[MARMAM] REMINDER: SMM evening event on the science of free-ranging and captive killer whales
This is a reminder of the upcoming panel discussion at the 20th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals. If you want to submit a question, please do so by 30 November. At that time the question site will close so the panelists will have time to review the relevant scientific literature that can inform their discussion on the questions raised. As noted previously, all questions submitted and the questions selected for panel discussion will be posted on the Society web site. The previous email regarding the details of the 12 December evening event is repeated below a well as instructions on how to submit questions. The goals of this session are: 1) To provide an overview of scientific data collected from free-ranging and captive killer whales; and 2) to offer an opportunity for experts to discuss comparative aspects of killer whale biology in these two environments and the implications thereof. The panel members are Drs. Doug DeMaster, Dave Duffus, Robin Baird, Mark Orams, Judy St. Leger, and Naomi Rose. The facilitator will be Dr. Doug Wartzok. This evening event welcomes questions from all conference registrants - to use the hour allotted for the discussion most efficiently, questions will be submitted in advance via the conference website. If you have registered for the conference, please go to My Conference Accounthttp://www.marinemammalscience.org/index.php?option=com_contentview=articleid=587Itemid=65, log in, and submit your question. All questions or comments that are submitted via this page will be made public to all members prior to the conference and are not anonymous. The working group that is organizing the session (Doug Wartzok, Helene Marsh, Nick Gales, and Naomi Rose) will select a set of the questions that encompass salient, scientific aspects of the issue. We encourage an open and respectful dialog on this important and controversial topic. Please be considerate in your questions and comments. Any offensive remarks will be removed from the site. If you have any questions please contact the SMM Committee of Scientific Advisors at smm.scie...@gmail.commailto:smm.scie...@gmail.com.
