I contributed to a webinar organised by the International Biologing Society on 21 July 2020. You can watch the presentation and hear me and others talk about methods and techniques in biologging science. My talk is called Using HMMs to study the diving ecology of Weddell seals and it starts at 1:26:40 into the video.
