In 2003,a ship strike killed a North Atlantic right whale, revealing the deadly impact of vessel collisions.Biologist Regina Campbell-Malone used the whale’s bones to study how much force whale skeletons can endure.Her research helps guide ship speed regulations to protect these endangered animals.
After a ship strike killed a North Atlantic right whale, her broken jaw and skull revealed the harm of vessel collisions. Former MIT-WHOI Joint Program student Regina Campbell-Malone used this tragedy to model collisions, which now helps guide ship speed limits.
As a postdoctoral researcher, Alexandra Barth, PhD, understands the importance of not getting dissuaded by obstacles you encounter. Read more: buff.ly/5SSdVjZ#WomenInSTEM#MemberMonday
