What a strong and necessary piece! Mil gracias @darmenteras.bsky.social por hablar por nosotros! Viva a América Latina

📖Published📖 Our new review article by East et al. provides the first comprehensive practical framework for optimizing biological specimen imaging for computer vision applications 🦋 🌍 🧪 Find out more here 👇 buff.ly/TjRPrvD

New paper published in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social! "Optimizing Image Capture for Computer Vision-Powered Taxonomic Identification and Trait Recognition of Biodiversity Specimens" is now online! A huge shout-out to all co-authors for bringing this vision to life. @imageomics.bsky.social

Thats a wrap. That you all for such a great #ESA2025. I have loved my time at Chair of the @esa-earlycareer.bsky.social section, and am so happy to pass the seat to Cait for 2026 🎉

Fantastic time this weekend as the @esa-earlycareer.bsky.social representative to the @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social governing board meeting. #ESA2025 here we go.

The ESA Annual Meeting is right around the corner!! Here are some ECE-sponsored events you can find us at. Can't wait to see everyone! 🌱

Why attend #ESA2025? @alyeast.bsky.social says "It's where I've found mentorship, made lasting connections ... & felt supported by a community that values both science & collaboration." The early-bird deadline is just a few days away -- register by 6/26 & save! www.esa.org/baltimore202...
