Usually I don’t highlight stories outside our area, but Sunday the NY Times did an article on whales that did a pretty concise job of a layman’s overview to the issues and concerns that whale researchers are facing. The possibility of human/whale communications is the focus of the story, but it lays out a simple history and overview of such problem areas as sonar being the cause of whale strandings.
