New #paper: #turtles learn the locations of traps, and periodically relocating traps increases capture & recapture rates and improves assessments of population size & community structure. Great job @EthanHollender for leading this one. #Research #Ecology

I was disabled by LongCovid in early 2020. I was mostly bed-bound for the first 2 years. For the last 6 months, I improved a bit, but activity is totally incapacitating. I have cyclical relapses out of the blue. It’s not going away, & I’ve accepted it’s likely permanent.

Yesterday I was part of a discussion on paper writing and I would like to share a tidbit that has stayed with me for many years regarding writing a paper's introduction:
