Happy Polar Pride!
This year I'd like to draw attention to @500qs.bsky.social - an awesome campaign for making LGBTQ+ people in STEM more visible!
Coincidentally, happy to have played a part making Arctic Pride happen here in TromsΓΈ last week π³οΈβπ #polarpride #LGBTQinSTEM #DiversityInPolarScience
Happy #PolarPride!
Visibility and diversity are so important π³οΈβπβ¨
Iβm proud to be in a field that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community ππ§ͺπ #LGBTQinSTEM #DiversityInPolarScience
Supervisors who invest in positive mentoring relationships with their PhD candidates also reap the benefits for their own research

Reporting from #IBAC2025: where marine mammal fan art meets bioacoustics β all on one very Pinterest-board-worthy poster π¬ ποΈ π
Morning cold plunges keeping me afloat through this marathon week π
We have vastly underestimated the sophistication and capacity of plants.
How little we understand of the #biodiversity that we are fast trashing

Shoutout to the visuals for making the science pop! The design really pulled everything together nicely β¨
Huge congrats to Laela and the Sarasota Dolphin Research team for their win! Fascinating work, and Iβm honoured to be using their dolphin whistle data for my PhDπ¬π§ͺ
Arctic samples, global impact βοΈπ
And colleagues as cool as the area they study π§
Congratulations to the winners of Natureβs 2025 #ScientistAtWork photo competition. The overall winner is a photo of biologist Audun Rikardsen, taken by his PhD student Emma Vogel, scanning the waters for whales near fishing trawlers in the fjords of northern Norway. π§΅ #SciArt #Academicsky π§ͺ
Shoutout to all PhD students out there β βFinish on Timeβ by Γ
sa Burman is the doctoral version of a survival guide!
(spoiler alert: by shifting the focus to how we work)
Anyone down to start a book club to chat about each chapter β a bit of collective academic therapy?

Great #ECSconference2025 preview talk and fantastic visualisation by @emilytgriffiths.com presenting Mel Cosentinoβs work!
This week, our researchers are preparing for fieldwork in Sarasota Bay, Florida, to collect acoustic data on bottlenose dolphins π¬. While prepping the equipment, students from our Acoustic Ecology Lab took part in DTAGs tracking training. They were happy to see how their data is collected! ππ
My first PhD birthday in DK yesterday: a Danish tradition here @marinemammalsau.bsky.social with a flag at my office door, making my workload all festive π©π° π
The Marine Mammal Research Group @au.dk is finally making waves online! π Thrilled to be part of this fantastic team ππ¬π¦
Excited to have contributed to this study where we tracked 29 sperm whales in the North Atlantic! π³
Some traveled nearly 8000km and dove deeper then 1000m! π°οΈπ www.nature.com/articles/s41...
This is one of my favorite photos taken during this fieldwork of a π³ diving under the midnight sun π
I've started a marine mammal reseachers starter pack. It focuses on researchers and labs studying marine mammals. Feel free to ask to be added :) go.bsky.app/MWiR9uS
Please add me, thanks! :)
