On the way to the station where we'll install the DAS interrogator, made a stop by the Marine Environment Discovery Center for some free shore-based whale-watching. Got faraway belugas, seals and a minke 🐋! #fieldwork #DAS4Whales

Fieldwork started last week for the St. Lawrence Estuary Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) for whales project! We deployed our hydrophone and now the team's gathering from all over for the DAS setup.🤞 the interrogator makes it in time!

Zooniverse The Zooniverse is the world’s largest and most popular platform for people-powered research.

I believe Zooniverse can do acoustics! There appears to be a project about validating AI classifications for birds. www.zooniverse.org/projects/cre...

Captain says it's too windy to go out! We'll try again at 9.

Going lobster fishing at 4:30am tomorrow!
I've worked with fishermen before, but have never lived their reality. Now I took a few days off my thesis work. As someone who works to mitigate conflicts between human activities and whales, this feels like a must.

Hi! Yes, I'd like to join, thank you for the invitation :)

It was SUCH a joy and relief to learn this morning that the project is officially funded!

(A more specific post will come once I get confirmation on how much I can ramble about it, but it's about Distributed Acoustics Sensing 🐋 🔊 🌊 ! ) #whaleconservation #bioacoustics #technology #marinebiology

In Fall, a proposal that a colleague and I brewed and developed with collaborators for almost 2 years, was submitted.

In January, to avoid losing the graduate studies grant I'd gotten to work on this proposed project, I took a leap of faith and left my 5 years fulltime job to start a MSc.

Fair! Although in the eventuality of it being a bot reposting fresh Radio-Canada articles with links to said articles, to me it seems the result is the same, as it brings news from a reliable newspaper on this platform.

It is strictly sharing news strictly from the website, the same ways the other news are. It's also linking the website in their Profil and is followed by other newspapers in the list. Though I don't know how else to verify.

For French-canadians, I'd recommend adding @radiocanadainfo.bsky.social :)

I was not aware about this web: allows you to find journals impact factors, quartiles, journal rankings, etc., but also conferences ranking, meetings, workshops, etc. Quite useful
