One more on this latest from @whalesorg.bsky.social Our longevity paper has been picked up by >150 news outlets. This is the first time this aspect - what it helps with inference on #rightwhales and #offshorewind - appears Wind *can't* have impacted this huge difference in lifespans 🐳🌍🦑 1/2

"the data we used started in the 1980s and cut out in 2020.
