Day 2 at Inkawu Vervet Project and we got started on a new study for my @leverhulme.ac.uk early career fellowship. Also saw a lot of giraffe which was the icing on the cake!

We're thankful to hear that Wisdom, the world's oldest banded bird, has returned to Midway Atoll for the breeding season AND has already laid an egg! At 74+ years old, Wisdom is changing our understanding of #seabird biology. Welcome back & congrats! #ornithology friendsofmidway.org/wisdom-was-s...
Wisdom was sighted near her usual nest site on Kuaihelani (Midway Atoll) on November 26, 2024. Her new mate is now incubating their egg!

Hello Academics. Have you recently decided you need to learn how to securely encrypt and decrypt text and files over open channels. Maybe for GDPR. Maybe to discuss things that might soon be illegal. I made a video for you. About 'data protection'.
