I will forever live under the illusion that fieldwork and any activities therein mean you burn so many calories you can eat as much as you want

Prepping for field season & getting so excited for these giants to return. The ocean is just so quiet without them. I’m so grateful for all the breathtaking encounters I’ve had with these animals (it’s too many to count- how lucky am I? 🥺) I love you whales, see you soon 💙🐋

How can we predict species responses to #climatechange if they are going to experience temperatures that we have not observed yet? New paper in PNASNews led by Ty Wagner incorporates thermal tolerances into statistical models of abundance. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Still buzzing after such an epic fieldwork sesh 🤩 In total, 25 tags have been deployed in iSimangaliso and the positive news is, the mantas look like are being safeguarded within the sanctuary 💙 Thank you to everyone who has supported this project and made it possible!

Just taking a moment to appreciate this unique opportunity as well as the incredible experience that came with it. The place, the people, the pancakes. MAGIC ✨ #PhD #fieldwork

not normally a cetacean person, but saw my first humpback on scuba yesterday in Zavora with Nakia Cullain and MAR Expeditions and it was breathtaking 💙

Couldn’t be more excited to have been selected for this! Thank you Acoustic Tracking Array Platform and Save Our Seas 💙
