So much science is being deleted & forgotten. It's time for drastic action.
We need a scientific 2-pager because:
- LengthβCredibility
- Strengthening peer review > Removing it
- The academic article is outdated
Letβs publish our research before itβs too late.

Today, a broad coalition of scientific professional societies who represent over 92,000 scientists are speaking out against the politicization and demonization of Federally funded science and government scientist jobs.
It was an honor to help the Union of Concerned Scientists with this! π§ͺπ
I am incredibly excited to see our SpeciesNet model released!! This represents years of work by the @wildlifeinsights.bsky.social AI team (and completely impossible without the amazing Θtefan Istrate's AI development and implementation).

a nighttime photo of a woman wearing a fleece jacket and a headlamp. she is smiling and looking down at a large porcupine she is holding in her arms. the porcupine is safely anesthetized and is being handled for research purposes.

Realy nice review on how do #ecologists estimate #occupancy in practice
It seems that single-species is the most common model family, #mammals the most common group, and unmarked #Rpackage the most common software
