破坏性事件可以引发社会变革，带来有益的结果(Walker等人，2020年)。对于科学专业来说，新冠肺炎大流行引发了一场全面的转变，从面对面的研讨会、研讨会和会议转向使用虚拟格式进行研究和知识传播(例如，维格利奥内，2020年)。尽管自互联网发展以来一直倡导虚拟会议的优点(例如，Reay，2003；Gichora等人，2010；Blackman等人，2020)，但生态和环境科学历来依赖面对面的活动，在所谓的封锁和旅行限制期间，采用虚拟会议进行知识共享和联网是一个根本性的变化。在新冠肺炎的逼迫下，许多会议迅速转向虚拟形式。然而，对面对面会议的专业和个人依恋的结合，对针对新冠肺炎的疫苗有效性的希望，以及计划尽快完全举办面对面活动的组织，表明我们可能会错过永久重新想象科学会议以造福于保护研究的实践和文化的无与伦比的机会。会议深深植根于生态文化中(Sanders等人，2020年)。例如，早期职业研究人员和从业者的目标可能是每年参加1-2次国内或国际会议。面对面活动的注册费用通常在600-1000英镑、欧元或美元之间，需要补助金、奖学金或个人资金。在新冠肺炎之前，InPerson活动是生态和保护会议的主要形式，在大多数情况下，是唯一的形式(例如，美国生态学会、保护生物学学会和世界渔业大会)，例行公事地会有成百上千的
Disruptive events can trigger societal transformations with beneficial outcomes (Walker et al., 2020). For scientific professions, the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a comprehensive shift from in-person workshops, seminars, and conferences to the use of virtual formats for research and knowledge dissemination (eg, Viglione, 2020). Despite the merits of virtual conferencing being advocated since the development of the internet (eg, Reay, 2003; Gichora et al., 2010; Blackman et al., 2020), ecological and environmental sciences have historically relied on in-person events, and adoption of virtual conferencing for knowledge sharing and networking during so-called lockdowns and travel restrictions represented a radical change. Compelled by COVID-19, many conferences rapidly shifted to virtual formats. However, the combination of professional and personal attachment to in-person conferences, hopes of the effectiveness of vaccines against COVID-19, and organizations planning to host solely in-person events as soon as possible suggests we risk missing an unparalleled opportunity to permanently reimagine scientific conferences to benefit the practice and culture of conservation research.Conferences are deeply embedded in the culture of ecology (Sanders et al., 2020). For example, early career researchers and practitioners may aim to attend 1–2 national or international conferences annually. Registration costs for in-person events typically span 600–1000 pounds, Euros, or dollars, requiring grants, scholarships, or personal funds. Prior to COVID-19, inperson events were the primary and, in most cases, sole format for ecology and conservation conferences (eg, Ecological Society of America, Society for Conservation Biology, and World Fisheries Congress), where routinely hundreds to thousands of
