Today, hundreds of NOAA employees lost their jobs. It’s heartbreaking. It feels like a gut punch to my American friends who didn’t choose this, to those of us relying on federal grants to protect our oceans, and to every researcher now caught in this mess through no fault of their own.

Funny enough this morning, I found his biopsy. Crazy to think he’s out there minding his own business, while we’re trying to figure out everything we can about his health!

Still thinking about this big boi, A61, visiting Howe Sound last week. Him and the A42s were far out but it was still magical to see them swing by.

One can only dream, eh?

Happy 🇺🇸 Thanksgiving from Vancouver! What are you thankful for this year? It’s been a stressful one, but I’m grateful for the chance to continue my career in beautiful British Columbia. Wishing you all a cozy and joyful holiday! 🩵💙🩵

I’m also a passionate science communicator, illustrator and TEDx speaker! I love to celebrate early-career researchers and their amazing journeys. I’m also a massive whale nerd, so you’ll find me chatting about random whale stuff all the time!

Hi 🦋, I’m a French postdoc researcher in Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 I study the impact of contaminants like pesticides and flame retardants on the health of marine mammals, particularly killer whales. I did my PhD on the diet and contaminant risks in North Atlantic killer whales.
