Dear marman members I'm Biagio, a PhD-student in Marine Sciences at Genoa University (Italy). My PhD project is focused on population genetics of sperm whales of Mediterranean sea. Thus, I'm looking for sperm whale tissue samples (*Skin* and/or *muscle* *stored in Ethanol or DMSO*) from stranded or free-ranging animals of Mediterranean sea. Please contact me if want more information and to be part of my project sharing your samples with me, or send me any suggestion you have also on people that could be interested in!!!! Every kind of help is super welcome ;) I'll be around at ECS in La Spezia next week in case you want to talk about - just send an email or a message on my phone number (whats app also).
