This week, Preston catches up with Steven Bardin, who appeared as a guest in Episode 261 a little over a year ago. They catch up on what has happened since that previous episode, including the launch of Steven's Reel Biology podcast. They also spend a lot of time taking a deep dive and previewing the upcoming 2025 Black Bass Symposium that will be held in conjunction with the AFS meeting in San Antonio, Texas. We hope that you enjoy this episode!

On this weeks episode Brendan chats with Dr. Meagan Kindree about her work on the interactions between the invasive Round Goby and the native White Sucker in the tributaries of the Great Lakes, as well as how the changing thermal regimes brought on by climate change may impact both species. Dr. Kindree discusses how they came about studying the impacts of Round Goby on juvenile White Sucker, what the experiments on thermal tolerances of both species reveal, and how all hope is not lost for the White Sucker!
