Special session: Fostering a more equitable, diverse and inclusive ASFB. Chairs: Jessica Tout-Lyon and Meaghan Duncan. Sponsored by Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC). It has been eight years since our ‘Incredible Women in Ichthyology’ session, where we aimed to be more inclusive of gender diversity in fish and fisheries research. Here we aim to broaden our focus beyond gender to embrace inclusivity across age, culture, ethnicity, and more. Our invited speaker Rachael Robertson will open with 'Leading on the Edge' ... where she will reflect on learnings from how she led and inspired her team through the long, tough Antarctic year.
