Dear Marmamers As marine mammals face an increasing myriad of challenges that threaten their survival, a multidisciplinary approach is essential for their conservation. As a community, we do research, teach, publish, and seek finding, while trying to accommodate a pressing need for science communication and education, as well as the development of new technologies and analytical tools. Marine mammal conservation, therefore, calls for an inclusive, diverse, and collaborative scientific environment that can effectively draw on the more specialised skills of various people, including early career researchers. We would like to share with you our latest publication, a perspective article, where we (both early career researchers) discuss how collaboration is not only good for conservation, but also for researchers themselves and for promoting a healthy work-life balance. The piece was published in a special issue in Frontiers titled "Solving Complex Ocean Challenges Through Interdisciplinary Research: Advances from Early Career Marine Scientists".
