Jordan is a marine scientist and drone pilot who's work focusses on researching Cetaceans (whales and dolphins) using drones. We talked about a close encounter between a paddle-boarder (not Jordan as I incorrectly said) and four humpback whales, new non-invasive breath sampling techniques and the possibilities of future research into cetacean behaviour. You can find out more about Jordan's work here:
