Shifting away from the business-as-usual approach to research conferences	2020-10-23		.txt	text/plain	3555	179	46	Using available technology, early career scientists Chelsie Counsell and Franziska Elmer created a global, virtual, coral reef research conference with live talks, recorded contributions, and networking events. GCRW thus became an opportunity for coral reef scientists to share their research, network with new colleagues, and try the virtual conference experience. When organizing GCRW, we strived to retain the key components of an in-person conference, i.e., research talks, plenary talks, workshops, networking, and other social events. In response to participant requests shared during GCRW, conference organizer Franziska Elmer partnered with plenary speaker Robby Thigpen (Marine Conservation without Borders) and participant Neus Figueras (University of Barcelona) to lead a live workshop on ways to strengthen outreach and communication. We deliberately did not schedule live events on the last two conference days, which enabled us to organize and host additional programming (i.e., live-streamed workshops and collaborative research-project-development meetings) in response to the expressed interest of our participants.	./cache/cord-334621-bhvemgjv.txt	./txt/cord-334621-bhvemgjv.txt
