In an exciting partnership with the Earth Species Project, we’re working on our ability to understand species, like whales. There could be a number of benefits, and challenges, involved with decoding the language of other animals.
Partnership with the Earth Species Project
The Earth Species Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to decoding animal communication, has teamed up with our lab to explore the complex vocalizations of whales. This partnership brings together cutting-edge technology and expert knowledge in marine biology to tackle the challenges of understanding whale language.
