Germany may not officially celebrate, but I will take the opportunity presented by today to be thankful for my colleagues in the @enricounigoe.bsky.social research training group. I would not have made it so far without their support and friendship!

There are so many ways to deal with the data I have and I am so tempted by all the rabbit holes of 'other people did it this way'. I think I need to meet with my supervisor...

Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images.

The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.

Very cool (and very worrying) interactive article about fire ants in Sicily, Italy 🐜

A deadly fire ant has reached European shores. The insect invasion could wreak havoc
The red imported fire ant is one of the world’s most destructive invasive species. Can its spread be stopped?

I'm preparing for my talk at #BES2025 and want to know what people think the main goal of applied ecological and conservation research is. If everything goes to plan, I’ll be using the poll results in the talk itself, so the more responses the better! @britishecologicalsociety.org
What do you think the primary goal of applied ecological/conservation research is?

Bat fact: Bats eat their body weight in insects every night. That’s the equivalent of a 180-lb guy crushing 180 lbs of chicken wings before sunrise. Respect the efficiency.

Rainy day fieldwork just got significantly cuter (and tastier sounding!) 🐭! Micaela is out battling the soggy conditions today and looks like she's already found a star: the Edible Dormouse (glis glis)!

Don't worry, we're just collecting data, not dinner🌧️
