In our podcast, we set up the story by focusing on the “WHY” aspect of this research study. We wanted to know about the motivations for this study and what effects acoustic trauma has on Odontocetes. We asked Dr. Morell four key questions regarding the research. We started off asking Dr. Morell to briefly explain what she would like the general audience to know about her research. We know many people may not be familiar with what noise pollution is, so we also asked Dr. Morell to provide us with some examples of this as well as how it affects Odontocetes. To wrap up, we asked a powerful question asking Dr.Morell what motivated her to begin this study in the first place.
