A thread explaining our new discovery about humpback whale song published today in Science... We found key statistical properties that characterise all human languages in another species for the first time. We have more in common with whales than we previously thought! doi.org/10.1126/scie...

We uncovered the same statistical structure that is a hallmark of human language in whale song, published today in Science. @inbalarnon.bsky.social @simonkirby.bsky.social @jennyallen13.bsky.social @clairenea.bsky.social @emma-carroll.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Thankful to @ukirsc.bsky.social for the chance to give a talk on my master's research today! 🤓

Hi Bluesky! I’m Amanda. My master's thesis compared 2 beluga whale vocal repertoires from Alaska. Since graduating, I’ve worked as a research assistant in @ellengarland.bsky.social's lab, assisting with her humpback whale research. I'm working on publishing my thesis now -- Stay tuned for updates! 💙
