Livestream of the northern bottlenose whale necropsy in Kolding, Denmark for anyone who is interested! This whale was spotted in Kolding on Monday and passed away on Thursday. tvsyd.dk/kolding/live-f…

Friendly reminder that the April 1st (yes I know) deadline for applications to the SMRU (now posting at Bluesky) Marine Mammal Science MSc is approaching. You would not be a fool to apply! Check the thread of thesis projects below. More info: st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/marin…

Excited to read Zoe Rand's new paper!🎉

(1/1) A fantastic period of data collection in the lab and field in Croatia for our #CoCoD project - a large collaborative effort investigating the cerebrovascular and cardiovascular impacts of diving in freedivers, spearfishers and SCUBA divers

As part of our CoCoD project we are instrumenting spearfishers with Electrical Impedance Tomography to measure lung function and our new SMRU (now posting at Bluesky) & Artinis Medical Systems NIRS GPS Phone tag measuring 3D diving behaviour and cardio- & cerebro-vascular function while fishing for up to 6hrs sea

🚨New #OA paper🚨led by Matt Carter & Debbie JF Russell: habitat-based seal distribution maps for UK & Ireland for #marinespatialplanning and ecology 🌍🦭. Includes specific distribution estimates for #SACs. Collab w/ Lighthouse Field Stn UCC Ireland CREEM_cake University of Glasgow tinyurl.com/bdfn35fx

Very excited that our University of St Andrews SMRU (now posting at Bluesky) CoCoD project on the diving physiology of spearfishing will feature in an upcoming documentary 'Challenging Flow' by the talented Lizzy Fowler. Here's a sneak preview of what's to come!

After a couple of fantastic months of data collection on spearfishers for our SMRU (now posting at Bluesky) CoCoD project, we say farewell to #Croatia 🇭🇷 for 2022. Huge 🙏 to all our collaborators & to everyone involved! Photo credit: Lizzy Fowler

Looking forward to presenting my Master’s thesis and publication on near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as a real-time physiological monitoring tool for seals under anaesthesia at the #SMM2022! The talk will be live streamed tomorrow (03/08/22) at 11:00 EDT (16:00 BST) SMRU (now posting at Bluesky)

So grateful to be able to catch up with such an amazing mammal! #SMM2022

A Whale of a reunion at Society for Marine Mammalogy's 24th Biennial Conf; Eckerd College #MarineScience Alumnae Brooke Davis '19, Eva-Maria Bonnelycke '19, Cecilia Thompson '21, Eliza Mills '20, Kelly Cusick '21. urlzs.com/uLKN7 Eva-Maria Shannon Gowans Brooke Davis

Proof that Eva-Maria and Lauren R. Clance and I did more at #SMM2022 than stand under whales to take pictures and, in fact, listened to so many amazing presentations about innovative and interesting research:

'Twas a week of reunions at the #SMM2022!
