Very arbitrarily, like most decisions in life, I decided to leave my #analog notebook behind while preparing for a three days trip. “I have barely used it in the past weeks” I thought, “I won't even notice it's not there” Guess what? In three days I had a lot of things on my mind.🧵

Have you ever had the feeling that animals do not read your paper? I feel they should, so they'd know HOW TO BEHAVE.

I will accept that Claude has a PhD level intelligence ONLY WHEN it will cite its sources all the time, without being asked! Of course I'm kidding, it has to learn how to cry as well.

I get more out of pushing an idea into existence than almost anything else. It might start with some version of "what if we tried this" before I've fully thought it through, then sent to someone (regret optional). What's the thing that does that for you?

Question: do I know anyone near Nantes who would be willing to pick up a dead gull-billed tern and its logger? L49 has sadly been killed near a road. I’d be very grateful for a picture and the logger and would of course reimburse postage.

Ehi @isbe2026.bsky.social! 😍 If you missed both my talk AND Marina's poster, you still have ONE LAST CHANCE to hear about SHREWS! Francesco is presenting his master thesis on foraging in shrews at 17:45 in Room Berlino! Go say hi! 👇Here he is building snowshrews! @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social

In the morning, the covers are removed & washed, the floors cleaned of any guano. This practice has been in place since the mid-19th century. A similar practice is used in the Palace of Mafra's smaller library, built around the same time. The chiropteran sentries are efficient & inexpensive.

There's a message here, somewhere.

Extract from my notebook with a drawing showing two bars. The first says "Failure bar" and it's full at 100%. The second says "progress bar" and it's half full.
