153 – Flathead Catfish in the Cape Fear River with Claire Pelletier

This week Hannah catches up with Claire Pelletier, a master's candidate in the Scharf Lab at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, about her research on non-native flathead catfish diet, movement, and reproduction in the Cape Fear River. Hannah and Claire discuss her past research on black sea bass blood gas levels post-capture, their mutual appreciation for mummichog, and more.

Main Point: Be open to new opportunities and don't be afraid to ask for help!
