Hello, everyone! I recently attended the American Elasmobranch Society conference, the largest meeting of shark, skate and ray scientists in the world. We live-tweeted the conference, sharing exciting new research from presentations live via twitter. Each session's tweets are now Storify-ed, formatted and organized in a way that people who aren't on twitter can easily read.
Please look them over, share with interested colleagues, and let me know if you have any questions! If you're interested in learning more about the benefits of conference live-tweeting as well as how to do it, please see my recent publication on this issue here: ( http://rjd.miami.edu/assets/pdfs/pubs/Shiffman%202012%20conference%20live-tweeting.pdf ) Dr. Gregor Cailliet's plenary address http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=15116 The biology and conservation of durophagous rays symposium http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=15119 Ecology and Conservation http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=15128 Gruber Award (best student presentation) session http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=15144 Physiology, Behavior and Genetics: http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=15163 Finally, I asked people following along to tell me a little about themselves- check out the diversity of our audience! http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=15168 Please let me know if you have any questions.
