I’m sorry. My Bluesky profile is meant to be mostly about science. But I have to speak up: my country is not okay. We are being ignored, both internationally and by our own authorities. The violence is real, and the world must see this. #Madagascar #GenZ

4/4
We are not okay.
We are not being heard.
The world must see this.

3/4
This is a desperate call for attention. Please, amplify.
Authorities will try to justify themselves, especially for international eyes.

2/4
Videos even show security forces standing by as chaos unfolded.
Was this deliberate?
To tarnish the movement’s image and justify more repression?

(4/7) It’s not perfect. Due to noise and some approximations, the individuals can look shaky or like they bump into each other. But it's all based on real data, and gives an amazing glimpse into their world.

(3/7) Using @blender3d.bsky.social, we turned the sensor data into a full 3D animation.
The calf turns blue while suckling 💙
See what happens before, during, and after nursing, like a drone view underwater. But no drone. No divers. (We would not be able to keep up with a diving whale anyway!)

(2/7) In this video, both mother and calf were tagged with sensors:
📦 accelerometer
🧲 magnetometer
🌊 pressure sensor
No camera needed.
We used their movement data to reconstruct their 3D paths during nursing off Sainte Marie, Madagascar.
