@emc_clark @_lrendell I still think about Moomins every time I use the MuMin package

[Zoe Rand @ZoeRand]

Had a great time presenting the work from my first chapter at #ESA2023!

[Zoe Rand @ZoeRand]

Honored to be a part of this program and looking forward to continuing to work on population dynamics models for baleen whales

Check out this cool visualization tool for the IWC catch database!

[Blue whale news @bluewhalenews]

I've been helping two computer scientists (Ameya & Leilani) develop a very cool visualization tool for the IWC catch database called WhaleVis. Here is a poster on our work so far, and a link to the visualization: https://t.co/u1Onj8GHga

PIs are like “I have the worst memory” one second, and then “oh don’t you remember Figure 2, panel C and [insert obscure factoid] in the September 2005 paper from Buchanan in the Abel lab?” the next 🙄

Have plans this Friday lunchtime? If not, check out the next 📈Quantitative Seminar held at #UWSAFS.

@ZoeRand from @UW_QERM is discussing movement rates of Antarctic blue whales 🐋from historical data using Bayesian models.

Join in person or online!

Kept my promise to @MklJMoore at #SMM2022 to buy his book when I got home and put the super cool bookplate he signed inside of it. I'm so excited to read it!

[Zoe Rand @ZoeRand]

Proof that @Eva_MariaB and @LRClance and I did more at #SMM2022 than stand under whales to take pictures and, in fact, listened to so many amazing presentations about innovative and interesting research:

[Zoe Rand @ZoeRand]

Last chance to come talk to me at #SMM2022 in person about how duty cycles affect the information available in PAM data, tonight from 6-7:30 pm. Online folks, check out the poster on the online platform and feel free to send questions in the comments.

Here’s us “breaching” like a humpback as well.

[Zoe Rand @ZoeRand]

#SMM2022 has been a great opportunity to reconnect with folks we haven’t seen in person since March 2020, including a little mini #MSc_MMS_St_A 2020
cohort reunion with @Eva_MariaB . And of course we had to take silly pics with the humpback whale.

'If an intelligent high school student can't understand what you are talking about, the student isn't the problem.'

Michael A Castellini, pressuring those at #smm2022 to use clear language, and talk to the public about our research. It is the only way to get everyone excited.
