This summer (2016), our lab travelled to the shores of the mighty Mississippi: Shorf presented a poster on his elephant conservation work at the 96th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Mammalogists, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. About a week later, Stephanie and Jared both gave oral papers on their work at the Joint Meeting of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists in New Orleans, Louisiana. I also chipped in presentations at both conferences, including a co-authored paper with Jessica.
