At the age of 7, on a trip to Perc\u00e9, she finds herself face to face with a stranded fin whale. The emotion of this encounter is quickly transformed into initial scientific reflections. What happened next?<\/p>\n<p>A few years later, while at C\u00e9gep and after reading Mich\u00e8le Marineau&#8217;s <em>Cassiop\u00e9e \u2013 L&#8217;\u00c9t\u00e9 des baleines<\/em> which her friend highly recommended, she discovers the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rorqual.com\/english\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mingan Island Cetacean Study<\/a> (MICS) and the student internships offered by the organization. Initially hired for 10 days, she winds up staying 5 years. Drawing from this experience, she returns to the classroom, specializing in behavioural sciences. She joins the American Psychological Association, where she takes a particular interest in behavioural neuroscience and comparative psychology. She goes on to pursue a certificate in veterinary medicine, wavering between medical and cognitive sciences. Her academic career does not stop there, and it is during her master&#8217;s studies in veterinary medicine and animal welfare at the University of Edinburgh that she fully combines her two passions. Today, she is undertaking PhD at Universit\u00e9 Laval and the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al in Animal Welfare Sciences with an emphasis on assessing the well-being of humpback and fin whales.<\/p>\n<p>Current director of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cersi.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sept-\u00celes Research and Education Centre<\/a>\u00a0(CERSI), which she created in 2006, her mission is to assess the well-being of marine mammals, particularly humpback whales, fin whales and harbour porpoises.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAssessing the health status and well-being of cetaceans is complex and part of an ecosystem approach. We collect physical, physiological and behavioural indicators of individuals to draw up a personal portrait of each whale, unlike conservation biology, which focuses on indicators at the population level,\u201d notes the researcher.<\/p>\n<p>She spends her summers at sea: photo-identification, behavioural studies, biopsies and analysis of drone images.\u00a0\u00a0 In the off-season, she returns to the C\u00e9gep de Sept-\u00celes where she works as a professor and guidance counsellor, sharing her passion and expertise with the researchers of tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":44340,"menu_order":0,"template":"page-single-chercheur.php","class_list":["post-42646","chercheurs","type-chercheurs","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Anik Boileau - Baleines en direct<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Health and Welfare As far back as she can remember, Anik Boileau has always been fascinated by marine mammals.
