manipulation of Nitrogen and Phosphorus loads in experimental pond mesocosms located at the University of Mississippi Field Station. She completed a fantastic PhD program and we are looking forward to seeing all the great things she continues to contribute to the field!
