Always thankful to get the opportunity to take part in AALAS, thank you to the @aalasnational folks for their support! Connecting with other aquatic animal research staff and support is always so rewarding. We were thrilled to chat with so many animal health professionals this year as well!

We also were thankful to have some time to connect with friends, colleagues, and even an upcoming podcast guest at the conference! We went with friends to @aquariumpacific.bsky.social (more than once!) and also did an afternoon whale watch.
