Amazing! I hear only great things about New Zealand - people and wildlife! Hopefully I’ll get over there at some point!

Other physical differences include their beak length, dorsal fin shape, and overall size. They’re related at the subfamily level (Delphininae) but are in different genuses.

They’re different! AWSD span the North Atlantic and have a yellowish patch between their dorsal fin and tail. Common dolphins can be found in most oceans and have an hourglass shape on their sides (illustrated version on the cover of my fav field guide!)

It was an exciting day out on the bank today! I saw my all-time favorite whale (Pitcher) who started breaching and flipper slapping during our trip, and found a pod of Atlantic white-sided dolphins on the way back home 🐬

Salt’s fluke

Salt’s world-famous dorsal fin

The Grande Dame of Stellwagen Bank has returned! Salt is the first named and most well studied of the GoM humpback population and inspired 50+ years of whale research and conservation. We’re very excited to see her back again at her summer home!

It’s still a little crazy to me that whales hang out so close Boston. And I’m so grateful I get to see them all the time 🐋🦑

Got some great looks yesterday at a few fin whales, lots of feeding humpbacks, and this big old Mola hanging out at the surface in #StellwagenBank #whales 🦑

I've wanted to write this article for years. About my and other's struggles to even survive sometime in #academia. Thank you to the amazing editors at @plosbiology.org that gave me the forum to write this piece. #science

It was such a great experience to be on the #RCUK2024 committee!

Massive thanks to everyone who was able to come and make the day so special. From sea fireflies to creating a coral biobank, there was so much more to learn in coral science and conservation!

Honoured to be a plenary speaker at #ReefConsUK this year!

Excited to share insights from a decade of studying & conserving fish #spawningaggregations in #India in my talk titled:

"Site-fidelity: place-based ecology and the case of the squaretail groupers"

In honour of this insane Homotherium cub news, here’s a lovely H. latidens canine we have at NHM London, one of the first discovered in England and among those used by Richard Owen to describe the species in 1846.

Happy #FossilFriday!

Join us at #RCUK2024 at ZSL London on 30th November!

Hope to see some of you there!

I love spotted eagle rays. Love them!

Cover from The Economist from two years ago "Say goodbye to 1.5°C; why climate policy is off target". It has a graphic of the Earth with an apple on its head, and a arrow shot through the Earth.

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting.

Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.
