Here's part of my #YearInReview2017
This year, I gave 6 invited departmental seminars- at @FLoridaAtlantic @UW @UBC and @SFU !
I led five #SciComm workshops, including at @UW @SFU @CSEE2017 and for the @LiberEroFellows.
I presented my research at #EcoEvoRT #ICCB2017 and #AES17

Tonight I leave Austin, Texas #JMIH17 #AES17 for Cartagena, Colombia to attend #ICCB2017 @ICCB2017 ! Who will I see there?
Any #AES17 #JMIH17 folks still around and free for lunch? Meet at the Knobby the Cow statue in the lobby at noon?
Who has two thumbs and got to eat first at the #AES17 banquet?
#AES17 Heim: Shark diving economically important to the Bahamas (I wrote about this for @hakaimagazine ), but effects on hammerheads unknown
#AES17 Heim: The shark diving industry has a variety of practices, some of which can significantly impact shark behavior/biology
The last #AES17 talk is Vital Heim, talking about the great hammerhead aggregation at Bimini and the associated ecotourism operations
The next #AES17 talk is Michael Byrne, talking about shortfin mako sharks
(Tap, tap, is this thing on? Is anyone in the #AES17 behavior session? Not seeing any tweets from there)
#AES17 Frisk: One tagged winter skate moved 1,377 kilometers in a year
(The research vessel Michael used is the RV SeaWolf, and now Shakira's "She wolf" is stuck in my head. Halp!) #AES17 #JMIH17
Thanks to @ElasmoSociety plenary speaker Dr. Willy Bemis for donating a banquet ticket to a student! #AES17
#AES17 Frisk: Winter skates get to 112 centimeters and can live 30 years. Live off the US east coast
#AES17 The next talk is by Michael Frisk, talking about long-distance migrations in winter skates
#AES17 @SpinyDag :Cownose rays are almost always migrating
(I've never been bitten by a shark, but I have been stung by a cownose ray. Went right through my boot. Hurt a great deal) #AES17 @SpinyDag
#AES17 @SpinyDag :Tagged cownose rays moved from 0 to 1,352 kilometers. Can swim up to 6 kilometers a day
#AES17 @SpinyDag :Cownose sea flap flaps have only one pup a year, extremely vulnerable to overharvest
#AES17 @SpinyDag : Cownose rays (unearned) bad reputation informs management of this species, which is a conservation issue
#AES17 @SpinyDag :Cownose rays are blamed for declines in shellfish, but the real culprit is overharvest of shellfish
#AES17 @SpinyDag :Cownose rays are perceived as "schools of locusts," pests that eat fishery target species.
#AES17 @SpinyDag :Cownose rays are "among the cutest elasmobranchs, but spiny dogfish are the cutest"
