it was great to have you there, Ciaran! We hope to see you there next year too and good luck with your interesting research #ECRs #aquatic #BESAG2025
This week I attended the @bes-aquaticgroup.bsky.social conference to present some of the work from my MRes on minke whale foraging ecology - a first in poster format. Congratulations to the award winners and a huge thank you to the committee for the organisation that went into it.
