I am currently in my final semester of B.Tech computer science. I am more interested in the financing and banking field, than in software. But, my family and friends are pressuring me to look for jobs in the IT companies. I am also considering CAT and banking exams. I am confused about what to do. - Khadir Khan

AI is being applied to whale research, especially to understand what whales are trying to communicate in the audible sounds they make to each other in the ocean. Â
For example, marine biologist Shane Gero has worked to match clicks coming from whales around the Caribbean island nation of Dominica, to behavior he hopes will reveal the meanings of the sounds they make. Gero is a behavioral ecologist affiliated with the Marine Bioacoustics Lab at Aarhus University in Denmark, and the Department of Biology of Dalhousie University of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Â

Clad in a wet suit and diving mask, Jin So-hee’s figure parts the green-blue water until she abruptly dives below the surface, her fins disappearing into the deep.
When she resurfaces one-and-a-half minutes later, her gloved hands grip six or seven sea cucumbers, their spiked backs glistening.

Senior haenyeo, also known as “sea women,” sell seafood they harvested at the port in Busan, South Korea, on April 6.
