@treloar_wales @DanielaZeppilli do you know the speakers name? Could ask Jozee?
Thanks!

Last afternoon of the #16DSBS diving into Art & Science. How to connect scientists and the society: from music, to books for children and adults, art pieces and documentaries. #artandscience

[Dr. Alexandra A-T Weber @AatWeber]

Our paper on #hybrid #conferences is online and #OA ! We report our experience as organisers and surveyed participants for feedback. We showed that: 1) organisation is more challenging 1/n

Thank you again to all 16DSBS survey respondents!

[Dr. Alexandra A-T Weber @AatWeber]

I'm happy to share our latest work on challenges and opportunities of hybrid conferences! https://t.co/BQHMmxE3HH Main message: more work to organize, but more flexibility for participants and overall decreased #carbon #footprint. Will hybrid meetings be the new normal? @16dsbs

Check our latest preprint on the challenges and opportunities to organize #16DSBS, and hybrid conferences in general! https://t.co/kAeSW41tez Many thanks to all #16DSBS survey respondents for their valuable input! @DSBSoc @DeepStewardship

[Daniela Zeppilli @DanielaZeppilli]

Join our lab and the @BlueRevProject with an 18 month position testing cutting-edge technologies for deep-sea biodiversity studies! Applications are now open!

[16th Deep-Sea Biology Symposium @16dsbs]

The #16DSBS survey is open to everyone who participated! The results will be used in a paper on how to organize a hybrid conference & what could be improved for upcoming meetings!
The survey is open until 15.10, check your emails for the link! @DSBSoc

Thanks to all judges for assessing the presentations during #16DSBS and to @quattrinia for her monumental effort in coordinating this

[Deep-Sea Biology Society @DSBSoc]

We had two winners during the AGM:

Paper of the Year: @AlexLDavis_ et al. for their work on ultra-black camouflage in #deepsea fishes
https://t.co/5bHnQpE1Mm

#PhD thesis paper: @coralnerd for their work on benthic megafauna on N Pacific Seamounts https://t.co/5yYgcvnoJL

[Deep-Sea Biology Society @DSBSoc]

And these are the amazing students & early-career researchers that won presentation awards during #16DBS

Best Student talk
@VIStenvers @NMNH & @GEOMAR_en on "Impacts of global warming and deep-sea mining induced sediment plumes on the mesopelagic medusa Periphylla periphylla"

[16th Deep-Sea Biology Symposium @16dsbs]

The #16DSBS has come to an end. We cannot thank all the participants enough for their patience, support and great #deepsea science. Big 🙌 to the @DSBSoc!! We are really looking forward to the #17DSBS in Hong Kong 🇭🇰

[Jeffrey Marlow @jj_marlow]

Had the pleasure of convening this round-table discussion to close out @16dsbs! The UN's BBNJ treaty, if done well, will aid scientists in their work, expand the community of deep-sea scientists, and make the most of scientific knowledge for effective management - a triple win.

[Vanessa Stenvers @VIStenvers]

Feeling incredibly honoured for winning the best student talk at the @16dsbs symposium! Thank you so much!

[Isabel De Block @Isabel_De_Block]

Such a wonderfull experience meeting all of you at the @16dsbs in Brest! Hope we will meet again!
For those with me on La Recouvrance here is Randy the dolphin saying goodbye while he goes to sleep.
