Dear members of the MARMAM community,

Join us on Crowdcast for episode 16 of Cetacean Sessions: This year, Bay Cetology is partnering with Whale Scientists. This season is all about new cetacean research generated by passionate early-career researchers.

Cetacean Sessions is a free seasonal bi-weekly webinar series where we discuss impactful cetacean science with those conducting it around the world. It is informal, educational, interactive, and geared towards those studying or interested in cetaceans. Cetacean Sessions was created by Bay Cetology and is being hosted by Anais and Naomi, the co-founders of Whale Scientists.

Cetacean Sessions #16 will happen on Thursday, May 18th, 2023, at 10 am PT. In this must-see episode, we will discuss the following:

  1. Why studying killer whale diets is so important, and what new tools can we use to understand what they eat in the Indian Ocean,
  2. How different diets can impact the fitness of different killer whale ecotypes,
  3. How killer whales may adapt to a changing environment by learning to hunt in a human-impacted environment
Our special guests will be Maeva Terrapon, Chole Kotik, and Emily Hague, all early-career researchers.


The presentation and discussion will be followed by a live Q&A. Questions about early-career tips or experiences are welcome!
