Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2022 14:46:16 +0000 Subject: [Sc-aquaponics] Julie Strawser (formerly Julie Moose) update Message-ID: Ohio aquaculture community, Many of you have had the pleasure of spending time over the years with Julie Strawser (formerly Julie Moose) as she worked with the OAA for a number of years in addition to her work at OSU Extension. Unfortunately, Julie has received some bad news. See below for an update from Julie. Please keep her in your thoughts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Good morning, Friday I finally received my diagnosis: cholangiocarcinoma. It is fairly aggressive and unfortunately incurable. I will begin chemo on Wednesday and have it every other week for six months. The hope is that I may be approved for a new immunotherapy infusion that basically puts your immune system into hyper mode to attack the cancer cells. If approved, I will need these infusions every two weeks for the rest of my life. Living with this includes six months of chemo, six months off, six months chemo, etc. My goal is to prove them wrong. Without treatment I have about six months. The average lifespan with treatment is about a year. That is unacceptable to me. I?m seeking a second opinion from the Cleveland Clinic. I?m going to try to work as much as possible, mainly for my mind. However, my personal email address is julestrawser at gmail.com (no ?I? in Julie). My address is 5300 Riverside Dr #435, Columbus OH 43220. Any thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated. Make the most of today! Julie ?Matt [The Ohio State University] Matthew A.

See below for details and registration (free). A recording will be sent if you are unable to make it live. Also, if you missed the first webinar, Basics of Biological Planning: How to Streamline Fish Production at your Farm, you can find the recording on their Youtube channel. DETAILS: April 6, 2022- Product Quality & Consistency Part 2: Purging for Taste, Texture & Transport presented by John Davidson III & Forrest Wynne. Here is the registration link: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJclfumpqzgsGdTMtVkmR236PnBi6Rj_rIKm Presentation Descriptions: Off-flavor compounds, geosmin (GSM) and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB), bioaccumulate in Atlantic salmon and other species produced in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) causing earthy, muddy tastes that are unacceptable to consumers. Over the last decade, the Freshwater Institute (FI) has developed standard operating procedures to effectively eliminate off-flavor concerns from fish prior to harvest - a process known as depuration. Dr. John Davidson will discuss step-by-step application of these important procedures, as well as emerging solutions for off-flavor in RAS-produced fish. Taste is a vital marketing attribute for fish going to market channels that provide seafood for human consumption. Still, it is not the only attribute for farmers selling live fish for the bait, stocking, ornamental, food, and production sectors. If you want to know more about getting your fish to their final destination in good condition, tune into the talk titled Preparation and Transportation of Live Warmwater Fish. Forrest Wynne will discuss how to get high-quality live fish to market.
