Today’s second #ASFB2025 plenary was from Madeline Green, who took us from her fishing-obsessed childhood to current research using molecular monitoring to help manage fisheries 🧬🎣

Madeline received the ASFB’s ERC International Travel Award, allowing her to visit Iceland to present her research ✈️

🐟What stories do you tell about your research?
🐟What stories are you listening to?
🐟Could you be listening differently?
🐟What stories do we need to tell together?

Questions posed in a thought-provoking start to #ASFB2025 from Jess Melbourne-Thomas, on science storytelling in a challenging future.

Presenting a scientific #poster is not a trivial thing! It’s a useful and challenging skill for any researcher to develop.

Our #postersession is at the heart of #ASFB2024. The sheer quantity and quality of #fish #biology discussions was a reminder of just how dynamic this field is! 🐟👩‍🔬

It was a pleasure to host Rachael at #ASFB2024
Rachael Robertson gives #ASFB2024 an entertaining and eye-opening insight into #leadership on an #Antarctic base.

Some useful takeaways:
✅ in a team, “respect trumps harmony every time”
✅ integrity means no triangles – air issues directly
✅ emperor penguins are #teamwork inspiration
