Extremely proud supervisor moment!! Franca Eichenberger submitted her PhD yesterday afternoon! Huge congratulations. Emma Carroll Claire Garrigue Luke Rendell @lrendell.bsky.social SMRU

Honored to be speaking at the induction day for the Royal Society Newton International Fellowship as an Alumni of this amazing fellowship. #RS_ResearchFellow SMRU The Royal Society

🚨New paper alert🚨

How can individual humpback whales stand out when everyone sings the same song? The answer is variability! Check out our paper, led by Luca Lamoni from his SMRU PhD.

Excited to get the chance to present some of my PhD research on sexual selection in humpback whales at the #SMM2022 Marine Mammalogy in the Ecology - All Things Sound (K2) live session on Friday (05/08/22) at 13:30 EDT (18:30 BST) SMRU

When South Pacific humpback whales transmit song between populations, songs can be learned really accurately regardless of how complicated they are!

If you want to learn more, come check out my speed talk today at 3:05 EST in 2ABC (Behaviour I)! #SMM2022

Excited to be at #SMM2022 !
