. . . Didn’t have to force-feed him, he got through quite a number of dead chicks (it was a cold, wet, spring). After four weeks, we unstrapped the wing and removed the splint . . .

Congrats. And couldn't agree more about the need to look beyond citations in academic journals to tell a positive story about #RealWorldImpact. I wonder how many of these reports from think tanks, NGOs etc cited your work? policycommons.net/search/?q=%2...

Quite right, but this story that no-one reads UN reports is nonsense! Virtually all reports are downloaded >500 times, and a third are downloaded >2k times which compares well with scholarly books and journal articles!
