Just returned from the first meeting of the American Ornithological Society (after the recent merger of AOU and COS), joined by the Society of Canadian Ornithologists to form a fantastic and fun meeting in East Lansing Michigan.

I was very busy all week.

First I helped run the Social Media and Science Communication Symposium Wednesday.

My Slides are available here.

Slides from the entire symposium are available here

I also had the pleasure of giving a 3 minute lightning talk introducing myself to ornithology as an early career professional. The entire symposium can be watched here Via SciCommMonday.

Thursday I had a poster highlighting my 2015 paper in Waterbirds with Black Swamp Bird Observatory, available here.

Friday I helped run a Q&A about social media and science, well attended with a great discussion.

Saturday I gave a talk on my postdoc work on structured decision making available here.

It was a wonderful meeting, full of friends and new faces.
