To help us dive deeper into the fascinating world of these ocean giants, we’re thrilled to be joined by marine wildlife scientist Dr. Vanessa Pirotta. With a lifelong passion for animals and science communication, Dr. Pirotta is committed to protecting marine life and inspiring future generations of researchers and ocean stewards.
In this fourth session of our Antarctic Dialogues series, we’ll explore:
🔹 Why do whales migrate to Antarctica?
🔹 What role do they play in ocean health?
🔹 How do whales help us understand the Antarctic environment—and beyond?
🔹 What impact are humans having on their world?
🔹 Why is continued research on whales so vital?
Join us for an insightful, interactive discussion with Dr. Pirotta and a community of curious minds passionate about science, conservation, and the future of our planet. Together, we’ll learn more about the critical connections between Antarctica, its whales, and the fragile systems that sustain life across the globe.
