Joe Cutler has been conducting fieldwork in Gabon and studying cryptic mormyrid diversity for seven years, he will share stories from the field and updates on mormyrid science. Dr. Joe Cutler is a freshwater ecologist, conservation biologist and National Geographic Explorer. He has conducted several fish sampling expeditions in central Africa, collecting hundreds of fish species — including dozens new to science. Using this data, coupled with museum records, Cutler provides guidance to central African governments and conservation NGOs on balancing development and freshwater conservation. In 2019, Cutler received his Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Cutler’s stories, writing and photographs have appeared in several of National Geographic’s media outlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT_ Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Shoot! I wanted to see this one live so I could ask questions. Oh well. I'm really thankful for the VODs otherwise I'd be missing them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I missed it live, but watched it yesterday, Dr. Cutler was a very good speaker, I learned quite a bit about the mormyrids. I've never kept them before, but they are definitely fascinating animals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
