Greetings from the 2023 ABMA-IMATA Joint Conference in Atlanta! Chris sits down with fellow ABMA Board Members and all-around awesome people Christina Lavallee from Zoo Atlanta, Justin Garner from Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Shane Gorbett from Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, and Scott Trauger from Natural Encounters, Inc., to chat about how the conference has gone so far, and about what we're excited about for the rest of the week. We discuss the opportunity for the newest people in the field to be teachers, the opportunity to pick the brains of some of the founding members of our industry (so many good Steves!), grill Shane about Animal Behavior Conversations (the podcast of the ABMA), and just generally geek out about all things animal behavior!
