About
This three-day meeting at MDI Biological Laboratory was built to connect people working with the African turquoise killifish and to encourage scientific exchange. It was positioned as a hub for killifish researchers and also welcomed scientists from other fields who wanted to collaborate and build contacts. Participants could join in person or online, and the organizer planned further meetings every two years.

It was held at MDI Biological Laboratory in Salisbury Cove, Maine.
The conference was aimed at killifish researchers and researchers of different fields.
It was most useful for researchers working with killifish, since the meeting was a small, three-day community gathering at MDI Biological Laboratory with speakers from Stony Brook, Mayo Clinic and the NIH Intramural Research Program, and in-person tuition of $600 included meals and housing. Researchers from other fields could benefit from the collaboration it aimed to foster, but those without killifish work would get less, and the $50 online option suited people who only wanted the talks.
Academic research meetings like this usually involve casual dress, such as jeans, sweaters and fleece, and a coastal Maine setting in early October called for warm layers and sturdy shoes.
