🎺WANTED: Candidates for ASAB Meeting Secretary I've enjoyed 6 years as Meetings Secretary for the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour, helping organise conferences and other meetings. It's been great, but I now have to step down. Details below Any Q's DM/email me

Like animal behaviour conferences? Want to make a big contribution to our field? Forget being a journal editor, ASAB ASAB are looking for a new meetings secretary. Details below, questions to Pheasants@Exeter Please RT!

This is one of the most important contributions you can make to the science of animal behaviour. ASAB is well funded by the journal, so the meetings secretary role is 'how to spend it', not 'how to pay for it'. You'll join ASAB council too, full of lovely folks (and me...).
