@rlmcelreath And I confess that I do not know where to begin

[D K @dkcorvus86]

@rlmcelreath Would love some book recommendations for approaching how to teach freshman/early undergraduates about DAGs, scientific workflows, and how to approach uncertainty. I want to avoid the pitfalls of fitting everything neatly into classical frequentist approaches (like t-tests).

If you are interested in working closely with me to steer the direction of intro eco, evo, organismal bio education & promote scientific competency this post is for you. Plus our department is full of awesome people.

In a first post since 🐦 died...my department at Kennesaw State in metro-ATL is hiring 3 full-time organimsal biology lecturers. Please spread the word to people who may be interested. https://t.co/TRbFpkvNZc

@JasonWardNY 100% quality optics are nice, but birding is so much more.

Still using the $300 pair of Vanguard Endeavors which were my first purchase. I was an amateur then, I'm an amateur now.

@ronfeland @rigger_john @Kinghassy_ @Cbusi1 @joseph89592941 @TheBearJu1 @Timcast Diurnal raptor that is...there is also Spotted Owl (again windmills, not a big cause of mortality)

[D K @dkcorvus86]

@ronfeland @rigger_john @Kinghassy_ @Cbusi1 @joseph89592941 @TheBearJu1 @Timcast In the US there is only one endangered raptor the California Condor and they rarely die from windmills. And 1 threatened raptor (the Hawaiian Hawk)...same deal.

[D K @dkcorvus86]

@ronfeland @rigger_john @Kinghassy_ @Cbusi1 @joseph89592941 @TheBearJu1 @Timcast I can also say with certainty that conservationist and con biologists care about the impact of oil spills, windmills, cats, and window strikes alike.

And window strikes and cats are responsible for many more endangered species fatalities than windmills

[D K @dkcorvus86]

@ronfeland @rigger_john @Kinghassy_ @Cbusi1 @joseph89592941 @TheBearJu1 @Timcast As an avian biologist I can say with certainty you have no cluebwhat you are talking about.

Do windmills kill raptors, yes. But raptors aren't "more endangered" than "small" birds. There are many many many more endangered "small" birds globally and in the US than raptors.

@corvidresearch I missed these, didn't I?

Was a pleasure to be a part of this review and reanalysis of "g" in non-human animals. An amazing effort by Marc and two of UOttawa's finest PIs

[Marc-Antoine Poirier @marca_poirier]

First paper of my PhD is out in @RSocPublishing! Great collaborative effort. We reviewed the evidence for general intelligence in animals and found weak support + highlight some limitations of current methods and provide alternatives (1/5): https://t.co/JDEP3rb62j

[Alfredo Sánchez-Tójar @ASanchez_Tojar]

Our comment on a #metaanalysis on transgenerational effects is out @Ecology_Letters. We identified biases in the search, data & analyses questioning the generality of the results & provided a full reanalysis. We need more transparency in #evidencesynthesis https://t.co/3odpNtzJHO

Teaching an urban ecology capstone next semester and looking for recommendations for required literature. Please share with all your urban ecology minded colleagues

[Ben Sonnenberg (he/him) @Sonnenbird]

Thanks Vladimir!

All the chick-kiddies flock to the cities. More hatch year chickadees found in Ottawa city compared to the surrounding rural areas. Check out our latest in Urban Eclsystems w/@JMorandFerron & @CatJarjour https://t.co/pdKy46VpuM

[ComparativeCognition @Comp_Cog]

Teaching a course on animal learning, behavior, and cognition online any time soon? We wrote a 'how-to' paper for Comparative Cognition & Behaviour Reviews that might help. Preprint is online! Supplementary materials with tons of online resources! https://t.co/YFMxnrhjLZ

Haven't been on here in awhile, but this needs to be shared. Support Black students, support minority students...engage those who are under/unrepresented

[Mya Roberson, MSPH, PhD @MyaLRoberson]

For academics (especially White academics, but this goes for everyone) reading #BlackintheIvory and wondering how you can support Black students and academics here is a thread of things to consider a number which have been especially supportive of my own professional development

[D K @dkcorvus86]

@rosvall_lab @TheTinyBirdGirl Jenny is an amazing suggestion! She is a greta scientist, and awesome mentor, and a really great person!

[D K @dkcorvus86]

Yup, definitely this...

@MBPesendorfer I like the idea of preregistrations for review - to help improve methodology. Preprints, nah. Accomplishes nothing, but publicizing potential garbage.
