Movie Day in class today aka Timbits & Tissues. We aired Last Of The Right Whales as part of the conservation conversation. Sharing work done across the North Atlantic, by our lab & our many brilliant colleagues trying to save the North Atlantic right whale. #Whales #Conservation #NARW #Teaching 🐋 🌎

I will! For February I gave myself a #watercolour #challenge - to do one small watercolour painting a day (a medium I have not really played with since childhood) and it has been so fun to add a little creativity to my evenings!

Huge thank you to @eubalaenagina.bsky.social for giving me the Sirenia 101 crash course this morning! Her extensive knowledge and fun facts had me in awe - I hope I can inspire the students as much next week when I teach them! #Teaching #Learning #MarineMammals #Conservation #Inspiring

This week I taught my first full lectures to an UG class I am co-teaching. It was thrilling & a little nerve racking to be the ‘Professor’! Ultimately I loved it & I think the students did too! Now if I never have to try to pronouce Otariidae, Odobenidae, or Phocidae again that would be great (jk!).

I just upgraded to Zotero 7, and WOW, @zotero.bsky.social, this redesign is phenomenal! It looks so modern and streamlined. The smart reference popup and new annotation types are brilliant! #Citations #CitationSoftware #Zotero #Academia
