Origin Stories
The inaugural “Origin Stories” event held in Thailand in 2024 was a huge hit and was followed up with another amazing session in Accra, Ghana. Given it success and intriguing stories, the event will be back for a third installment at the 44th ISTS Symposium! The Origin Stories session brings together some of the most respected voices in the field to share the personal and professional journeys that shaped their research careers. Through engaging storytelling, these distinguished researchers and conservationists will reflect on the pivotal moments, challenges, and inspirations that led them to where they are today. Attendees will gain insight into the diverse pathways into research, the role of mentorship, and the perseverance required to make impactful contributions to their field. There will be plenty of laughs, and maybe even some tears!
