I’m not sure what is more exciting, getting a paper accepted, or receiving the galleys?

Is it okay to put an "out of office" response on email a week before actually leaving? I'm already overwhelmed

Googling @len_thom today I discovered he is an Australian rules footballer born in 1908, but with an interest in biology, ecology and statistics, and an affiliation at University of St. Andrews. Good to have outside interests

I'm confused how the hybrid @marinemammalogy conference will work this year - if you attend in person, and are giving an oral presentation, do you actually get up and present as well as submit the video 4 weeks early? Or do they just play the videos on a big screen? #Dolphins

Heartbreaking to see a Blainville's beaked whale today with a life-threatening entanglement from a piece of debris discarded with no thought for consequences #Hawaii #Whale

Should @marinemammalogy require proof of vaccinations for the December biennial, given there is a virtual option to attend? @jjkiszka @HImonkseal

@ErinLaBrecq my question relates to both, although this doesn’t preclude exemptions for people who are unable to be vaccinated

I feel like I've been running a marathon. Sadly it is an abstract-reviewing marathon #deadlines @marinemammalogy

Congrats!
More than excited to announce that I’ve been awarded the NSF GRFP 🎊Very much looking forward to joining @danielequs’s lab at Oregon State next fall and continuing my research with @CascadiaRes!

Cuvier's beaked #whales off Cape Hatteras don't stray far from home and spend a lot of their time foraging-check out our new paper in @MEPS_IR led by @heatherjfoley, @KrishnaPacifici, @Swaimz, @AndyAread from @DukeMarineLab + @rwbaird99, D Webster from CRC tinyurl.com/1rxzxkyg

Our paper out today in Biological #Conservation provides guidance on which fishermen are most likely to interact with #endangered false killer #whales, using 11 years of #movement & commercial #fisheries effort data authors.elsevier.com/a/1cXJ9… @marinemammalogy quick breakdown: (1/n)

Dr. Robin Baird gave a presentation to OSU’s @HatfieldMSC on science and management of endangered Hawaiian false killer whales this past week. If you missed it, you can watch the recorded version here! youtube.com/watch?v=mahSHfpE…

Had a maskless @UPS delivery today and a maskless @FedEx delivery yesterday. Guess this means the #pandemic is over?
A good day on the water yesterday #Hawaii #Whale
False killer whales in Hawai‘i do seem to like mahi mahi – yesterday off Lāna‘i we witnessed seven predation events. cascadiaresearch.org/hawaiia… for photos and info on our field effort #endangered #science #mammalogy

Instead of working on revisions on the manuscript, due in two weeks, I'm searching for bird-watching or biologist action figures for my son's 4th birthday. This is the closest I've found so far #procrastination #birds

Almost like there is a relationship between these two variables? #COVID19 #science #WearADamnMask

Teaching a class on #whales or protected species management? Getting your students to develop & submit comments on the Draft Recovery Plan for endangered false killer whales would be a good real-world project. Comments due Dec 15th. tinyurl.com/FKWrecoveryplan #conservation #science
