i love living in such a beautiful place and i’m endlessly grateful for the opportunities i have. the more i see and love this world around me i can’t help but feel the weight of collective grief bear down even harder. how could anyone look at environment and think it’s worthless and expendable

Big news!
Our latest paper, “Manufacture and use of allogrooming tools by wild killer whales” has been published in “Current Biology”.
This is the first known evidence of a marine mammal making tools out of objects in their environment.

Im trying so hard to be patient with him, but oh man I cant wait to be able to pet him once hes comfortable

Next up for Minke May: Where do we see minkes in the Salish Sea?
A 2024 study compiled sightings from 1976-2019 to show minkes are often spotted near shallow banks. These banks promote upwelling, bringing nutrient-rich water to the surface.

Happy to share #ASLO_ECC article on #Neurodivergence 🌊🪨🧪
This article reflects on the strengths and needs of the neurodivergent community within aquatic sciences. Thank you to the #ASLO_Bulletin for their support along this process
#ActuallyAutistic @aslo.org @geolatinas.bsky.social #Autism #ADHD
it’s so frustrating that every day i’m reminded that higher education was not built for neurodivergent people.
