The next Science Express, on Thursday 1 May, also links to whales. If you’ve watched Search and Destroy in Whales Tohorā and seen the sperm whale hunting a giant squid, you won’t want to miss it!

Couldn’t get to the talk but would love to listen – but I can’t get the link to work – Maybe the . in the title?
Thanks Lucy – all sorted now and normal service has been resumed. Hope you’re not too cold and are having fun at Museums and the Web

This is a really cool site. I really do like whales and I would like it if they would add more about whales!
