Studying Whales in the Gulf of Mexico: Collecting Skin Samples for Research

December 8, 2011, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm View more Events

How has the largest oil spill in United States history affected the whales in the area where the disaster occurred? Whales absorb chemicals through the air they breathe, the water they drink, and the food they eat, making them ideal organisms to study when looking for the presence of toxic substances. Join Bob Kuech, professor of science education at the University of Southern Maine, as he shares his experiences researching the whales of the Gulf.
