A new #swifts #ornithology pre-print from BlueGreen Labs: "Moonlight synchronous flights across three western palearctic swifts mirror size dependent prey preferences".

A fun and wildly diverse collaboration with amont others @RevNJ @Lyndon_Kearsley

Seems like our {appeears} #rstats package made it to the last RViews top 40 new CRAN packages round up.

Happy to learn that the @USGS_DataSci team found our {snotelr} #rstats package helpful.

Also, check out their excellent tutorial on how to jazz up your ggplots!

A new @ZindiAfrica #machinelearning competition by acre africa, @CGIAR and @IFPRI is live. Win $10K for automating crop disturbance claim verification, to make smallholder farmers insurable.

BlueGreen Labs was happy to provide back-end #datascience.

BlueGreen Labs is happy to support the NWO OTP project of Qinwen Fan at the TU Delft on a plant-powered #phenocam. The project will use plant-based power, an imaging unit and wireless connectivity for image based #EnvironmentalMonitoring.

Took a wee while but the constructive reviewer comments on this work feel good. Nice #ornithology work by an excellent team moving forward. 🥳

The #trackseabirds team is back in action this week! 10 great shearwaters tagged yesterday- including the first GPS tags we’ve ever put out! Excited to get some new data! #birds #seabirds #Research

UPDATE on the @_BTO recovery. Nestling in #Thetford forest in 2022 now in Kasterlee Belgium. 400km dispersal or still migrating? After ringing 2000 #nightjar finally a recapture of longtime collaborator @conway_greg. Couldn’t be better! 🥳

Teaching a workshop best practices in citizen science (#CitSci) using @the_zooniverse! Looking forward to teaching scientists of @RBINSmuseum & @africamuseumbe.

I am sitting down this week with mentees to discuss papers...brainstorming a bit about tools to help them articulate and address factors slowing progress.

The {appeears} #rstats package is on CRAN. The package provides easy access to the AppEEARS API directly from R.

@LeaGrie @lsf58 Hear hear. But be careful, you might get trolled by Ivory-billed truthers for saying the quiet bit out loud.

[BlueGreen Labs @BlueGreen_Labs]

Curious to see what the future will bring for the status of the species. Although one hopes the species is still around, the evidence presented does not add up given the stakes involved.

From time to time you find interesting scientific discourse happening on twitter (somewhere between the bitcoin scams and AI bros pushing threads with empty ChatGPT advice, here is why 👇).

Now, I present to you the #ornithology case of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker.

Although no conflicts of interest are declared, one does wonder if some careers aren't tied to the existence of the bird. It going extinct would mean a cut in research funding, or conservation opportunities.
