Personal note

Something unexpected came up for my professor, so I travelled to Nagoya at short notice to give the presentation in their place. It was my first annual meeting of the Society for Evolutionary Studies, Japan. I met many professors and researchers I had previously exchanged ideas with and heard talks on interesting work in evolutionary biology.
