The #25DaysofFishmas
Clip: Season 1 Episode 8 | 1m 21sVideo has Closed Captions
Meet Dr. Katfish, who wants you to know that Great Lakes fish can be fun and festive.
When doctoral student Katie O’Reilly saw a certain poster of Great Lakes fish, its layout reminded her of an advent calendar. And it got her thinking: what if she designed something similar. But instead of a daily piece of chocolate, she shared facts about Great Lakes fish? And she did it on Twitter? Her idea spawned the #25DaysofFishmas annual campaign, now heading into its fourth rendition.
