Rebecca Von Hellfeld. Sentinels of the Sea: Understanding Marine Mammal Health Through Strandings YouTube video by UIK

Had a blast at the @uik-eus.bsky.social #DonostiaSustainabilityForum last week talking about the work our UK strandings schemes @strandings.bsky.social & #CSIP are doing!
📽️ Take a look: youtu.be/uC1CXyGI92I?..

Together, @oceanauk.bsky.social + @zslofficial.bsky.social examined research on harm to wildlife from 1000s of oil spills in UK waters, finding evidence of:

- lung lesions in bottlenose dolphins
- harm to the livers of minke whales
- orcas + dolphins less able to successfully reproduce

Marine Mammals in the Anthropocene: Developing a Systematic Evidence Base of Threats to Nineteen Species Marine mammals are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic threats, yet a global systematic map of the literature for 19 species found both spatial and temporal disparity in research effort between ....

🚨 NEW PUBLICATION! 🐳🎉

Our new review paper, now published in Mammal Review, maps the the literature focusing on threats to 19 marine mammal species, to summarise volume of research, and highlight knowledge gaps (for species, locations, threats).

Excited to present some of the incredible work @zslofficial.bsky.social #CSIP and @strandings.bsky.social are doing and what we can learn from strandings! Come join us at the #DonostiaSustainablilityForum next week!!

Always a pleasure to be part of the #MER2030 MSc Vivas at @pie-upvehu.bsky.social 🤓 exciting to see all the great work done by the students 🎉 well done 2023-2025 cohort, you've done awesome work!

Always lovely to be back in my #happyplace ⛱️

Had a splashing time at #TallShipsAberdeen this weekend with @davinaderous.bsky.social and @rebekkaallgayer.bsky.social, and the team! Showcasing some awesome marine mammal work from our groups, the University's Cromarty Lighthouse Station, and @strandings.bsky.social!

I always enjoy attending the annual #SIME conference. Keeping up to date with all the offshore work, and catching up with great scientists! Yet another lovely event at the @ntlmuseumsscot.bsky.social! #SIME2025 #INSITE #MarineStructures

Thanks that's super kind! :) love the initiative and am looking forward to the next chats!

🏆 I won a thing! Thanks @imascientist.org.uk for a great #STEM initiative, and thanks to all the students who thought I was their favourite scientist this season🥰It's an awesome #outreach intiative everyone should get involved with 💙

🎉 HUGE NEWS: The EU Court has confirmed marine protected areas must be PROPERLY protected from bottom trawling! Countries must act to fulfil their legal duty to safeguard these areas from destruction. This is an absolute WIN for our ocean. 🙌 1/2

Brilliant session this morning on skills in different careers in the NE Scotland with @sulsa.bsky.social ! Thanks to our speakers Dr Kate Gormley, the KTP Centre, Dr Graeme Rogers, and Prof Alistair Kean for a really engaging session and some great chats during the Q&A 👏

Looking forward to today's @sulsa.bsky.social event on Life Sciences in the North East of Scotland at the ONE BioHub 🔬

Thank you @sulsa.bsky.social for making this possible! I can't go on enough about the immense positive impact this has had for me! ❤️

🔬 As part of @imascientist.org.uk, I get to chat to student about my job 🧪 Here's a snippet of my convo with one of the students, a keen bean with some great questions 🦭
#STEM #outreach #womeninscience #engagement

🔬Want to get a life science career in the Scottish NE off the ground? Well I've got the event for you!
@sulsa.bsky.social invited many great speakers from the region, highlighting skills and career paths that helped them establish in this beautiful part of the country!
👇 Why not join us? 👇

Wapping up #MarineForum2025 with an engaging panel discussion and a great closing keynote! Thanks @strandings.bsky.social, @whalesorg.bsky.social and @youth4seas.bsky.social for a lovely day of reconnecting with old friends and meeting new people! See you next year 🌊

Continuing with awesome talks about youth #engagement, whale #disentanglement, and staying human at #MarineForum2025 at the @ntlmuseumsscot.bsky.social run by @strandings.bsky.social @whalesorg.bsky.social @youth4seas.bsky.social 🐳

What're you up on this fine Saturday? I'm having a #SMASSing time at the #NationalMuseumsScotland for the @strandings.bsky.social and @whalesorg.bsky.social #MarineForum2025 🐋 this morning was all about impactful story telling, the limits of understanding entanglement, and how to create change 🌊

Had a great time last week learning more about how to analyse organic contaminants in divers matrices! 🐳 Looking forward to taking our project idea forward! 💪
This would not have been possible without funding from @sulsa.bsky.social ❤️
