Hi Aurelie et al.,

For osteological identification Youri van den Hurk <[log in to unmask]> may be enthusiastic about a visit.

For aDNA, Vicki Szabo <[log in to unmask]> and Brenna (McLeod) Frasier <[log in to unmask]> have an ongoing NSF project - and the SEACHANGES Marie Skłodowska-Curie ITN may soon lead to capacity within its network. There are several options for ZooMs (e.g. York, Copenhagen, Manchester and soon Cambridge).

Perhaps this is also a good place to remind everyone that the abstract deadline is 1 MAY for the ICAZ Marine Mammal Research Group workshop (Cambridge 20-21 Sept 2019):
