I recently returned from Aquaculture 2022 in San Diego! The triennial conferences are always a fantastic opportunity to see diverse research in aquaculture and shellfish research. This year was a big conference for me! As a Student Co-Chair for the National Shellfisheries Association, I organized student focused events with the Student Organizing Committee. My personal favorite was the Mentor-Mentee Breakfast, which paired current students and professionals for networking. Additionally, I served as a Chair for the "Oysters Contributed" session... which resulted in a ridiculous number of ribbons :) I presented two talks on my dissertation research, one on post settlement life history traits in Eastern oysters and a second on the distribution and demography of fossil oysters on the Atlantic continental shelf. My talk on fossil oysters was awarded the Thurlow C Nelson Outstanding Oral Presentation by the National Shellfisheries Association!! I previously received this award in 2019 and am deeply honored to be the 2022 recipient.
