I-deel at ESEB2022 congress

By Losia Lagisz
13 - 19 August 2022 has been a very busy and fun week – a week at ESEB (European Society for Evolutionary Biology) Congress in Prague, Czech Republic.

This congress was very special to us for five reasons:

1. We had four I-deel members attending (Shinichi, Losia, Szymek and Patrice) and one associated member (Totoro). Unfortunately, somehow, we do not have a photo with all of us together!​
2. For Shinichi and Losia it was first in-person conference in three years, also first overseas travel since the start of the Covid pandemics. For Totoro it was his first conference ever (and he did very well with his poster presentation).
3. There were hundreds of great presentations and posters – physically impossible to see them all. The diversity of topics and ideas was exciting and inspiring, as usual at ESEB.
4. We got to catch up with many of our good old friends and collaborators. We also met many interesting new people.
5. We organised a SORTEE in-person meet-up, with over 20 people attending from around the world. Some new members potentially will be joining SORTEE and their forces for credibility revolution in ecology and evolution!

Big thanks to the organisers of ESEB2022 and we hope to be able to attend the next one – ESEB2025 to be held in Barcelona, Spain!
