Coho: Coho salmon, Cohomology, and Cohomosexuality

 Coho:  Coho salmon, Cohomology, and Cohomosexuality During their  ocean  phase, coho salmon have silver sides and dark-blue backs. During their spawning phase, their  jaws  and  teeth  become hooked. After entering fresh water, they develop bright-red sides, bluish-green heads and backs, dark bellies and dark spots on their backs. Sexually maturing fish develop a light-pink or rose shading along the belly, and the males may show a slight arching of the back. Mature adults have a pronounced red skin color with darker backs and average 28 inches (71 cm) and 7 to 11 pounds (3.2 to 5.0 kg), occasionally reaching up to 36 pounds (16 kg).

THE THRIVING PROFESSOR, OUT VERY SOON...

  The Thriving Professor  [Fall 2018 ] is the go-to book for anyone embarking on a career in higher education.

The advice is straightforward and the comments on the joys and pitfalls of the academic world are immensely helpful. The most important reminder of this remarkable book, its one recurring injunction, is the necessity of  thinking;  thinking about what we do, what we explore, how we grade, or, if need be, how to move from one field to another. Martin Krieger has written an outstanding guide to the most exacting and rewarding profession. ( Marie-Hél ène Huet,  M. Taylor Pyne  Professor of French and Italian, Emerita, Princeton University)
