The Otolith Symposium is the only symposium dedicated to research in the hard structures of aquatic organisms. The symposium is only held every five years, resulting in large attendance of some of the top peers and leaders in this field, offering a unique opportunity for me to present my research to these relevant international peers and leaders .
As an early career researcher, selecting the right conferences to attend can be fundamental in establishing future career pathways and networking connections. By attending and presenting at this conference I’ll be presenting to those with similar interest in this area of research, expanding potential opportunities for future collaboration, in addition, I’ll be able to discover other breakthroughs in this area of research which I will be able to bring back with me and apply of our own research and study programs in Australia.
