Happy 2024! We are kicking the year off with a journal club (that you may have already heard if you are a patron of ours) on the paper “Harassment and killing of porpoises (“phocoenacide”) by fish-eating Southern Resident killer Whales (Orcinus orca)” by Giles et al, plus a handful of clips from our friends!







Content Warning: please note our journal club discussion entails talk of porpoise harassment and killing. This discussion runs from 1:56-23:46 .
