A bioacoustician in the make trying to survive her PhD 🖥️🎧
I work with cetaceans 🐬🐳 and underwater noise 🛥️🎤 at @bioacousticsau.bsky.social

I love sperm whales and I have some hundreds of photos of them. I can talk about them for hours

Sir David Attenborough’s latest film reveals the truth about bottom trawling — a fishing method that razes the seafloor like a bulldozer.

This #WorldOceansDay, let’s raise our voices and take a stand.

Pesticides, chemical pollution, loss of habitat, industrial agriculture - they're all driving insect die-offs. But now we're witnessing catastrophic collapse of insect populations in supposedly protected regions of forest; by @tessairini.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...
‘Half the tree of life’: ecologists’ horror as nature reserves are emptied of insects
A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides

Been there, done that. Walked down to and inside an old, inactive volcanic crater.
Beautiful view, wonderful experience and a lot of cow poop to avoid.
Thanks for the experience and adventure, Corvo⛰️

It has been an intense week. A lot of great science, a lot of cool science. I met all sorts of people, heard about all sorts of science and shared my knowledge too. I felt incredibly lucky to experience this #ECSconference2025.
But now it's time to discover these islands, a paradise on earth

Ready to talk about some cool science at this #ECSconference2025 with my first poster at a conference. The place is massive and it barely reflects how much good science will be flowing in, in just two days.
Excited to be here

And with this view from the terrace of the hotel I can say, I'm back. Almost 4 years later and now a PhD, I'm back to where it all started.
Ready to start the adventure of this year #ECS2025 in #PontaDelgada #Azores , #finallywithaposter

The plots of disaster movies that portray the end of civilization often begin with high-level Government Officials ignoring the warnings of Scientists.

One of several lesson learned from the 2.5 hour @Netflix Documentary — Don’t Look Up (2021).

(1/7) 🐋 Remember those humpback calf-perspective videos I used to share? Super cool, but they only showed what the calf’s camera could catch.
What if we could zoom out and see the whole scene?

Sometimes relaxing Saturdays as a marine biologist means trying to draw and paint an octopus 'cause they're just so cute. And smart. I love these guys 🐙 #marinelife #octopus #underwaterworld #drawing #drawingattempts #relax

It happens often when you are in research. It's when you hit hard enough that you get the best ideas 💡

Luckily I got smart colleagues that can make complicated stuff. It's way cooler than it seems. And it's the product of three weeks of burning brain power 🧠🤯

I can never complain about loud neighbors again because today I found sperm whale clicks in our data, so I’ve spent the past 2 hours giddily kicking my feet and blasting them full volume for my whole apartment building to hear 🔊🐳🧪🦑

One of the privileges of this job: getting out on a lovely spring day (finally), with sunshine, fresh air and cute landscapes ⛵🌊. Seeing Denmark from another perspective while saying goodbye to your beloved equipment for three months 👋 #science #research #bioacoustics #acoustics #sea #marinemammals

Don't let people fool you: Denmark is not just a vast flatland. It has hills too 🏔️ (and a beautiful coastline on the west coast). Well maybe I shouldn't reveal the secret, it's such a beautiful not very touristic place (yet)
