Dear Marmamers,<div><br></div><div>We are pleased to announce the recent publication of our paper in Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry. Our approach will be useful to anyone considering stable isotope analysis of skin and blubber biopsies of fin, humpback and minke whales (or indeed other cetacean species) Click <a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/rcm.6394/abstract;jsessionid=E50C23B3991017ED21DCC0E3E9AF4186.d01t01?deniedAccessCustomisedMessage=&amp;userIsAuthenticated=true">here</a> for link.</div>
