AFS conference

American Fisheries Society

Presented some of my MSc work at my first annual American Fisheries Society conference, virtual edition! I tried making the most of the pre-recorded talks by going all in on an animated methods section, voiceover narration and a super high information density. I loved listening to the huge variety of presentation topics that were on offer this year, from invasive species to climate change to the social aspects of fisheries science.

I had a great time despite a lack of scheduled breaks with coffee and snacks. A huge plus was being able to hear from others who also wouldn’t have been able to make it to an in-person conference. I’m hoping a side effect of all this virtual business will be that future conferences will by default include a virtual attendance option to make content and discussions more accessible to a bigger portion of the scientific community.
