Wonder what happens at a scientific conference? 🤔 Or just really like marine mammals? 🐋🩵

Come along to the Society of Marine Mammalogy conference with me!

Days in my #PhDlife at #SMM2024 on instagram stories: (at) thecolourfulbiologist

[Natalie Nickells @NatNickells]

Day 1 at #SMM2024 ! Started with a beautiful welcome to Whadjuk Nyoongar land, and, via a whirlwind of incredible presentations, ended with some very moving films. 🩵 I'd love to chat acoustics 📢 predator-prey 🍴 & baleen whale population density🐋!

[Natalie Nickells @NatNickells]

Highly recommend applying for this- @emma_cavan was a fantastic supervisor during my master's and would be great to do a PhD with!

[Emma Cavan @emma_cavan]

Come do a #PhD with me! Deadline 8th Jan to get into some computer modelling on krill biogeochemistry, ecology and the fishery! Plus potential lab work.

@MarineMads Happy Polar Pride Mads!

The pride flag at the North and South Poles for #PolarPride, probably the first time they've ever flown at both places at once. The #LGBTQIA+ community *literally* spans the globe. 🌈 #LGBTQSTEMDay

Great day touring the RRS Sir David Attenborough with @BAS_News yesterday! Managed to get a pic with whale team (@HollyHouliston & @HenrySlesser ) and with krill team (just me and my krill!)

[William Halliday @wdhalliday]

I'm looking for a new PhD student to study #Arctic marine mammals using passive acoustic data from Baffin Bay. Research questions focused on ecology/behaviour and effectiveness of protected areas. Fully funded position, to be based @UVicSEOS. Formal ad coming soon!

[Dr Caroline Clason @Caroline_Clason]

I've worked in glaciology, a field inextricably linked with climate, for 14 years. The decline of glaciers and associated impacts can be genuinely traumatic for people who care. This decision from the British government is like a punch to the stomach. 😞
