🚨Exciting news! With the Southern Right Whale Consortium, we're developing new AI-powered tech for photo-ID of s. right whales 🐋 This will save researchers countless hours & boost conservation efforts. We're raising $10K for the project—please join us at https://t.co/kN2hDAxiHX

@ICB_Argentina, where @NEAQ MCAF Fellow Florencia Vilches is a researcher, began the 8th edition of the Following Whales Project, which tracks southern right whales' journeys & collects data to inform conservation management. Go to https://t.co/gXqTLtIwoJ for daily updates!

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences.

My lab group is searching for a new 🚨POSTDOC to work on life history trade-offs or fitness consequences of environmental change using an incredible long-term mark-recapture dataset on elephant seals at @ucsc. Review date 8/24. https://t.co/1sBENc9dcT

Excited to share our new publication!📢Five decades of photo-ID by @ICB_Argentina @Ocean_Alliance & the contribution of whale-watching photographers revealed the life histories of #rightwhales tagged by #SiguiendoBallenas in #Patagonia: https://t.co/bDe8tiFNhc

Since Sept 24, the Southern Right Whale Health Monitoring Program has been documenting an unusual mortality event that has killed at least 15 whales. Leading hypothesis for the cause of this sad, ongoing event: toxic algae.

Earlier today we talked about the differences b/w the North Atlantic, North Pacific, & Southern right whale. Here's a specific look at the visibly poor condition of the NARW compared to the Southern, which is affecting their growth & survival. What differences do you spot?
