Some excellent facts and fun relating to this wonderful bird. An iconic example of how science and conservation can work hand in hand! Delivered by those doing the work! @chuenlee.bsky.social @clairetsui.bsky.social Alessandro Pinto pintofscience.co.uk/event/the-fa...

Happy birthday, p = 0.05! I had a short introductory lecture in statistics for biologists this morning, and then it dawned on me that p = 0.05 is celebrating its hundredth birthday this year.
