Two of our lab members presented their work at the 36^th Annual Conference of the European Cetacean Society in Ponta Delgada, Azores in May 2025. Both presented recent work from their PhD projects on Antarctic fur seals. Petroula presented her work on host-microbiome interactions from birth until weaning, and Ane Liv presented a project using an autonomous fixed camera and a machine learning approach to identify patterns of predator-prey interactions. We thoroughly enjoyed the conference, which featured lots of interesting workshops, inspiring talks and cool discussions!
