CUTTING THE TELSON THREAD: PERSPECTIVE OF A NOVICE ASTACOLOGIST
Crayfish are iconic animals that provide a wealth of ecological and economic services throughout the world. Unfortunately, as a result of multiple ecological stressors, crayfish have become one of the most imperiled groups of organisms in freshwaters ecosystems. There remain numerous gaps in the scientific understanding of crayfish that need to be filled in order to implement and hone conservation efforts, and the necessity to do so is becoming increasingly pressing. In this talk, I will reflect on my growth as a novice astacologist and provide insight into the rewards and challenges that accompany a career in astacology. Amongst other topics, I will touch on using public outreach to increase awareness of crayfish conservation, recruiting students and helping them succeed in graduate school, as well as possible job outcomes of astacologists. My hope is that this talk will be informative to students and seasoned astacologists alike, and will stimulate a discussion on the strategies and tactics that may facilitate the next wave of astacologists.
