Appreciate I did a pretty rubbish job of updating on @lmcwhin.bsky.social and I’s Svalbard WAVE project adventure to survey marine mammals in the Arctic with HX!

But I’ll make up for it with some snaps πŸ“· πŸ»β€β„οΈ πŸ‹ 🦭

Starting my journey north towards the Arctic as part of the WAVE project (www.wave-arcticwhales.com) in a slightly crazy @edinburghairport.bsky.social (is half of Scotland here today?! πŸ˜‚) attempting to teach myself to like matcha… 🍡 πŸ“ ✈️

Absolutely keen for that! I will need to come down and meet all the cetacean folks down there at some point! :) Hope you're doing well!

Excited to announce I am starting as an Assistant Professor at the Institute for Life and Earth Sciences at @heriotwattuni.bsky.social!

If you’re interested in collaborating on projects focusing on underwater noise impacts to marine mammals get in touch!

Yeh I use R quite a lot for data analysis and making maps but I hadn’t delved into shiny yet (and have been keen to try!) so that’s super helpful to know there are some fairly simple templates and packages to get started with! Thanks for that info ☺️

This is super cool! I’m keen to learn how to use R shiny apps - do you have any good resources for shiny beginners??

Of course! Best option is to look on google scholar under my name: Charlotte R Findlay

But these are two of my latest papers (open access so hopefully you can download easily!):

Haha I appreciate the sentiment thank you πŸ˜‰ - I'd suggest you avoid the coding it'll only bring you additional headaches 🀣
