NEW PAPER ALERT: I'm extremely excited to share my first ever first-authored publication, with Dr. Leigh Torres @GemmLabOSU and Dr. Tim Tinker UC Santa Cruz , estimating sea otter carrying capacity (~4500) in Oregon.

Last week during a #Kelp2Whales research dive in Port Orford, we had a close encounter with a gray whale named Dual! He’s named after the two spots on his dorsal fin, can you find them?🐋

Update on the Oregon Sea Grant funded #Kelp2Whales project with Aaron W. E. Galloway, Ph.D. CTEL @GemmLabOSU Lisa Hildebrand Samantha Persad Lately I've been working to create still photos from dive survey videos. The next step is to analyze the stills and determine species densities!

Dom @GemmLabOSU talking about the potential reintroduction of sea otters back in to Oregon. (Congrats on submitting!) #wmmc19

Just got back home to Claremont, CA!😆 I had a blast in Portland and it was so nice to get to spend a few days in Newport meeting some of the members of @GemmLabOSU in person. Thank you Clara Bird & Allison Dawn for letting me sleep on your floor and driving me around☺️

First - thank you to all who have been part of the research in the following tweets!

This post is a little bit late, but I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone at @GemmLabOSU and From Estuaries to the Deep Sea REU who helped make my summer so incredible🥺. I especially wanted to thank Clara Bird for being the most amazing mentor, EVER! Ty🤗

Kicking off the new 'Ask an Expert' section on my blog is Assistant Professor Leigh Torres, PI @GemmLabOSU Oregon State University, answering questions about studying the health of #graywhales in #Oregon .

Ever have/want to biopsy a whale? I've been invited to present our latest research about the response of humpbacks to biopsy 🐳 in the upcoming Marine Mammalogy Seminar Editor's Select Series. Register➡️facebook.com/events/7013577…

Great science grows out of great partnerships, and here is a perfect example. This dream team, including CEOAS's Dr. Kim Bernard, is learning a lot about how plastics, zooplankton and whales are connected in Oregon's ocean. Dr. Susanne Brander 🐟 🌊 @GemmLabOSU

I had such an amazing time at @portorfordstatn and learned so much about gray whales! Thank you to all who made this possible🐋🦐💙
@MSI_OregonState @GemmLabOSU

Happy to present this work at World Marine Mammal Conference on behalf or Solène Derville Entropie - Tropical Marine Ecology Lab. A great collaboration with lots of folks @GemmLabOSU MMEG_UoA

All are welcome for our public seminar tomorrow evening: 'Modern Whales Living in Urban Places” by OSU Hatfield's Dr. Leigh Torres (@GemmLabOSU)! Weds. Aug 1, OIMB Boathouse, 7 pm.

I’m borrowing the @GemmLabOSU camera and taking some photos of gray whales and sea otters in shallow water and kelp forests while drifting out at Kruzof Island. I’ve taken >1600 photos so far, I might have sprained my shutter finger, LOL. #Kelp2Whales pt 2.
