📢 Our new paper is out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social!
A step toward more comparable approaches in bioacoustics! We tested how different acoustic feature extraction and classification methods affect caller ID classification accuracy.

Twas the night before the first AudioMoth deployment of 2025 and not a creature was stirring (except me because I prioritized evening birding over unit programming😂)

Humans are visual creatures. We're missing out on so much because it's currently expensive & technical to visualize sounds.
Please help @galacticpolymath.com finish a web app to change this!
👇 $10 gets you access to the beta app. (Public release will be free, if we can reach our goal!) 🧪🔊 #edusky

Very proud to be a Canadian today. This could well be remembered as Justin Trudeau's finest hour. He was taking exactly zero bullshit and we all know that is the one and only way to deal with a bully. He is a truly excellent crisis prime minister.

I love this flag and I love my country 🇨🇦
On this day in 1965, the new Maple Leaf Flag was raised at Parliament Hill for the first time.
But getting to that point was very difficult. It was a divisive debate to create the flag, that went on for months.
Let's learn more about how Canada got its flag!
