Michelle Jewell, a science communicator in Raleigh, North Carolina, captured this photograph of graduate student Samantha Jordt measuring the health of streams by counting the amount and types of insect egg masses deposited on unembedded rocks. Jordt's M.Sc. studies in the Department of Applied Ecology at North Carolina State University involve assessing the insect biodiversity of restored versus natural streams across North Carolina.
