It is also devastating talking to anxious, soon-to-graduate students about their futures.
So here's to supporting each other as we continue finding ways to do the work the world so desperately needs.
Tweet from Secretary Marco Rubio ( @marcorubio ): "Took an important step forward today to establish enduring peace between Russia and Ukraine. We are using our global strength to unite countries. The United States wants peace. We want the killing to stop. Thanks to Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for hosting." Images: Left: Two men shaking hands outdoors, one in a suit, the other in traditional Saudi attire. Right: Formal meeting with men around a large table, some in suits, others in traditional Saudi clothing, with American flags in the background.
Using our βglobal strengthβ to force an invaded country into concessions with an invader makes us complicit with the invader. Itβs like returning an abuse victim to the abuserβs home. Shameful. Wrong. Un-American.

This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

Mama bear wrestling with her cub. She's got him by the rear paw, nibbling on his toes I guess. They're in spring grass with a tree on the left.
Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it.
So we moved over to blue sky.
Help us build another great following right here where the skies are clear and the water is fine ;-)

I've slowly collected a list of workshops, webinars, and resources for folks pursuing a career in wildlife. It's certainly not exhaustive and it definitely leans California heavy, buts it's my own little way of sharing a field that can often feel hard to get into.. drive.google.com/file/d/1tdn2...

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image.
All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.
Big news from Finnish publication forum. Almost all MDPI and Frontiers journals will be downgraded to level 0 and thus are not considered as properly peer reviewed trustworthy scientific journals.

The ocellated turkey (Meleagris ocellata) is a species of turkey residing primarily in the YucatΓ‘n Peninsula, Mexico, as well as in parts of Belize and Guatemala. It is a relative of the North American wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), although it is somewhat smaller.
