We have a starter pack for scientists using camera traps! 📸 If you work with camera trap data in any way, either collecting data, running ecological models, training CV/ML models, let me know I’ll add you to this list 🎉 go.bsky.app/CbJkbVw

At this point, we can tell w/o aid which student used an LLM to polish their language. I will never penalize for this bc I know the struggle of learning in your 2nd/3rd language BUT I would still rather read smt written in your own unpolished words than read an AI text empty of personality.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

We conducted a scoping review on tick and tick-borne pathogen studies from 4 countries (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Ethiopia) and found that there were huge gaps in all of them - geographic, methods, and inclusion of zoonotic risk were all limited

“Foreign exporters absorbed only 4% of last year’s U.S. tariff increases by lowering prices, while American consumers and importers absorbed 96%.

“Rather than acting as a tax on foreign producers, the tariffs functioned as a consumption tax on Americans.”

This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

The red dot is a baby North Atlantic right whale trying to migrate up the east coast of the United states.

The blue streaks are fast moving shipping vessels entering and leaving New York City harbor.

One collision and the whale is dead.

We need *mandatory* speed limits for these vessels! 🧪🦑🌍

Both perspectives are important and both need each other.

If you do not go into the field, collaborate with those that do.
If you are incredible in the field, find a quantitative friend.

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

Screenshot of a tweet by James Tate reading, “An educated populace is a threat to power.” The tweet includes a quoted graphic stating that ICE is offering a $45,000 signing bonus and $100,000 starting salary, compared to a teacher earning $55,000 in their eighth year with a master’s degree, arguing that education has been intentionally defunded.
