Me giving the keynote at the thematic session
The backstory for how this came about is also kind of fun. It all started when @nickajgraham.bsky.social invited me to give the keynote talk last year in the thematic session on ecological flows and fluxes across the land-sea interface at #BES2024. @britishecologicalsociety.org

Great to connect with brilliant researchers, share our work on Ethiopia's progress toward #30x30, and get valuable feedback.
Icing on the cake? Tasty Ethiopian food and a chance to practice our Amharic—bringing back fieldwork memories!🌍
Really enjoyed presenting my first chapter work at #BES2024 last week.
I had some great discussions and feedback to carry forward so thanks everyone who came to chat with me!
It was a huge honour to be awarded the 2024 Founder's Prize at #BES2024, most especially to stand alongside such an incredible group of fellow award winners! Thank you @britishecolsoc.bsky.social - a society truly close to my heart! (if not my home, any more)
