Dear Marmam-readers: I would like to inform you of our newly launched website for Murdoch University's Cetacean Research Unit www.mucru.org "Today, Murdoch University Cetacean Research Unit (MUCRU) launched a new website and public engagement strategy using social media to communicate and share scientific research that is accessible and exciting. In it, we profile our areas of expertise, major research projects and publications, and provide detailed information on lab members and collaborators. Blogs and social media are a key components of the new MUCRU website offering a transparent view of research projects 'from the field' and all of the latest news from the lab including information about workshops, publications, and overall advances in the field of cetacean research. Designed by earthOCEAN <http://earthocean.tv> , a leading science communications media company, and with a new logo by renowned natural history illustrator Uko Gorter, the aim of this online initiative is to provide a platform to share exciting advances in the areas of cetacean research in Australia and elsewhere as they occur.
