For the past week I have had the privilege of samples these historical leopard seal skulls at the Smithsonian! If you told younger Emily she was going to be doing this…she would have passed out from excitement!!!

Thank you @ScienceMagazine @NewsfromScience for telling our story. Antarctic science is more important than ever in today's changing world. We just feel 'gutted' by this huge loss. science.org/content/article/…
Another awesome leopard seal talk done by our always loud, animated, and amazing PI, Dr. Sarah Kienle 🦭

Congratulations to my amazing PhD student @EmilySperou on publishing her 1st chapter on everyone's favorite species, #leopardseals!
Spoiler: Female leopard seals are larger, eat higher up on the food chain, and have lower cortisol than males.

New publication in @FrontMarineSci 🥳
Check out our new study measuring cortisol concentrations in the Antarctic apex predator, the leopard seal 🦭

I worked with @SJforKids to translate our recent journal article about #leopardseals into kid-friendly language!
Highly recommend this group! It was an awesome experience. Excited to have this out!

Another amazing paper!! 🐟Congrats @PMCharapata 🥳 – at Winter Haven, FL
*New* in ICES Journal of Marine Science.
Using yelloweye rockfish opercula, we assessed environmental and ecological impacts on lifetime trends of female reproduction, stress, and stable isotopes! Open access here: bit.ly/436yFk2

In case you missed it: Women are less likely to be credited for their scientific contributions than men. It’s true across multiple fields & at all stages, with important repercussions for career progress. #WomenInSTEM #WomenInMedicine #MedTwitter

Congratulations to newly minted PhD candidate, @EmilySperou! 🦭🎉 Wonderful talk, and incredible research coming out of the @Sarah_S_Kienle lab!
I am so excited for @ScienceGirl_KJS
You are a rockstar 🤩 – at Waco, TX
I'm SUPER excited to share that I'm joining the Biology & Marine Biology Department at UNCW as an assistant professor in January 2024! This is a dream come true, and the perfect place to continue exploring questions about marine wildlife ecology. @UNCW_BaMB @UNCWilmington

Our project was featured today #takeoverNSF
Happy #InternationalDayoftheSeal! 🦭 We’re here to #takeoverNSF to share our research on one of the hardest to study top predators on Earth - leopard seals!
Ask questions! We’re here to answer! #GlobaLeps
📷: @EmilySperou
We have the best team!!! 🦭
We're a diverse team of scientists from around the world studying how leopard seals are adapting to environmental change. Not much is known about the biology of leopard seals, which is where we come in!
