Great. fairly comprehensive article!

With increasing documentation of orca predation events on sharks, I wanted to share my paper that was published at the end of last year on killer whales in The Bahamas! Orcas have always fascinated me, and my paper explores their world through the first-ever drone footage of orcas in The Bahamas, documenting their behaviour. While no predation events were observed, The Bahamas’ shark sanctuary offers intriguing possibilities for orca foraging. Recording these novel sightings and behaviours is crucial to advancing our understanding of these highly intelligent, top ocean predators.

For our October knowledge session on💰Exemplary damages💰, we will be discussing the below article in which the actor William Shatner (famous as Star Trek’s Captain Kirk) describes his experience of journeying into space in real life. He says: “It was among the strongest feelings of grief I have ever encountered. The contrast between the vicious coldness of space and the warm nurturing of Earth below filled me with overwhelming sadness. Every day, we are confronted with the knowledge of further destruction of Earth at our hands: the extinction of animal species, of flora and fauna . . . things that took five billion years to evolve, and suddenly we will never see them again because of the interference of mankind. It filled me with dread. My trip to space was supposed to be a celebration; instead, it felt like a funeral.” Come and join us for our October knowledge session on💰Exemplary damages💰- the registration link is in the comments 👇 #climatechange #legalvoicesforthefuture #lawyers #law #damages https://lnkd.in/ej2yXbSG

“There is a story about a group of blind men who heard that a strange animal had been brought to their village. They wanted to understand what this animal was like, and so although they couldn’t see it, they decided to examine it by using their sense of touch.” This is how Angel Gavin's article about #internalmobility starts. Continue reading to learn the moral of this story and how it is applied in GMV’s internal mobility policy. https://ow.ly/fHNr50Q9qEh #GMVblog

Huge thanks to Kim Wasson for sharing "Unintended Behavior in Learning-Enabled Systems: Detecting the Unknown Unknowns" from Darren Cofer. (Reference: https://lnkd.in/eaVRwwx8) Kim was mentioning the impact of unintended functions in the following panel: https://lnkd.in/eq-pfTXn Other speakers were the following: Noureddin Ghazavi (Nouri), UAM Program Lead for the Office of NextGen, FAA Parimal Kopardekar (PK), Mission Integration Manager for the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Mission, NASA Derek Morgan, Engagement & Support Branch Manager for the Aircraft Certification Service, FAA - 34:50 Derek made a great point about optimizing forward toward more autonomy more verification of assumptions is necessary and again 46:30 - reducing the burden through more information and we must know more information because we must -> "necessarily must know more". Incredible quote. Erick Corona, ConOps & Airspace Ecosystem Development Director for Wisk Aero Dr. Kim Wasson, Autonomy Assurance and Certification at Joby Aviation

Launched in December 2021, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s James Webb Space Telescope has been capturing the most remarkable, never-before-seen images of space. How does it stay protected from the extreme temperatures in space? A custom sunshield, made with five layers of DuPont™ Kapton® polyimide film that are thinner than a human hair and measuring approximately the size of a tennis court, plays a large part in providing this high level of protection. Offering high resistance to heat, Kapton® film remains stable across a wide range of temperatures from -452°F to +752°F and doesn’t melt or burn. Thanks to this sunshield made with Kapton® film, the temperature of the James Webb Space Telescope remains constant and the sun’s heat is reflected back into space. The essential infrared cameras and instruments aboard must be kept very cold and out of the sun's heat and light to function properly. Watch this short video to learn more about the critical role Kapton® film plays in keeping the James Webb Space Telescope protected: http://spr.ly/6044PVZRg #NASA #Space #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope #Aerospace
