The call for oral and poster presentations has closed, but there’s still opportunity to share 3-minute ‘”tidbit” updates — quick, informal project highlights, event announcements or other fishy related updates. Sign up on-site at the Palmer Depot for the day you’d like to present (first come, first served). No abstract or write-up required!
