It’s always fun to teach outside of the typical classroom! This afternoon I taught a lab for @uitnorgesarktiske.bsky.social biology bachelor students at the Polar Museum on Marine mammal biodiversity 🐋🦭🐻‍❄️🦦

Excited to have contributed to this study where we tracked 29 sperm whales in the North Atlantic! 🐳 Some traveled nearly 8000km and dove deeper then 1000m! 🛰️🌊 www.nature.com/articles/s41... This is one of my favorite photos taken during this fieldwork of a 🐳 diving under the midnight sun 🌞

Yesterday @antarcticjenny.bsky.social and I had a great time talking with 2nd grade students at Clover Ridge Elementary in Minnesota about our research in the Arctic and Antarctic and life in the Arctic🐋 🐟🌊❄️ 🛰

Great to speak about @bioprotectproject.bsky.social at the 'Research Data & Science Cooperation for #MarineMammal Conservation Beyond Borders' panel at Arctic Frontiers. It’s clear that more collaboration is key for marine mammal research and marine biodiversity conservation🐋 @lmcwhin.bsky.social

At @arcticfrontiers.bsky.social, I'm helping co-host a workshop on 'Exploring future scenarios of #BlueFood systems in Northern Norway'. If you're attending #ArcticFrontiers, join us to explore innovative solutions and envision future scenarios for sustainable blue food systems🐟🌊🌐

I'm excited to be participating in a side event panel on 'Research Data & Science Cooperation for #MarineMammal Conservation Beyond Borders' at @arcticfrontiers.bsky.social next week! I'll be speaking about @bioprotectproject.bsky.social and data driven solutions for marine conservation. 🧪🐋🌊👩‍💻🐟🛰️❄️

Today is my 1 year anniversary of defending my PhD and becoming Dr. Vogel! What a wonderful and exciting year it has been since 💙🐋
