What a day! 🤩 Presented my research on pharmaceutical pollution and its effects on fish behaviour and immunity at #ASABSpring2025 Conference — and took home 3rd place! Super grateful for the experience, the inspiring talks, and the fantastic people I met. @asab.org #BobWongLab

Had a blast at #ASABSpring2025, presenting movement and meeting many enthusiastic early career researchers. If you're into tracking animal movements in videos, do apply for the "Animals in Motion" workshop I'm organising in London this August: neuroinformatics.dev/open-softwar...
