Interesting - two thoughts- sample bias, age. A lot of the time when I talk with other full professors from the USA I'm surprised how conservative they can be. Is this the US culture or the system they came through open science is not negotiable in my team and teams I belong to

One of my pet hates is fishers who leave lures and like that entangles wildlife - like this Black Swan from tbis morning. This poor thing had its bill stuck shut with a fishing lure. Luckily I had a friend to hold the bird strady while I freed it - hopefully no major harm done. Pick up your gear!

Wolves hate coyotes and if left undisturbed will kill off roughly 50 to 90% of them in their territorial areas. Coyotes are responsible for about 60% of all livestock losses due to wildlife predation, wolves are responsible for about 1/4 of 1% Do the math. Your better off with the wolves.

Building on ancient observations, 20th century phonologists formalized the sonority hierarchy - vowels are more sonorous than consonants, explaining why syllables have the shapes they do across languages. 📐 Universal principle of syllable structure #SpeechScience #Theory
