Janelle Braithewaite an Oceans Institute PhD student has received a $5000 Grant for Research Student Training to visit the Scottish Oceans Institute, University of St Andrews.
She will be in St Andrews for 3 months (April-June), mainly working with Prof. Andrew Brierley on a project investigating the impact of krill harvesting on baleen whales. However, St Andrews University also houses the Sea Mammal Research Unit, and the Research Unit for Wildlife Population Assessment (who have been developing distance sampling techniques), so while she is there she will also be taking the opportunity to discuss her PhD project with experts in these groups.
