This week Davide and Shaun headed to the International Congress on the Biology of Fishes. It was a week full of fantastic talks and meetups with great friends.
Extremely blurry photo of Shaun talking about digestive costs and positioning of fish within schools.
David McKenzie talking about our work on air-breathing fish in Brazil.
This week Shaun travelled to Ireland to meet with friends and colleagues Christos Ioannou, Phil McGinnity, and Valentin Lecheval, to perform work on some ongoing projects. The weather wasn’t very cooperative but it was a productive and fun trip nonetheless!
This week Lucy and Shaun visited Jolle Jolles in Konstanz to work on various ongoing analyses. It was a great few days with lots of excellent brainstorming and exchanges of ideas. Looking forward to our next visit!
Last week Shaun was in Bergen, Norway, for a meeting of collaborators and consultants on the ConEvolHer Project, coordinated by Katja Enberg. It was an incredibly stimulating week of science with some fantastic people. Thank you Katja and lab for organising such a great meeting!
This month Lucy and Shaun went to China to work with Shi-Jian Fu and colleagues at Chongqing Normal University. The aim was to examine how metabolism and feeding interact to affect fish social behaviour. As always it was an amazingly fun and productive trip. We are already looking forward to our return!

No trip to China is complete without karaoke!
Real Finnish winter!
Last week Shaun traveled to the University of Jyväskylä to give a talk and visit Pauliina Ahti, Silva Uusi-Heikkilä, and Anna Kuparinen. The trip was filled with lots of great conversation about fishy science, Finnish treats, and beer! Thanks to all for an amazing visit!
Fireside science chats.
Ummm.... salmiakki....
For the second year in a row Shaun and Tommy went to the CRIOBE research station on the island of Moorea to work with Suzie Mills, Ricardo Beldade, and PhD student Daphne Cortese. This time they were also accompanied by Amelie Crespel. Once again the goal was to carryout a range of studies looking at how factors such as flow rate and anenome bleaching affect young clownfish. Thanks to all for an incredibly fun and productive trip!

Serious planning going on!
