And a few Spitsbergen landscape shots… 😍🧊❄️

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 📷 🐻‍❄️ 🐋 🦭

The WAVE team (@lmcwhin.bsky.social and I) have been deployed on Longyearbyen, Svalbard! 🐻‍❄️🐋

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?! 😂) attempting to teach myself to like matcha… 🍵 🍓 ✈️

Stay tuned for Arctic content!

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??

There are some benefits to the current unemployment situation 🌞📖🧘‍♀️

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!):

So concludes 3.5 years of #postdoc life in Denmark with the Marine Bioacoustics Lab at @au.dk! 🇩🇰🔊🐬

What a wild acoustics ride that was with some wonderful & smart people!

Onwards to the next adventure… 🚢🔊🐋

How close were the humpback whales today? This close! #BIOPOLE2

Managed to draft a really good sentence for my paper discussion and Microsoft word decided to crash before I got the chance to save it… 🥲

Of course I can’t remember what I wrote now 😂🚫🧠

Love that I got ready for an 8 am meeting on a Monday morning only to be forgotten and not let into the meeting… 🤦‍♀️😅😴☕️

Haha I appreciate the sentiment thank you 😉 - I'd suggest you avoid the coding it'll only bring you additional headaches 🤣

Hi Vanessa!
Could I be added to the list? I communicate science on the impacts and solutions we can use to reduce underwater noise effects on marine mammals! 🐋🦭

Was so obsessed with the Neil the seal videos 😂🦭

I’m kinda resigned to the U.K. now unfortunately as my partners job is here! But if there’s any possibilities of being remote then definitely let me know!

Have you ever wondered what kind of research impacts real-world policy and practice? 💭

@jappliedecology.bsky.social 's new Virtual Issue showcases a range of articles that have led to management changes or have been highly cited in online policy documents! 📚

Next year is going to be a bit turbulent with the end of my postdoc contract in March but I’m excited to discover what the next step in my career is going to be!

I hope everyone has a lovely break! ☺️

Friends, you asked for it and we made it happen!

I now have (at least) 2 shark research expedition fundraiser charter dates available where you can join us as an individual without you having to arrange a whole group!

Be a marine biologist for a day, and support a great cause! Read on for info!
