Robin Baird

We're ready for #SMM2022! Many of us from CRC will be presenting, and we are involved in a number of presentations led by collaborating institutions on a variety of species and topics. Stay tuned for highlights on our presentations throughout the week!

I’m not sure what is more exciting, getting a paper accepted, or receiving the galleys?

Is it okay to put an "out of office" response on email a week before actually leaving? I'm already overwhelmed

@RichardBarker61 @len_thom That is true, I have seen him wearing shorts that were popular with Australian footballers in the 1930s

@len_thom @rwbaird99 It’s the right shorts and armless t-shirt that gave it away for me. The accent helps too.

Googling @len_thom today I discovered he is an Australian rules footballer born in 1908, but with an interest in biology, ecology and statistics, and an affiliation at University of St. Andrews. Good to have outside interests

I'm confused how the hybrid @marinemammalogy conference will work this year - if you attend in person, and are giving an oral presentation, do you actually get up and present as well as submit the video 4 weeks early? Or do they just play the videos on a big screen? #Dolphins

Heartbreaking to see a Blainville's beaked whale today with a life-threatening entanglement from a piece of debris discarded with no thought for consequences #Hawaii #Whale

@ErinLaBrecq my question relates to both, although this doesn’t preclude exemptions for people who are unable to be vaccinated

Should @marinemammalogy require proof of vaccinations for the December biennial, given there is a virtual option to attend? @jjkiszka @HImonkseal

I feel like I've been running a marathon. Sadly it is an abstract-reviewing marathon #deadlines @marinemammalogy

Congrats!

A podcast on "blackfish" in #Hawaii, false killer, pilot, pygmy killer and melon-headed #whales @marinemammalogy @cascadiares allthingswildpodcast.com/the-blackfish-…

Cuvier's beaked #whales off Cape Hatteras don't stray far from home and spend a lot of their time foraging-check out our new paper in @MEPS_IR led by @heatherjfoley, @KrishnaPacifici, @Swaimz, @AndyAread from @DukeMarineLab + @rwbaird99, D Webster from CRC tinyurl.com/1rxzxkyg

Our paper out today in Biological #Conservation provides guidance on which fishermen are most likely to interact with #endangered false killer #whales, using 11 years of #movement & commercial #fisheries effort data authors.elsevier.com/a/1cXJ91R%7EeL… @marinemammalogy quick breakdown: (1/n)

Dr. Robin Baird gave a presentation to OSU’s @HatfieldMSC on science and management of endangered Hawaiian false killer whales this past week. If you missed it, you can watch the recorded version here! youtube.com/watch?v=mahSHf…

Had a maskless @UPS delivery today and a maskless @FedEx delivery yesterday. Guess this means the #pandemic is over?

A good day on the water yesterday #Hawaii #Whale

Instead of working on revisions on the manuscript, due in two weeks, I'm searching for bird-watching or biologist action figures for my son's 4th birthday. This is the closest I've found so far #procrastination #birds

Almost like there is a relationship between these two variables? #COVID19 #science #WearADamnMask
