#BESMacro2025

Thank you to everyone who participated in #BESMacro2025 last week! You can catch us at the annual meeting (now open for registration) or at next year's conference (watch this space for location announcement!).

And as always, if you have any ideas to improve the society, let us know!

I had a fantastic time at #BESMacro2025 last week in York!
Delivering the workshop I developed with @tguillerme.bsky.social on simulations was a particular highlight 💻
I’m also excited to take up co-leadership of the @besmacro.bsky.social SIG alongside @sheardcat.bsky.social 💪 watch this space!

Finished off this year's conference season at #BESMacro2025. What an amazing experience! Great talks, incredible people, and plenty of networking opportunities. If you're into macroecology and get the chance, don't miss it next year!
