Hi everyone, Sophia Daoudi-Simison is running for the communicaitons officer role in ASAB. If you are a member, these are her plans for the role below! Sharon As an early career lecturer, I am keen to gain more experience and contribute as a council member of ASAB, and in particular for the above role of communications officer. In terms of my own experience, during my PhD I was in charge of the social media profiles (e.g. Facebook and Twitter) of the Behaviour and Evolution Research Group (University of Stirling), advertising talks for weekly meetings, staff and student achievements, conferences and grant opportunities. Furthermore, when co-organising the Scottish Conference on Animal Behaviour, I designed the event webpage, conference applications (abstract submissions and payment), as well as monitoring email enquiries. More recently as a PostDoc at Newcastle University I actively contributed to the organisation and advertising of the Spring 2022 meeting (and I designed the logo). I believe that my existing skill set and enthusiasm for animal behaviour research make me an ideal candidate. Wish me luck!
