Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Poisoned by the Menu - How what Killer Whales Eat Shapes their Toxic Load
Q: How do you reconstruct what whales ate in the past?
We use stable isotope analysis on growth layers in teeth; as whales age, they accumulate growth layers like tree rings, and by sampling each layer, we can infer annual diet and habitat shifts based on carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios.
Poisoned by the Menu - How what Killer Whales Eat Shapes their Toxic Load
Q: What sparked the transition from photo ID work to measuring contaminants in killer whales?
A pivotal moment came when collaborators suggested leveraging skin and blubber samples from biopsy to study feeding ecology together with toxicology, allowing for a practical and tangible way to connect diet with pollutant loads.
Marine Conservation and Science Communication with Carissa Cabrera, CEO of FutureSwell
Q: What piece of advice would you give someone wanting to blend science and storytelling like you do?
Just start. Don't wait to be an expert; share your perspective, even if imperfect, because your story can reach audiences that others may not connect with. Consistency and care are more valuable than initial perfection.
Marine Conservation and Science Communication with Carissa Cabrera, CEO of FutureSwell
Q: What is FutureSwell's core mission, and how does storytelling fit into ocean conservation?
FutureSwell exists to educate, inspire, and activate the ocean conservationists of tomorrow by making ocean issues accessible and inviting for everyone. We focus on education and storytelling as essential tools to connect people to climate solutions, including policy, education, and media collaborations.
Marine Conservation and Science Communication with Carissa Cabrera, CEO of FutureSwell
Q: What first drew you to the ocean?
I'm not from a coastal background; I grew up landlocked, and the ocean drew me in during a family vacation. The first time snorkeling, I felt like I entered a totally different universe, which sparked a lifelong passion for the sea.
