I had the pleasure of presenting at my first European Cetacean Society's conference.
The conference in Ponta Delgada, the Azores was extremely well executed and I had a great time connecting with peers and learning more about marine mammals.

Publication alert! โจ Our recent paper in Ecology & Evolution addresses how to make conferences more inclusive. We collected observational and experimental data during Q&A sessions at the Behaviour 2023 congress hosted by Bielefeld University, and circulated a survey among conference attendees [1/4]
Ever wondered if you could reduce the laboratory plastic waste?
We tested the reusability of microtiter plates for PCR and fragment detection.

Have you considered whether animals differ in their perception of density?
We explored how differences in our senses, interpretation and past experiences shapes density perception, causing behavioral differences and affecting fitness outcomes. ๐งช

Have you considered the role of epigenetic variation in niche individualization?
We explored the interplay between interindividual phenotypic variation and epigenetic processes in a paper recently published in Trends of Ecology and Evolution ๐งช

Have you ever wondered about fine-scale predator-prey dynamics? ๐งช
I used image data and a neural network to investigate this in Antarctic fur seals.

๐งช Lab plastic waste is a huge problem - but what can we do about it? ๐ฅผ
In our lab, we tested whether reusing and washing microtitre plates could help reduce waste.
In some cases, it works! โป๏ธ ๐

What is responsible and rigorous science? @anelivb.bsky.social and @rebeccachen.bsky.social spent the last two days discussing this question at the #iScienceTBD workshop at @idiv-research.bsky.social. From EDI and science communication to HARKing, p-hacking, DAGs โ lots of food for thought! ๐ฑ๐ง
@anelivb.bsky.social & @rebeccachen.bsky.social emphasise the pre-publication error correction potential of open data in our latest #SORTEEjournal club post:
