ASFB Facebook Page
A facebook page has been set up for the society and has been active since mid-September. A facebook profile is not necessary to look at our page, but you will need one if you would like to be active on it (i.e. post links, photos or comments directly to the page).
Australian Society for Fish Biology facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Australian-Society-for-Fish-Biology/283491091759670
We would love to regularly add photos and short descriptions of fish/fisheries research actives here in Australia, especially student research. If anyone has any type of announcement (volunteer needs, jobs, postdocs, or PhD opportunities, etc.) related to the society or fish/fisheries, please send an email to asfbstudentrep@gmail.com (or gretchen.grammer@adelaide.edu.au) with the information, and we will add it to the page. Alternatively, you may post directly to our facebook page, and the page administrator will moderate and share the information. We would also like to share recent publications from our members on the page, so if you have a new publication coming out, please let us know!
Please share this page with anyone who may be interested, especially undergraduate and honours students as this will be another avenue to let them know what goes on within ASFB and may help to increase our student membership.
