I'm finding it difficult to figure out where the fine line is of advocating my science and just telling people what the results are. Often we're just told, just tell people to science, but don't advocate for it. And hati really want to do is tell people what we're doing is finding that sea turtles are sentinels. They'lhe telling us shit's going on, and we need to listen to them. But you can't always say that, or you're told not to say that. We have turtles telling us, and their nesting beaches being obliterated, showing us that thi for fucking reel. Pay attention.
Hope you dug tortoises because we’re back, shellin’ out the good stuff, with this week’s encore of sea turtles, so get ready to become wildly obsessed with them. Cheloniologist Dr. Camryn Allen met up with Alie on a tropical island (ok, in a hotel room on a tropical island) to chat about flipper slappings, turtle rodeos, nesting BBs, current surfing, endangered statuses, field work, sleeping under water, world records, boopable noses, male:female ratios, mind-boggling navigation, what you can do to help them, and the many mysteries that still remain. Take a deep dive into the world of seartles. Or is it surtles?
