Dear all, The committee of the UK and Ireland Regional Student Chapter (UKIRSC) of the Society for Marine Mammalogy are pleased to announce our 15th annual conference. This year our meeting will be held on the 24th–26th June 2020 at the Sea Mammal Research Unit - University of St Andrews, Scotland*. This is a free conference which aims to bring together students from all across the United Kingdom and Ireland who are interested in and study marine mammals. Students are encouraged to present and discuss their work with colleagues, and have the opportunity to attend workshops and talks given by experienced scientists and specialists. **Please bear in mind that given the current global pandemic, the event may have to be moved online, depending on the restrictions in place closer to the date.* For more information and to register for the conference, please visit our website: https://synergy.st-andrews.ac.uk/ukrsc/ or follow us in social media https://www.facebook.com/UKIRSC/ https://twitter.com/UKIRSC_SMM Any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
