Question 2 transcript:
"I do mainly echolocation, trying to understand how dolphins use echolocation. Ultimately trying to figure out ways in which we can develop technological sonar that might be modeled after the dolphin, because the dolphin sonar seems to be one of the best, or the optimal sonar for short range, shallow water situations."
