Hello marine mammal community,

I wanted to make you aware of a new educational video about the 'The humpback microbiome' available free via Science magazine online.  The video is part of the 'XX Files: Extraordinary Science, Extraordinary Women' series, which features 8 female scientists in action: http://specialprojects.sciencemag.org/xxfiles/episode-8/

Also, please help us spread the word about a crowd funding project my lab is pursuing to sequence the microbiome of more whales!  We have 2 days left to fundraise about $600 for this project (tax-deductible, no overhead and therefore all money goes to research!).  You can learn more through this link: give.whoi.edu/goto/whalebuddies

Thanks and happy holidays,
Amy
