Whales have the largest brains. 6x the size of humans. They live in clans. Babysit. Gather for birth. And they talk to each other. At SYNAPSE 2025, Giovanni Petri, Scientist @ProjectCETI and AI Researcher, CENTAI, shared how cutting-edge tech like AI is cracking sperm whale…
A key part of @ProjectCETI’s mission is using new sperm whale research to highlight Dominica’s marine industry and conservation leadership. The Dominica Marine Conservation Fellowship equips young leaders with hands-on ocean research experience, including: 🐋 Studying sperm…
🌊 Science fiction? More like science. A new @natgeo article dives into @projectceti’s work decoding sperm whale communication—and the legal ripple effects. Proud to see NhRP attorney Spencer Lo quoted on what this could mean for #nonhumanrights. 📖 on.natgeo.com/4cQyC1j
