Biologists expect a record number of pink salmon to return to Puget Sound and Washington rivers and streams this year. And while that may seem like a good signal about salmon habitat, it's also raising some concerns. Matt Bogaard is a specialist in chum, pink and sockeye salmon species with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. He spoke to KUOW’s Kim Malcolm about what a big run of pinks means for our region.

I was glad to see Harvard take a stand against the Trump administration, and am now very happy to see so many colleges and universities sign on to this statement about academic freedom:

https://www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-call-for-constructive-engagement

In particular, I'm happy to see several institutions I've worked for or attended there: the University of Wisconsin -- Madison; the University of Puget Sound, and my upcoming Macalester College.

(Hey, University of Minnesota, my PhD institution: you should sign too!)
