Corona-Pacman

The COVID-19 pandemic had forced us to go virtual for 2021. But we're optimistic for 2022 (San Diego)!

As much as we had hoped otherwise, as a community we determined in March 2021 that we still could not have an in-person conference that year.

However, we knew that our research did not stop. And we still wanted to come together and hear about it!

The 44th Larval Fish Conference happened virtually in June 2021 and was a great get together full of science and networking!
