Hello, everyone! I've just returned from Sharks International, a once-every-4-years scientific conference for elasmobranch researchers from all over the world.
Nearly 300 researchers from 38 countries attended the meeting to share their research, and thanks to social media, we were able to share the amazing scientific discoveries and important conservation policy changes with people all over the world. I've organized the conference tweets by day and by topic so that even people who don't use twitter can share in the knowledge. An organized list of these conference tweets can be found at this blog post: http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=17250 I am happy to either attempt to answer any serious question about the research presented at the conference, or to ask someone who does know the answer to respond- just leave a comment on the blog post. I will NOT respond to further harassment of scientist attendees or uninformed rants about the nature of the conference, and anyone who attempts to leave such a comment on this blog post will be banned from commenting for the future. Sincerely, -- *David Shiffman* *Ph.D. Student, Research Assistant,* Abess Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy <http://www.cesp.miami.edu/> R.J.
