Fantastic talk by MSc student Isabella Rojas, illustrating her use of Transformers to identify hundreds of species in New Zealand soundscapes, with the use of a customised frequency scale to include ultrasonic audio too. #ibac2025 #bioacoustics

I'm very proud of Ines Nolasco - she passed her PhD defence with flying colours! (aka "minor corrections")
It's been great working with her on animal sounds, individuality, and machine learning. ......... She's now available for postdoc jobs etc. Highly recommended! #bioacoustics

An audience with Dutch politician Frans Timmermans earlier this week. He had a lot of correct things to say about Ukraine, taxes, the ultra-rich, green industries, and feminism. Plus some little jokes about Leiden and Maastricht accents, to settle in.
