Roger Payne, legend of whale biology and marine conservation has died. The world has lost a force of nature.
I wrote a book with Roger in it, he took me under his wing and we became friends.
Here is a small part of the story of this wonderful human.

Dissemination of findings from the ESRC funded Shock Tactics research in Freetown. A research collaboration between @SLURC_FT and @IDS_UK. We learned that the urban poor have limitless agency to initiate change. What they need is leadership. @ARISEHub @ALSWilkinson
Looking for some mind expanding reading? Check out my husband's new book How To Speak Whale exploring the weird and wonderful world of AI and animal communication, and the humbling idea of speaking to other species. I've read it twice and it's really really good 👏
Happy to be included in this list, and good to know our paper was well read (see acknowledgment for contributors!). Pleased to be alongside so many female authors too 👏

How can we measure – or what should we measure – to assess the influence of a paper or journal?
Hard to sum up how exciting this is! @tommustill's book is fascinating, funny and hopeful, plus it's beautifully written and a total page turner. Do read it!
I need to get good at Twitter because I've actually done a book. It took 4 years and “How To Speak Whale” is out in September!
Here's what @ElizKolbert says about it & other big dog @edyong209 s new book in @NewYorker (🤯)👇

See our latest blog on how epidemic response is always political (as @DrSophieHarman @SimuChigudu and many others have already said). Rather, a 'good politics' (Kelley Lee) is needed to continue momentum & build vaccine confidence after this start of the #COVID19Vaccine rollout.
🎉As we celebrate the 1st person in the world receiving the #Pfizervaccine, we mustn't lose sight of the task ahead
💉Getting people to have confidence in it is complicated & requires trust in politics

@ALSWilkinson I believe this is the article you were referring to in our conversation where they state that: "More
leaders of global health organisations are alumni of
Harvard than are women from LMICs." I could retweet so many sections of this paper, it's such a great piece!
Excellent piece by @seyeabimbola and @paimadhu Will global health survive its decolonisation? "Respect and *humility* are vaccines against
supremacy." Spot on! thelancet.com/journals/lance…
