Solomon R. David - GarLab

Dr. Solomon David is an aquatic ecologist and assistant professor (Nicholls State University) interested in fish biodiversity, conservation, and science communication. As principal investigator at GarLab, his current research focuses on the ecology of ancient fishes (e.g. gars and bowfins), and how those species can help us better understand and conserve aquatic ecosystems. Additional projects involve conservation of Great Lakes migratory fishes and peripheral populations of species. He also communicates science through traditional and social media to raise awareness of the value of aquatic ecosystems and freshwater biodiversity.
