On April 22 - 24, the AEL hosted a Hierarchical Modeling workshop, facilitated by Ty Wagner (Penn State University/USGS) and Steve Midway (Penn State University/Coastal Carolina University). Graduate students, faculty, and agency officials were in attendance to learn more about this statistical approach and how it may enhance our understanding of fish recruitment in Lake Erie and Ohio reservoirs. 

A big thanks to Ty and Steve for making this happen, and to our attendees for keeping the discussion thought-provoking and current.
