Hello, everyone!

I recently attended the American Elasmobranch Society conference, the
world's largest annual gathering of shark, skate and ray scientists. Along
with several other members, I shared updates from the conference in
real-time with followers all over the world using twitter. I've now added
each of the conference tweets to a "Storify", which organizes them and
allows people to easily read them even if they are unfamiliar with twitter.

If anyone is interested in learning more about using twitter as a tool for
science outreach, I recently had a paper published about this topic- please
let me know if you are interested in receiving a copy.

Here are links to each of the American Elasmobranch Society tweets,
organized by conference session theme and by talk. Each talk's abstract is
included, along with links to learn more about the study species or lab. If
you have a question about any of the research I've shared on twitter,
please leave it as a comment at the bottom and I'll make sure the presenter
sees it.
