I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

There is biological and political urgency for the federal government to put in place effective noise-reduction measures and an emergency order to protect endangered southern resident killer #whales, @LanceBarrettLen of @Raincoast said. #orcas https://t.co/QTlTXqC5Xj

President Jimmy Carter. An accomplished statesman. A peacebuilder. A fundamentally decent man who showed us all what it means to live a life of purpose — to serve.

We are a grateful neighbour.

[Oceans Initiative @oceansresearch]

Thanks @smithsonian! No, orcas (probably) aren’t reviving their old “salmon-hat” trend

Devastated to hear the iconic boardwalk in #TelegraphCove caught fire this morning. It’s been a special place for killer whale researchers & tourists for generations.

Endangered North Atlantic right whales are being killed by ships & entanglement in fishing gear. This new paper by @NEAQ , @NOAA , @FishOceansCAN & others helps quantify the relative importance of those threats to guide recovery https://t.co/QgcxPYgcJ0
