"New Far Side comics" was definitely not on my bingo card for this week. They're not bad!

I'm an iNat fan, and a regular user for personal and research goals. This is the first I've heard of this project. It's an admirable goal, and an important goal that can potentially advance biodiversity knowledge and conservation efforts. But I think there are a few issues to think about here... 🧵
Over the next 6 months, iNaturalist will be participating in the Google.org Accelerator: Generative AI program to help build tools to improve the identification experience on iNaturalist. Learn more: www.inaturalist.org/blog/113184-...

It's spring in the northern hemisphere, the flowers are blooming, the sun is peeking out and the bugs are starting to emerge. You know what that means, don't you?

It's almost time for #InverteFest!!!

Share your #invertebrates with us April 24-30.

It's not quite #InverteFest yet, but since this is basically the whole premise of InverteFest, I'll make an exception and share it early.

Go find cool bugs, have fun with friends, and contribute to the conservation of those cool bugs.
Nothing brings people together like the joy of finding a cool bug. You and your friends can be part of real conservation research, all while meeting the wildlife you can help protect.

Elon Musk does not want you to donate to Wikipedia, which is itself a good reason to donate, but the much better reason is that it's Wikipedia. Just donated again last night.
