Earlier this month we held the second instalment of our 𝗢𝗜 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗟𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 for 2026, ‘The secret lives of Sri Lanka’s giants’, with special guest speaker, OI Adjunct 𝗗𝗿 𝗔𝘀𝗵𝗮 𝗱𝗲 𝗩𝗼𝘀.

Dr de Vos is an internationally acclaimed marine biologist, who has spent years studying the whales that inhabit the waters around her home country. Her research identified a unique population of blue whales that remains in Sri Lankan waters year-round. This challenged long-held assumptions about the species’ movements.

Dr de Vos’s lecture explored the fascinating lives of blue and s***m whales, comparing what we know about the two species, what remains to be discovered and how their lives are shaped by the oceans they inhabit.

Thank you to Dr de Vos, our MCs, and all of our attendees for an engaging evening.

A recording of the lecture is available on the OI YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/DHvowYpVO0U.
