World Seabird Conference
"I became captivated by birds at the age of 10, particularly seabirds, with their varied lifestyles and remarkable adaptations to marine environments. Throughout my research career, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with diverse partners, studying a range of seabird species across habitats spanning from the Arctic to the Antarctic. I’m particularly thrilled about delving into their at-sea behavior using cutting-edge biologging techniques. Given the mounting global threats like climate change and HPAI posing risks to seabird populations, concerted efforts are imperative to ensure their survival.“
