I'm reading Joshua Schimel's "Writing Science: How to write papers that get cited and proposals that get funded". I came across this quote today and felt it speak right to my soul.

As a chronic perfectionist, I always feel the weight of not knowing enough & being right all the time. Wow.

Follow my mallards as they undergo spring migration! Maps updated every few days. Maybe there's one near you...

recieved these amazing photos from Laurie Michelman (littlepeacegallery.com), a photographer that found one of my birds! This bird was banded in 2022 as an adult, meaning she's been alive for over four years now. she's killing it! #birds

This past week I got to band birds in the Dakotas with my roommate. What an awesome experience! I caught and banded my first pintail, wigeon, wood duck, and green-winged teal. I love this stage of life - learning and getting my "firsts". Now, back to the office! #birds #PhDsky 🧪🦆

What a cute lil mallard - just after she took a sip of water! #birds

riding a high as I just started field season and held my first duck - and attached my first transmitter. #academicsky #waterfowl #birds

I saw wood ducks and a common merganser for the first time in Calgary. May have shed a tear. Adding more to my life list :) 🦆🪶

Tried that and it didn't work. The reposts don't show in skyfeed either!

I played around with some things and got them to show up. Now the problem is is that ALL my posts show up there, not just the tagged ones. SkyFeed is so hard to figure out!

next problem...I tried reposting someone's photo and tagging it with the tag, and it didn't show up. Suggestions?

@daryllmarie.bsky.social have you run into the issue of people not showing up on the feed anymore? Since the input list is max 7 days, it seems like the feed kicks people off that I added over a week ago (they're still on the list, posts just dont show).

This was really helpful! I followed all of the rules. But, it still seems like something is wrong. I made a post to appear in it...and it appears on SkyFeed by not on BlueSky. Any ideas?

I just started so I haven't been able to join a field season yet...but these are from last year!

Here's a little photo! It's not REALLY a backpack...but that's the best way to describe it since it has a harness that loops around its wings. And the nice part is that it's completely safe for the birds!

Hey everyone! I'm a Master's student (rolling up to Ph.D.) at the University of Saskatchewan studying mallard duck population and behavioral ecology using GPS / ACC backpack harnesses. As a 22-year-old in the field, I feel new + young, but I'm excited to start my research career. #HiSciSky #PhDSky
