Really excited to have presented work from my Master’s on the fitness benefits of polyandry at the #ASABSpring2026 Conference in Bristol - and proud to have won best student speaker! ✨ It was a great few days meeting other researchers and listening to all the exciting work happening in the field! 🦋
I had a brilliant time presenting my first-ever poster on the first experiment of my PhD at #ASABSpring2026. It was such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and it was a pleasure meeting so many like-minded students all working on exciting projects in animal behaviour.
