Between 10 and 14 September, I had the pleasure to present two posters at two different conferences simultaneously: one in person at the 9th Student Conference on Conservation Science (SCCS) in Balatonvilágos (Hungary) and the other online at ENTO24 organised by The Royal Entomological Society.
I enjoyed the SCCS’s strong focus on pollinators, which allowed me to attend many presentations relevant to my research, ranging from plenary talks to student presentations.
It was a special honour for me that one of my articles was citated during one of the plenary lectures on wild pollinator conservation in urban areas.
Thanks to the jury the kind feedback they provided on my poster, entitled Detecting differences in foraging behaviour of Bombus terrestris on three plant species using computer vision-based methods: “Fascinating. Very (!) dense in information, which is dangerous, but then you have handouts which compensates for that. QR codes to access the videos -> love it!”
I am grateful for the inspiring discussions (especially about AI technologies in pollinator monitoring) and to everyone who contributed to making these days enjoyable, despite the poor weather, by the lake Balaton.
One week after the conference, our article, based on the poster I had presented at SCCS, was published.
