It's great to be presenting again!

2 Jun 2022

The crew embarked on a European tour!

After a long and quite frankly demoralising time of trying to share ideas and network through on-line conferences it has been a relief and pleasure to be able to meet back in person again. The experience is so much more rewarding with greater feedback, greater impact and greater networking than possible on-line. I don’t know what you think but I certainly feel that there is no substitute for in person meetings when the content matters and if you want to network to seek new opportunities for research. The carbon footprint however is the elephant in the room!

Myself, Audrey, Felix, Ger, Larissa and Riccardo presented at GeoHab 2022 (Marine Geological and Biological Mapping) in Venice:

Here's to the end of COVID
