And that’s a wrap for @WhiteSharksGlob ! Amazing week with 4 plenaries, 65 presentations, and 9 workshops attended by 164 delegates including scientists, managers, and industry from 9 countries. Thanks to the organising committee, especially @Meyer_Sci and @ChloeNRoberts_

[Brittany Heath @itsbrttnyhth]

Honoured and so grateful for the opportunity to attend my first conference @WhiteSharksGlob with @SouthernSharkEG. Cheers to the organising committee for such an amazing event. Loved meeting all the wonderful people behind the fascinating white shark research!!🦈🦈🦈

[Charlie Huveneers @HuveneersSSEG]

Thanks @SAMuseum for giving me the opportunity to talk about shark bites and mitigation measures

[SouthernSharkEG @SouthernSharkEG]

When they say that scientists can look like their study species, I didn’t think it would happen to @JDennis_Sci

[Charlie Huveneers @HuveneersSSEG]

We ran two studies testing the efficacy of shark deterrents

[SouthernSharkEG @SouthernSharkEG]

Thanks to these amazing women for all your incredible work and science and for making the lab a better place #InternationalWomenDay @Flinders @FlindersMarine

[Maddie Riley @Maddie95_]

@DoctorKarl we test shark deterrents by placing an attractant 🐟 next to a deterrent. We record how many times a shark passes, measure pass distance with a stereo camera, if it bites, and physical reactions. Control = device turned off, treatment = on. No one is in the water 🦈

Coming back from one week on holidays to three published papers. Sounds to me like I should go on leave more often… @FlindersMarine @SouthernSharkEG @SAEnvirWater #MarineParks

[Dr Yuri Niella @Yuri_Niella]

Just out on Wildlife Research 🚨
@Meyer_Sci @HuveneersSSEG @SouthernSharkEG

We found no short-term responses of white sharks to research activities (tagging, biopsy, or electric deterrent trials) at the Neptune Islands

[Nature Portfolio @NaturePortfolio]

A paper in @ScientificData describes the Australian Shark-Incident Database, which contains comprehensive reports of 1,196 shark bites that have occurred in Australia over 231 years. https://t.co/aI7V2kUtAe

[SouthernSharkEG @SouthernSharkEG]

New paper led by @Maddie95_: Australia's shark-bite incidents now published and publicly available https://t.co/9nwvNyV61w

New #ASID logo is not too shabby 🦈

[Maddie Riley @Maddie95_]

@TalvMonster @SouthernSharkEG @GlobEcoFlinders @tarongazoo @Flinders This one also caught my eye! This is a bull shark that swam a long way up the river!

[Maddie Riley @Maddie95_]

We published and standardised the Australian Shark-Incident Database (formerly Australian Shark Attack File). This comprehensive database can help researchers to analyse shark-bite trends to help reduce these tragic events in the future. Read it here: https://t.co/LqbDWHfCpa

@aditsp_7 That’s so kind 🙏

[Maddie Riley @Maddie95_]

While doing my PhD last year, I also grew a gorgeous human - meet Wesley. I now have a deep respect for women, mothers & caregivers in STEM. Thankful for a supportive team around me, too @SouthernSharkEG @GlobEcoFlinders. Of course, he was dressed accordingly since he was born 🦈

[SouthernSharkEG @SouthernSharkEG]

We didn’t have enough purple for #WearItPurpleDay @Flinders so we tried for balloons on a windy day! We are thrilled to support our 🏳️‍🌈LBGTQIA+ students, staff, and collaborators globally!
