This week's episode showcases the result of when two dedicated fisheries biologists and passionate anglers come together to record a podcast. Conrad had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Erin Wilson, an avid multispecies angler and fisheries biologist. Erin has leveraged her passion and skills in her career, discussing how instrumental being an angler has been for her success in the fisheries world. She shared insights from her remarkable master's studies, highlighting her first chapter on muskie movement ecology, and the second chapter focused on the use of biologgers. Additionally, she touched on the power of communication and the valuable lessons learned from engaging with expert knowledge holders in her field. Erin also emphasized the significance of current technologies and her concerns in the fishing world as we move forward. We hope you learn just as much from this conversation as Conrad did this week. Takeaway: Follow what you want to do in life, what you're good at, and what you're passionate about, and don't let anyone deter you along the way.    #muskie #muskellung #acoustictelemetry #movementecology #fisheriesbiology #biologgers #muskiefishing #sciencecommunication “Get in touch with us!
