Thanks #nets2025 for a fantastic conference! Impressive how much science was packed into 2 days (+ early career workshop). Our @biovitenskap.bsky.social group shared results from the tropics to the Arctic, & zooplankton to whales & polar bears! 🐳🐻‍❄️ w/ @julia-gieb.bsky.social @khuongdinh.bsky.social

An honour to be invited by @miljodirektoratet.no to present our research on pollution (& other stressors) in Norwegian whales! 🐳 Fun to connect with old colleagues & discuss how results can be converted into actual change (e.g. chemical regulations). Research is nothing if nobody hears about it!

hahahah this is so so true 😂

People always ask me : “Cristi, how do you manage parenting a baby while going up for tenure?”

It’s easy. The secret is *flow-based-scheduling*. Here are its three core strategies for new academic parents:

Sleep when the baby sleeps
Cry when the baby cries
Publish when the baby publishes

It was great to meet future @biovitenskap.bsky.social students at the @uio.no open day last week! I gathered some beautiful photos and videos from fieldwork with #norwegianorcasurvey to give an impression of how it is to do killer whale fieldwork in Norway!🤩🐳

The V International Symposium on Orcas was the largest EVER gathering of orca researchers! 🌍🐳
I met so many talented & inspiring scientists, and presented research from our Forskingsrådet project MULTIWHALE @biovitenskap.bsky.social @uio.no
Thank you NAMMCO for funding my travel 🙏

Happy #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience to all the kickass #womeninSTEM 🙌💪❤️

One stereotype I love to smash is when people ask who (i.e. which man) is driving our research boat… 😉 I had fun making this reel last year, 5 months pregnant 😎💪

Let’s continue to break barriers together 🫶👊

Thanks for a fantastic conference NSFT!
A great opportunity to share our work on killer whales 🐳 at @biovitenskap.bsky.social @uio.no & #norwegianorcasurvey in a fun, inclusive and relaxed environment ❤️ Take note, other conferences!😉

A fascinating new study from a great team of scientists, including @bellareeves.bsky.social and @meyer-sci.bsky.social!

They isolated killer whale DNA from the wounds of dead white shark that washed up in Australia without its liver:

Whale Scientists @whalescientists.bsky.social · Jan 28

New research reveals the extraordinary energy demands of humpback whale mothers, who travel over 3,000 miles without food to birth and nourish their 2,600-pound calves, a feat now further imperiled by climate change and marine heatwaves disrupting their critical food supply.
