Welcome to our stories page.
We asked early career whale scientists to contribute to our website by sharing their stories with us, and you. We asked them specific questions to help YOU get an idea of what is feasible in the marine mammal world, how to get there, etc. We made sure to ask our friends to provide some advice for our readers. Each whale scientist is special and has a unique story, but we want to make sure we share all kinds of different stories and try to cover as many different profiles as possible.
Enjoy, and also, please do not hesitate to contact our whale scientists if you have questions! Their contact information will be included at the end of each post.
