What is SHOW?

SHOW (Simultaneous Hermaphrodite Organisms Workshop) is a forum for researchers studying hermaphroditism to share their findings and plan long-term collaborations. Running since 2011, the workshop initially focused on simultaneous hermaphrodites (organisms producing male and female gametes simultaneously) but now covers hermaphrodite evolution more broadly. The event spans two days and emphasizes diverse presentations from different research groups, fostering a wide range of ideas across various systems and disciplines. Its relaxed environment encourages early-career researchers to present in topics included population genetics, gene expression, sexual conflict, mating systems, gamete evolution, and experimental evolution.
