Can citizen science platforms like #iNaturalist help monitor wildlife disease and mortality? Our new study, published in #Ecosphere, uses the massive 2022 #avianflu outbreak in eastern Canada as a case study! 🦅https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.70051

@jwejeglinski.bsky.social What a fabulous talk that was!!
I hope we can catch up at the conference tomorrow - if not on the birding tour this afternoon.

Has anyone else let a career milestone slip by quietly? Let's hear about it! 🧪
I recently realized I’ve crossed a milestone I almost missed:
50 peer-reviewed publications! 📑📑📑📑📑
This milestone crept up slowly, quietly, in between drafts and revisions and collaborations — and if I’m honest, I nearly talked myself out of acknowledging it at all. 🤷♀️

Avian flu has had devastating consequences on many seabird populations, but after disastrous breeding seasons in 2022-2023, Roseate Terns on Coquet island, UK, produced more chicks in 2024 than ever before. Good news for one of our rarest seabirds. www.rarebirdalert.co.uk/v2/Content/C...

Happy to share this quite monumental paper on the birdlife of my favorite island in the whole world - Skúgvoy or "skua island"
Long story short, seabird declines are drastic and accelerating. Terrestrial bird populations are generally more stable. #seabirds 🧪🌍

A question: Are "Community Science" and "Citizen Science" interchangeable? What country are you from?
I'm hungry for a global perspective. I've heard arguments that 'Community Science" is more inclusive, but only among US colleagues. #ornithology @eBird @iNaturalist
