Did you know that you can get trained in IUCN Red List assessment for free online? I have my undergrads do this as a semester-long assignment to understand policy-relevant science. You can do it too! 🧪🦑🌎 www.conservationtraining.org/course/index...

✅ Do you use R or Python? ✅ Are you an ecologist/biologist? Then you might find our website ALA Labs useful! ALA Labs is full of how-to articles to visualise or analyse biodiversity data. Some are for beginners, others are advanced/experimental 😀 labs.ala.org.au 🧪🌏 #rstats #python #quartopub

An animated scroll through an ALA Labs post, showing code, text and visuals to make a data visualisation in R. The article is on how to make a hexagon map of Australia, where each hexagon is an area of Australia, and each point in the hexagon is positioned and coloured to represent a species.

Examples of dataviz that ALA Labs posts show how to make in R. They are colourful and fun. One of them is even 3D!

🦇 I love old pictures of bats and I think I just found my favourite piece of #BatsInArt [Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798-1861)]:

Important piece by Gittleman - “It’s impossible to separate human health from health of the natural world. Ecology is the unifying science that integrates knowledge..[the] One Health approach is unlimited, exciting, & necessary for the health of life on our planet” www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 🧪🌎🌐🌾

Photo of the front page of the paper - showing animals and plants and people encircled across the globe - There needs to be more emphasis on the ecological component of One Health as we consider the problems of biodiversity loss, climate extremes, habitat fragmentation, and emerging disease.
