It literally takes one minute to sign this petition to stop mass harvesting of seaweed from the west coast of Ireland without proper public consultation. I signed and it’s at 12,222 out of 15,000 rn — please sign:
I'm thrilled to see we represent 44 different countries and that the gender balance is tipped towards women (54% of us)... This is a huge win given that according to a recent UNESCO report, women make up only 30% of researchers worldwide.
🐋 Loved having a chat about bubble netting humpbacks on @npr.org's Science Desk with Nate Rott! As a *major* NPR Tiny Desk fan... can someone tell me is this the scientists' equivalent?! 🤪

{whalestrike} R package version 0.6 is available now! 🐳The package simulates a #shipstrike and calculates the probability of lethality. The updated package provides parameters to select #whale species and vessel types. A Shiny app is available to see the impacts of the parameters in real time.
📢 Calling all #eDNA folks!!

I'm looking forward to presenting my findings on the spatio-temporal genetic structure of humpback whales feeding in the North Pacific over the past 4 decades from my postdoc at the Marine Mammal Institute @oregonstate.edu at the European Cetacean Society (ECS) conference in Scotland next week. 🐳🧬
If Europe wants real energy security, the answer isn’t more LNG terminals or new gas deals.
It’s:
✅ cutting fossil fuel demand
✅ scaling up renewables, grids and storage
✅ electrifying heating & transport
✅ insulating homes

Humpback whales will sometimes use an intricate strategy to catch food called bubble-net feeding. A new study suggests they're spreading the knowledge of how to do it to each other.
