A satisfying outcome of being a scientist is when an organically developed collaborative project comes to fruition, and an early career researcher seizes an opportunity to publish new findings. This is the case for Anthony Arsenault who found that across the Great Lakes, ice stores different levels of dissolved organic matter, which can be very important to microbes during melt to jump-start spring production.
