Taryn is pretty cool. After being accepted and preforming in one of Canadas largest Orchestras she has found herself in Vancouver, BC working with the MMRU at the University of British Columbia. AND she catches drones, for anyone who needs a drone catcher. In this podcast, we talk about her journey to her current postgrad degree and dive into different questions being asked in one of the most cutting edge marine mammal research groups in the PNW.
