Abstract

Thirteen years ago, as a senior in college, I barely knew what research was. Although I spent my senior year conducting fieldwork and writing 50 pages about Brown Trout Salmo trutta population dynamics in southeast Minnesota streams, the essence of research eluded me. It was not until graduate school that things clicked. A decade ago, I was several months away from completing my M.S. thesis on the effects of a large flood on aquatic resources in the Missouri River. Research was a newfound passion. My M.S. project changed my perspective, opening my eyes to the delights and difficulties of science. I attended the 2014 American Fisheries Society (AFS) meeting determined to talk to as many potential Ph.D. advisors as possible.
