Cultivating Connections at EFAO 2023

Connecting with community and cultivating connections is essential to our science. HHL has centered local farming perspectives through our Farm Advisory Board (FAB) and broader Farm + Freshwater Ecology Research Network (FERN) as we believe that conversations lead to impactful collaborations, which we have formalized into HHL’s knowledge co-production process. That's why we are extending a warm invitation to all those attending EFAO 2023 to come join us at our booth and connect! We are committed to creating a space where we can share ideas, experiences, and connections.

HHL Celebrates Pride!

Diversity is necessary for progress, this is why we celebrate Pride.

HHL wishes you all a happy Pride month! We celebrate Pride to bring awareness to the discrimination that 2SLGBTQ+ face in their daily lives, especially in the STEM fields, but it is also to celebrate 2SLGBTQ+ individuals achievements in STEM and other fields.

Alfred Otieno Achieng Perspectives

Streams and rivers are globally threatened ecosystems because of increasing levels of exploitation and habitat degradation. Human activities, like urbanization and increased agricultural production, have caused changes in how a lotic system flows and redistributes water so the needs of each individual are no longer met. Dr. Alfred Achieng et al. study these effects in Lake Victoria.

Perspectives: International Women’s Day 2021

This year I have been reflecting on what it means to be a ‘woman in science’. I still think about the fact that even in 2021, simply being a woman in science is not the norm in many disciplines and therefore worth remarking on and celebrating.
