Marine Biologist | Back in academia for a MSc in Oceanography at the UQAR | Marine Mammals Detection with Distributed Acoustic Sensing🎙️🐳
FR/EN (they/them) 🇨🇦
On the way to the station where we'll install the DAS interrogator, made a stop by the Marine Environment Discovery Center for some free shore-based whale-watching. Got faraway belugas, seals and a minke 🐋! #fieldwork #DAS4Whales

Fieldwork started last week for the St. Lawrence Estuary Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) for whales project! We deployed our hydrophone and now the team's gathering from all over for the DAS setup.🤞 the interrogator makes it in time!

Going lobster fishing at 4:30am tomorrow!
I've worked with fishermen before, but have never lived their reality. Now I took a few days off my thesis work. As someone who works to mitigate conflicts between human activities and whales, this feels like a must.

In Fall, a proposal that a colleague and I brewed and developed with collaborators for almost 2 years, was submitted.

In January, to avoid losing the graduate studies grant I'd gotten to work on this proposed project, I took a leap of faith and left my 5 years fulltime job to start a MSc.

I was not aware about this web: allows you to find journals impact factors, quartiles, journal rankings, etc., but also conferences ranking, meetings, workshops, etc. Quite useful

Move beyond ‘publish or perish’ by measuring behaviours that benefit academia
A standardized system to measure contributions in mentorship, collaboration and more could bring about systemic change in science.
