SUMMARY:Taxonomic Certification Opportunity in North Carolina
DESCRIPTION:What: Intensive two-week course with an opportunity to take taxonomic certification exams.\n\n\n\nWhen: Session 1 runs from June 21 to July 2\, 2026. Session 2 runs from July 6 to 17\, 2026. Taxonomic Certification Program exams will be offered on July 2 and 17.\n\n\n\nWhere: Highlands Biological Station in Highlands\, North Carolina.\n\n\n\n\nThis immersive\, two-week course provides a comprehensive introduction to the natural history\, evolution\, and taxonomy of the three major aquatic insect orders used in freshwater bioassessment: mayflies (Ephemeroptera)\, stoneflies (Plecoptera)\, and caddisflies (Trichoptera).

SUMMARY:Salt Pollution Water Testing Event in Harrisburg
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Laura Zgleszewski\n\n\n\n\nWhen: Monday\, October 19\, 2026. Press conference at 11 a.m. Water sample testing from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.\n\n\n\nWhere: The Rotunda at the Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex\, N. 6th St. & Reily St.\, Harrisburg\, PA 17120.\n\n\n\nCost: Free. RSVPs are appreciated but not required.\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Now\n\n\n\n\nIs Your Local Stream Getting Salty?\n\n\n\nSalt keeps us safe on icy roads — but it’s also quietly harming waterways. Every winter\, millions of tons of salt are spread on roads\, sidewalks\, and driveways to combat snow and ice. While it’s effective at reducing slippery conditions\, the consequences for freshwater ecosystems\, infrastructure\, and drinking water are profound\, especially as winter salt use has risen dramatically over the past 50 years.  \n\n\n\n\nBut road salt isn’t just a winter issue. It seeps into our groundwater\, making streams salty and harming wildlife year-round. \n\n\n\n\nPhoto: Ad Meskens\, CC BY-SA 3.0\, via Wikimedia Commons\n\n\n\nIf you live in the Harrisburg area and are worried about salt pollution in your local stream\, collect a water sample and bring it to the testing event. Volunteers will test it for chloride and conductivity\, and Stroud Water Research Center scientists will add the data to the interactive salt map at stroudcenter.info/saltmap. \n\n\n\nGet Your Streamwater Tested\n\n\n\n\nDownload and print the salt snapshot sample data sheet. (This is optional\, but will speed up testing at the event.)\n\n\n\nWhile at your sample site\, record the location as precisely as possible by dropping a pin in a mapping app on your phone.\n\n\n\nCollect about two cups of water in a clean container for each sample.\n\n\n\nFill out the data form with your sample information. \n\n\n\nBring your samples and data form to the event for analysis.\n\n\n\n\nRSVPs are appreciated but not required.
