Productive start of the week getting these pilot whale #ovaries 📸 prepped and ready for MRI scanning UofG MVLS UofG Vet - before they'll be processed for histology and used to develop an #AI model for follicle counts 🫰 UofG SBOHVM Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council funded PhD in action 💪

As part of my PhD I work alongside the Scottish Entanglement Alliance (SEA; SCFF) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🐋🎣🦞 Take a look at the work that SEA are doing to decrease the entanglement of whales and sharks: Nature Restoration Fund Project Showcase: youtube.com/watch?v=7sWPE0…

Had a great time at Dclde conference last week. It was brilliant to catch up on the latest acoustics developments, catch-up with old friends and meet new colleagues 🔊🐬🐋

Fantastic showcasing of all the world leading work happening in Scotland at this years SMM 'Fishing for change' conference in Perth Australia Congratulations to Tim Awbery from @SAMS for winning two prizes and taking home the original conference art to Scotland

Next, we have Tim Awbery presenting their research on using dynamic habitat suitability models to assess the potential risk of entanglement of Minke Whales.

Was great to be back at UKIRSC MarineMammals as a participant rather than an organiser and great to see the new committee smashing it! 🐳 Really honoured to have been voted as the winner of the long-talk - look closely for some amazing photoshop work 😂📸✂️ #workofart Marine Mammalogy

Great to see more publications from Ekaterina Kalashnikova, Davis Orio and Aylin Akkaya coming out on the marine mammals of southern Tanzania. The multi-year study is discovering lots of cool new things about an important, understudied area for cetaceans: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
