Contributions to ICEBIO25

Earlier this month was the Icelandic biological society conference (9.-11. Oct 2025).

Our lab was well represented there. The contributions were the following, with links to abstracts of the talks or posters.

Kenedy Williams presented her poster on the small fish, for which she won the explorer grant. (pictured above in the middle, flanked by Theodóra and Ruhila).
