Science Express – Whales research

Science Express takes place on the first Thursday of every month, here at Te Papa.

On Thursday 3 April, Anton van Helden, Te Papa’s Collection Manager, Marine Mammals, talked about current whale research.

Listen to Anton’s talk here:

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?

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