Last week I “attended” another virtual conference, this time a Science & Innovation meeting held by EMCR’s for EMCR’s (Early/Mid-Career Researchers) with a strong focus on multidisciplinary collaboration across local institutions, called BLiSS*Adelaide.
The organisers did a great job pivoting and adapting to an online format, with sessions spread over four mornings throughout the week. This was some well-thought through scheduling to avoid Zoom-fatigue! The opening keynote was delivered by Dr Cathy Foley, Chief Scientist at CSIRO, and there was an engaging program of speakers each day as well as networking opportunities via “breakout rooms”.
Delegates were able to present their research via short 3-minute pre-recorded “Science Bites” and my contribution was called “Powerful Imaging Techniques for Palaeontology”. I am pleased to announce that I was awarded the Best Science Bites Presentation (People’s Choice – Lights, Camera, Action!) at the BLiSS*Adelaide 2020 Virtual Conference!
Many thanks to all who voted for my presentation, and thanks to the organisers and sponsors of the event which enabled such a great event to go ahead.
Dr Alice Clement 
I’m sure it was well deserved
