My Binoculars to Binomials courses start in 11 days! You'll get to dive in to truly astounding datasets like eBird, Xeno-Canto, and the Christmas Bird Count. You'll learn techniques for expressive data viz on the web and in real life. And you'll do it all alongside a group of curious learners.

If you're a data viz person and you're looking for a creative kickstart, why not look to the birds? Bird data is as fascinating as it gets, huge in scale and changing every day. It's also profoundly important as we face an uncertain ecological future. Best of all, you can make it yourself!

This is a great set of articles on how the slashing of federal programs and grants across agencies (USAID, USGS, EPA, just to name a few) has affected global conservation. I still think the US has a lot of influence in the conservation realm, but we have lost so much in just one year.

A multicolored quilt made of of scraps with the words WE KNOW WHAT WE SAW staggered down it with a large beautiful eye centered between the words. The eye has a rainbow camera aperture as the iris. It is quilted densely.

How to get into nature.
A four-panel comic titled "how to get into nature". In panel 1, a person kneels in the woods, looking down at a red-backed salamander, and the text says "notice a living thing." In panel 2, the text says "notice some other things that live near it," and there's a starflower, springtail, ant, little wood satyr butterfly, and salamander on the leaf litter. In panel 3, covered in creatures, plants, and a colorful starburst, the text says "Notice the connections between them, discover the wider ecosystem, learn about its histories, and find yourself following links from bedrock to stratosphere, between biotic and abiotic, at scales both microbial and massive, until you’re hopelessly overwhelmed by the wonder of it all." In panel 4, the text says "Fall into a daze and let moss engulf you." The person from the first panel is still kneeling in the woods, looking happy as moss slowly engulfs them, and they're saying "This is for the best."
