Marine mammal #strandings are obviously tragic events, but they can lead to some interesting and important discoveries too. If a #whale washes up on a beach near you, who ya gonna call?... #MarineMammals #MarineScience #WildlifeHealth #ScienceWeek
Well, although @janeo1000 will probably show up eventually, if you find a stranded cetacean (#whale or #dolphin) in NSW you should actually call the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service on 13000 PARKS (1300 072 757), or the ORRCA rescue hotline on 02 9415 3333. 
In many cases Taronga's ARWH team will roll up their sleeves & get involved! That’s just what they do. If you’re interested in what @janeo1000 and @KarrieARose take to the beach, have a look at this Taronga TV clip:
Day 3 in #ScienceWeek, we’re putting #WildlifeHealth under the microscope. From microscopic blood parasites to #whale postmortems, no 2 days are the same for Taronga scientists Dr Karrie Rose (@KarrieARose) & Jane Hall (@janeo1000) at the Australian Registry of Wildlife Health
Taronga's ARWH improves #Australia's ability to detect and diagnose endemic, emerging and exotic #WildlifeDisease that could have negative impacts on Australia's trade/economy, #biodiversity, tourism and human health.
#WildlifeCSI in the form of diagnostic pathology is a key part of the ARWH work too. It helps in many conservation contexts, including species recovery programs, for state conservation agencies, #wildlife rehabilitators, and scientists. #CSI
