I can't get over how amazing this invention is.

Dolphin Translator (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/scientists-working-on-humantodolphin-translator-report-first-successful-interaction-9228552.html)

Denise Herzing is a genius. I can't wait 'til this becomes more mainstream! Maybe us mers can one day have legitimate conversations with dolphins! :)

ah yes, we've talked about that one.

It's fascinating (and the woman has landed a dream job lol), however it'll probably be a translator for that specific dolphin species and pod only, as every whale and dolphin family speaks a different dialect.

Excellent observation! I love the idea. Essentially creating a shared language between human and dolphins. :)
