- **Event Description**: Stories from whale baleen: Stress and reproduction across time in the world's great whales

Kathleen Hunt, Associate Professor, Marine Mammal Institute, Hatfield Marine Science Center, Oregon State University

Mysticete (baleen-bearing) whales have very long reproductive cycles, with impacts of stress that can last years, yet it is very difficult to collect enough samples from a free-swimming mysticete to study stress and reproduction across such long timespans. 

MMI's newest professor Dr. Kathleen Hunt has spent the past decade developing a new method to help solve this problem by studying patterns of hormones in whale baleen, the slow-growing keratin strips that form the filter-feeding apparatus in the mouth of the mysticete whales. 

Dr. Hunt will share some of the fascinating stories of individual whales that have emerged from this exciting new field of research, from young  bowheads in the 1800s, to blue whales during WWII, to modern whales grappling with the many changes in today's oceans.
