Hello everyone! Over the winter break I attended SICB in Austin, Texas as a poster presenter. I presented my summer research (conducted with Dr. Emily Carrington at Friday Harbor Marine Laboratory), which looked at the effects of flow on filtering and gaping behavior in Mytilus galloprovincialis. This is my second SICB conference, but my first time attending in person. It was nice reuniting with my REU cohort and listening to all the exciting talks from researchers in comparative biology! This was such a unique experience that allowed me to enter outside of my comfort zone when presenting and talking to new people. I quickly became comfortable with talking about my research and grew to enjoy engaging with scientists who were interested in my poster. Networking was also another part of the conference I enjoyed. There were many scientists from twitter whom I have looked up to and it was great to finally meet them in person. I look forward to presenting again at Belle Bio Day at Saint Mary's College and at the regional SICB conference in Chicago! Comments are closed.
