Dr. Jim Boran retired in 2021 after working for 22 years on the Researcher Development of postgraduate researchers (MPhil/PhD), postdoctoral research assistants and academics in the Faculty of Science & Engineering at the University of Manchester. This was preceded by 23 years of research into the orca in the Salish Sea (1976-1983), pilot whales in the Canary Islands (1989-1994) and as Programme Coordinator for the Sea Watch Foundation (1994-1999) maintaining the National Cetacean Sightings Database. Jim hopes to return to whale research to explore how cetaceans can drive scientific understanding of complex ecosystems undergoing radical change due to climate change. He intends to do this through supporting researchers studying whales worldwide and to promote the research findings to the wider scientific community. LinkedIn ResearchGate.
