What a hectic weekend!
PINP put on a 2 day symposium, day 1 being done through Twitter and day 2 comprising of face to face presentations.
It was really great, and rather inspiring, to hear all the research that has been and is being done at Phillip Island. Including a few projects I've been a part of.
A lot of people turned up for the symposium, people from the board, people who work for government environmental departments, researchers, rangers, students, general public.
The Twitter conference seems to be a great way to reach a wider audience and a lot of scientists, and other groups, appear to be holding conferences this way.
It reached over 98,000 people across Australia, New Zealand, North and South America, Europe and Asia.
Presentations covered a range of topics including penguins, shearwaters, swamp wallabies, kangaroos, feral cats, toxins in penguins, problems of artificial lights, ravens, platypus, education, zoos, and so much more.
