Je n'en peux plus de voir de l'IA générative partout 😐 Regardez-moi ces "dessins". Il est devenu impossible d'effectuer une recherche web sans tomber sur ce genre de truc approximatif, bancal, qui déforme le réel et détruit les métiers de l'illustration.

Welp this is horrifying. These researchers quantified the "stratigraphy" of plastic waste used in Common Coot nests. Using expiration dates, they found one nest that contained 635 (!!!) pieces of trash, including plastic dating back to 1991.

I’ve been seething and grieving since yesterday’s Friday Night Massacre of NIH overheads, a seeming bit of bureaucratic trivial that will in fact destroy the US university system if unchecked. But I want to get away from budgets and rate breakdowns and F&A percentages for a moment. Humor me?

Extinction of experience among ecologists
www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...
This seems directly related to me to the lack of engagement of community scientists in academia, and to the greying of OSS. Capitalism and fascism squeeze out the opportunities for the lower and middle to join in.

Hi bird people! Anybody knows if there is some field evidence of continued skeletal growth in birds? I have some starling data that suggests so for beak and tarsus length and cannot find much elsewhere. Thanks in advance!

The Wild Bird Indicators, using BTO data, have been updated today. It’s not good news. 😔 The ‘all bird species’ index shows an overall shallow decline of 16% since 1970. Find out more ➡️
