The BehaveAI tool is now live! An easy to use (even I, essentially a tech luddite, was able to) tool for behavioural tracking, even against complex backgrounds. Works across platforms, and for both prerecorded footage, or live feeds! Super proud to have gotten to contribute in a small part of this!

Just a few days left to sign up for our light pollution & insect declines workshop - FREE registration & meals - deadline for registration March 21st, and deadline for expert scan suggestions 22nd. www.visual-ecology.com/events/
