Seems like our ScienceBricks to monitor attendance of burrow nesting seabirds should help with at least some of these challenges! @jasonwalczak.bsky.social @robthomasbirds.bsky.social

A recent #linocut of a cupcake #stormpetrel chick! #SuperSeabirdSunday

We are well supervised by the local sheep while weighing our cupcake chicks! #SeabirdSeptember @jasonwalczak.bsky.social @robthomasbirds.bsky.social

That's a much more intricate version of The Stick that we use here (until @jasonwalczak.bsky.social's Science Bricks are perfected and deployed across the colony, ofc.)!

Pufflings navigating the lit night Each year in Newfoundland, Canada, fledgling Atlantic Puffins (“pufflings”; Fratercula arctica ) become stranded in coastal towns during their nocturnal first flights from breeding colonies on...

Yes!

Easy to weigh them in, easy to pack (they fold!), and easy to wipe clean. And very, very cute.

You're a fashion icon, @robthomasbirds.bsky.social!

Although most breeding #seabird fieldwork in the North Atlantic has come to an end, we're still in the thick of it with 12/56 eggs hatched! #SeabirdSeptember @jasonwalczak.bsky.social @trevormaclaurin.bsky.social @felixazurawska.bsky.social @bardseyben.bsky.social

I'd like to say I made a new friend today but this -very fat- #fulmar chick didn't really love being picked up from the road and released back to the ocean where it belongs... My hands will forever smell. @jasonwalczak.bsky.social @annaznoj.bsky.social

If you really want to spend more time than necessary, @kasiawojczulanis.bsky.social can introduce you to the concept of building your CV in R.

It did try to nom @trevormaclaurin.bsky.social

Our not-a- #stormpetrel chick is getting suspicious of us. #puffin @jasonwalczak.bsky.social @trevormaclaurin.bsky.social @bardseyben.bsky.social

The BOU being so on it they beat me to posting about our own paper!

Any folk interested in using bioacoustics to monitor petrels/ #seabirds do get in touch- we're continuing this work at @btoscotland.bsky.social and always keen for more collaborations in this emerging field

solution is, aside from reaching out to experts who may be super busy and overworked. It would be great if there was a platform where experts could collect key literature for their research area. You want to study [topic] - read these methods papers and think about this statistical concept. /End

when you use the entire title. And then there is the sheer volume of new work coming out. As I'm in my postdoc stage, I am moving quickly between topics and I have to read up on new techniques and subjects, but I'm obviously no expert and I will miss key papers or books. I'm not sure what the 3/n

Part of that is experience and knowing what's out there or how the search engines work, and part of it is shitty algorithms. I looked for a paper by @ingridpollet.bsky.social and I used 3-4 keywords from the title and it was still way down on the list. One of mine doesn't show up on Google even 2/n

I found that there are also differences in what you're able to find based on which search engine you use and whether you're good at picking keywords. I've had numerous times that I was looking for information on [XYZ] but couldn't find anything when my prof could find several relevant sources. 1/

But the ai crap is fine. Right gotcha.

We're here until mid-Oct (and the chicks will all still be here, too, because reasons)!

If you need to touch some more storm petrels, I can offer a bed on Nólsoy and some baby European stormies hatching soon!

@ellalillyy.bsky.social can you please follow me? I have a question about one of your art designs, so I would like to send you a dm. :)
