LIMNOLOGY LUMINARY: BOB STERNER'S TRAILBLAZING WORK AND MENTORSHIP IN AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS

Bob Sterner has had a significant impact on the field of limnology. His contributions in the area of stoichiometry have been critical to advancing our understanding of organismal interactions. Furthermore, his recent work on cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Superior has led to important science and management implications for the largest freshwater lake in the world. In addition to these admirable contributions to our understanding of aquatic ecosystems, Bob has also been an impactful teacher and adviser during his career. This talk will highlight insights and wisdom that Bob has passed down and celebrate his role as a mentor in addition to his impressive career as a limnologist.
