Apologies for the lag time between posts this week. I was going strong, but then the end of the semester reared its ugly head. I’ll likely be slow getting stuff up in the next week or so as I deal with the typical PhD end-of-semester…
Last weekend I attended the 26th Annual Meeting of the Tidewater Chapter of the American Fisheries Society, better known as AFS Tidewater or just plain Tidewater.

I’ve reached that point where I’m starting to apologize in each post for how long its been since the previous post. Well, no more apologies. I’ve been buried in both starting the PhD and finishing the Masters, and unfortunately the free time to post has…
Apologies for the incredibly slowed pace of posting here. Between travel, moving into a new apartment, and an academic week from hell I’ve been sadly neglecting Ya Like Dags? for a couple weeks. I’m coming out of the busy times now, so keep checking in…
