Dear ANZSCSMM members, This is a friendly reminder that the third Australia/New Zealand Student Chapter Meeting of the Society for Marine Mammalogy will take place on November 24th and 25th, 2016, starting at 9 AM at Flinders University (South Australia). There will be an optional half-day workshop (Introduction to DISCOVERY: Photo-Identification Data-Management System for Individually Recognisable Animals) on Wednesday afternoon, November 23rd, which will be run by our colleagues from the University of Hong Kong. This opportunity will be free, and open to all interested conference participants. The Chapter has funding to provide meals during the two days of the conference, as well as the opportunity to cover most, if not all, accommodation costs for those traveling from outside of Adelaide (3 nights; depending upon need). We would therefore like to reiterate that all university students (undergraduates to postdocs) from Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, and Southeast Asia are welcome to attend. We encourage attendees to give an oral presentation (15 minutes) or to present a poster about their current (or planned) work on marine mammals. Participants wishing to present must submit an abstract (max. 300 words) by Friday October 21st. Please send an email as soon as possible to anzscsmm@gmail.com<mailto:anzscsmm@gmail.com> with the subject 'ANZSCSMM Abstract', along with your presentation preference, abstract, name, affiliation, the state/country you'll be traveling from, any dietary requirements, and a request for accommodation (if applicable). If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us! We will be sending out a schedule and an abstract book two weeks prior to the conference. We look forward to meeting you all, ANZ Student Chapter Heads ___________________________________________________________________________ Kate Indeck The Cetacean Ecology and Acoustics Laboratory, University of Queensland Cecilia Passadore Cetacean Ecology, Behaviour and Evolution Laboratory, Flinders University Jessica Patiño Pérez Ecology, Behaviour and Conservation Group, Massey University Katherine Indeck PhD Candidate Cetacean Ecology and Acoustics Laboratory School of Veterinary Science University of Queensland Gatton Campus QLD 4343, Australia Phone: (07) 5460 1877 Mob: 0413 933 922 Email: k.indeck@uq.edu.au<mailto:k.indeck@uq.edu.au> CEAL website: https://ceal.lab.uq.edu.au/
