#SPEetol2025 The SPE conference came to an end. A huge thank you to the organising committee @fishethogroup for their amazing work putting together this year's conference! 👏👏 Thank you to all attendees, speakers, Plenary speakers, and poster presenters 👏👏👏 See you all next year!

The Vitor Almada Award is the society prize for best student talk. It is never easy to select one from the great talks we had from students! The 12th Vítor Almada Award recipient was Pedro Santos with the work "Noise shapes collective anti-predator response".

There was so many great posters and the decision for the best poster was hard. The best poster award goes to João Grave, with the work "Indirect effects of cleaner gobies on fish grazing and benthic community structure" . Well done and congratulations! 🥳
