<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>What is \"Whale Scientists\"?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Whale Scientists is a blog created by two grad students to share knowledge about whales and dolphins. Our website aims to be a platform where people from all backgrounds can learn a thing or two about marine mammals. We write fun posts about whale science, marine mammal species, and how to conduct whale research.<\/p>

We are all early-career researchers. On top of sharing our knowledge, we wish to help aspiring marine mammalogists reach their goals by giving them tips on becoming whale scientists.<\/p>

Finally, we share the incredible journeys of young whale scientists in our Whale Scientists Stories. We want to give young researchers a voice and a platform to share their knowledge.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>Who do we write for?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

1) People from every background who are interested in whales.<\/p>

2)\u00a0Students who want to work on whales but do not know exactly how to get there.<\/p>

3) People who are curious about whale scientists.\u00a0<\/p>

4)\u00a0People who want to interact with whale scientists.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>What if you want to contribute?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

We are open to any collaboration. If there is a topic you want to write about, we would love to help you publish it here. If you are a whale scientist and want to share your story, we are open to it. Just send us a message via our contact form or on social media.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
