The call for applications has just been released for #CV4Ecology2026!! This three-week intensive program trains ecologists and conservation practitioners to develop their own AI tools for their own data. When: Jan 12-30, 2026 Where: SCBI @smconservation.bsky.social

We're observing #InternationalWomensDay by celebrating the incredible women in #conservationtech and the work WILDLABS is doing to honour this year's theme: #AccelerateAction. 📸: Dany Samwel; MarAlliance; Taty Lopez; Laura Kloepper

Today! Stand Up For Science - Seattle: 12-3pm, Seattle Center, Mural Amphitheatre. #standupforscience

So much science is being deleted & forgotten. It's time for drastic action. We need a scientific 2-pager because: - Length≄Credibility - Strengthening peer review > Removing it - The academic article is outdated Let’s publish our research before it’s too late. 🧪 #ScientificPublishing #AcademicSky

What a way to go out

Seattle folks: Stand Up for Science this Friday!

Today, a broad coalition of scientific professional societies who represent over 92,000 scientists are speaking out against the politicization and demonization of Federally funded science and government scientist jobs. It was an honor to help the Union of Concerned Scientists with this! 🧪🌎

I am incredibly excited to see our SpeciesNet model released!! This represents years of work by the @wildlifeinsights.bsky.social AI team (and completely impossible without the amazing Ștefan Istrate's AI development and implementation). Github: github.com/google/camer... Blog: bit.ly/4i5cKBs

PORCUPINES, the official mascot of anybody who wants friends but doesn't know how to make them

So glad to see these critters getting the attention they deserve! Shoutout to my awesome former advisor for this wonderful interview

so devastating for international wildlife conservation projects

I am recruiting two funded graduate students (1 MS, 1 PhD) to join the lab and the Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences program at Oregon State University! If you are into population ecology and a combination of fieldwork and modeling - then check this out! Please share/repost widely!

Realy nice review on how do #ecologists estimate #occupancy in practice It seems that single-species is the most common model family, #mammals the most common group, and unmarked #Rpackage the most common software #cameratrapping @ecography.bsky.social

🎯 How can we empower scientific discovery in millions of nature photos? Introducing INQUIRE: A benchmark testing if AI vision-language models can help scientists find biodiversity patterns- from disease symptoms to rare behaviors- hidden in vast image collections. Thread👇🧵
