ELASMulheres: a Brazilian symposium on Elasmobranchs promoted by, but not exclusively to, women C
Flávia F. Petean
hondrichthyan research has been increasing lately in Brazil, especially due to constant threats to their conservation. However, there is a lack of women in leading positions, such as teachers, professors, and advisors, who could encourage and support an academic environment that is more receptive to young women in chondrichthyan research. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, two of the largest Brazilian events allowing researchers to meet and communicate their results have not occurred since June 2018 (Sharks International / Meeting of the Brazilian Society for the Study of Elasmobranchs SBEEL) and January 2019 (Brazilian Meeting of Ichthyology - EBI).
