If any #NAACB2018 Pokémon go trainers are here, I brought some Asia-only Pokémon from #IMCC5 - wanna trade?

Just for the record, @LetsFishSmarter wore a suit and tie the other two days at #NAACB2018 but wore a T-shirt and cargo shorts to give his own talk this afternoon 😂

#NAACB2018 @LetsFishSmarter : Conservation policymaking needs to factor in political resilience- what can we do now to make sure this policy survives the next anti-science government? Quotes @drvox

#NAACB2018 @LetsFishSmarter : only 1/10 Americans oppose the Endangered Specied Act, but their fringe views are amplified by the media, making citizens and policy makers believe that this important policy is controversial when it is overwhelmingly supported

#NAACB2018 @LetsFishSmarter : it’s hard to actually find government fisheries stock assessment figures in Canada, and when you can find them they’re confusingly written- no wonder fishermen don’t believe them! “Leads to a fact free debate”

#NAACB2018 @LetsFishSmarter : fishermen in Newfoundland don’t believe the science concerning fish populations, they believe they are plenty of fish left. Media coverage often presents their side of the story.

Here’s @LetsFishSmarter at #NAACB2018

#NAACB2018 @wpalen : It takes much less work for hostile government to dismantle scientific and environmental regulations than for friendly governments to put them into place.

#NAACB2018 @wpalen : advocacy based on our scientific expertise can help support effective decisionmaking

Time for @wpalen at #NAACB2018 ! @sfu @LiberEroFellows

Hey #NAACB2018 friends, I’m giving a speed talk at 9:25 in room Pier 9, about my content analysis of shark conservation coverage in the popular press. Come on by!

Super cool thing at #NAACB2018 - @COMPASSscicomm @WilburforceFdn brought 20 science journalists to the meeting, and they’re all introducing themselves at the plenary!
