dear quantitative ecology,
Wow. Now that is a fun word to say out loud.
Not that I knew you even existed, but I'm thankful you do.
You were instrumental in publicizing the most glorious Monday morning news I have heard in quite a spell.
The California blue whale population has reached approximately 2200.
They are calling it a conservation success story. And they are calling it historic.
And my heart is singing.
Who knew advanced math and statistics could give me such a boost?
In my mind the humpback whales are singing too.
And I know the blues can feel the vibration of soaring hearts and many sighs of relief.
