Past, Present and Future: The PhD, the Postdoc and the Marine Mammal Commission.

Speaker: Dr Leslie New (CREEM)

Abstract

Having (successfully?) avoided giving a (proper) CREEM seminar over my six years with the department, my last day seemed an opportune time to present my research. Starting with the PhD on birds in Scotland, to a postdoc looking a sea mammals in the Southern Hemisphere, and a future with the Marine Mammal Commission in which I’ll consider species in the Bahamas, state-space models have been the connecting theme. I’ll present finished research, work in progress and ideas for the future in an attempt to make up for my previous years of dodging the presentation bullet.
