Wish I'd had access to something like this back in the day when I was tracking animals in the field. If you have some cool data to show the world, try it out!

Absolutely brilliant afternoon of 'Discover Insects' for #NationalInsectWeek 2022 @BristolBioSci - so fun and rewarding to talk about our research and explain cool insect biology to folk of wide range of ages and backgrounds. Thanks to my super team of helpers!!

[Raff Mares @raffmares]

Super excited to have joined the @proforest team as a Data Analyst! Looking forward to diving into their data on all things to do with responsible production and sourcing of commodities

Hey @BristolUni look at this photo & zoom & look at ages of those on strike outside the LSB @BristolBioSci

They’re young ones, being hardest hit by cuts on pay & pension AND also being hardest hit with strike pay deductions & yet they STRIKE @Bristol_UCU @ucu

They WILL win

Really pleased that this @ioelephants interactive map showing 20 years of gorilla tracking data is now live on the @SavingGorillas website and at their museum in Rwanda!

What a privilege to have worked with the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund team and their data.

20 yrs of gorilla movement data, visualized!🦍🐾

We’re proud to have created the tech behind this fascinating exhibit showing the movement of different mountain gorilla families over the last 2 decades.

Special thanks to @raffmares for creating this!

🐾The Marvellous Mongooses game is here! 🐾

New 100% hand illustrated game, based entirely on real behavioural research with the @MongooseProject team @UniofExeterNews, funded by @NERCscience

Have a play and grow your pack! https://t.co/hYaZuRn25Q

Have you tried #trajVis yet? A free, open source #MovementData visualiser and video recorder from @ioelephants. We’ve just released a new version with some tweaks to make it easier to get started!

@SHOALgroup @sagebrushchick good point - we should add an error message. And thanks for trying it out!

@sagebrushchick Thanks for trying it out! The spider monkey data in the GIF has just over 271,000 rows and takes ~12 sec to load, but speed might vary a bit by machine. One trick to speed things up could be to remove unnecessary columns

Our paper on reproductive senescence in #tsetse is out now in @Ecology_Letters! We asked whether age-related declines in offspring quality are affected by female nutrition or mating experience in this extraordinary fly which gives birth to live young (1/n) https://t.co/Yql0NwNhXd

Hi Everyone, I’m excited to present “Mobile games: A promising digital frontier for behaviour change” on how we can leverage 📱 games for conservation.

If you like games this is the talk for you!

Work supported by @OTEConservation @ioelephants & @InsideNatGeo #SSWGTC21

@nadia_cci Muchas gracias Nadia!

[Raff Mares @raffmares]

A remarkable gorilla’s life story and a case for opening up the data that underpins this (and many other wildlife stories) to benefit conservation – I thoroughly enjoyed writing this piece! @ioelephants @LucHoffmannInst https://t.co/8x0lKEiFgr
