Eliza Reidย Keynote โ€“ Fish out ofย vatn Eliza wrote about her experience and particularly about becoming the first lady of Iceland - the idea of wanting to contribute and learning to trust that what one wants to say is worth it. It can be intimidating to talk in a conference about science, but she learned about citizen science and the connection between her experience and ours: pushing against the norms.
