Anaïs Remili @anaisremili.bsky.social · 10/10/2025🚨 NEW PAPER 🚨 We show that during warm, low-ice years in the Canadian Arctic, ringed seals exhibit thinner blubber, depleted fatty acids, and elevated metabolic stress. We also show that high PCB and mercury levels contribute to oxidative damage in the liver.sciencedirect.comClimate variations and a local PCB hotspot have altered metabolomic profiles in ringed sealsEnvironmental contaminants and climate change pose ongoing threats to Arctic marine mammals, yet their combined physiological impacts remain poorly un… 1103

Anaïs Remili @anaisremili.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Today, hundreds of NOAA employees lost their jobs. It’s heartbreaking. It feels like a gut punch to my American friends who didn’t choose this, to those of us relying on federal grants to protect our oceans, and to every researcher now caught in this mess through no fault of their own. 181

Anaïs Remili @anaisremili.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Hi 🦋, I’m a French postdoc researcher in Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 I study the impact of contaminants like pesticides and flame retardants on the health of marine mammals, particularly killer whales. I did my PhD on the diet and contaminant risks in North Atlantic killer whales. 4584
