Humpback calves stay with their moms for about a year. They so often have extraordinary site fidelity - migrating back and forth between the warm water breeding ground where they were born (Hawaii, Mexico, or Central America), and the cold water feeding ground where they learned to get fat fast.

Mandatory Fun
In this line of work, there's the threat of overwhelm/overwork. You know.
To help counter this, we have a team outing every ~3 months, known as #MandatoryFun.
March is yearend for many grant deliverables. It was so wonderful to have a break from work & enjoy one another's company.
