A treat to actually get out into the field today! Thankful for an enthusiastic 90+ year old homeowner who is hosting one of our cameras this summer to study mesocarnivores in urban landscapes!

It was great to be part of the @birdscanada.bsky.social podcast and talk about addressing the threat of cats to birds. It’s a tough one to navigate but one we can solve together 🐦‍⬛

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

On this International Women’s Day, I cannot stop thinking about all the girls in Iran, in Sudan, in Gaza, and so may places — girls whose lives were snuffed out in conflicts they played no part in, before they could ever become women. And I am thinking about their mothers.

Who COULDN’T use some good news? ‘ Scientists with the Yurok Tribe say that two of dozens of condors released to the wild in Humboldt County since 2022, to reestablish the endangered birds, have paired up, built a nest in a redwood tree and appear to be tending to an egg.” #californiacondor

To stand up for human rights while also being part of academia may not always be welcome. But it certainly should be.

Also, 30,000 fake papers out of 1 million+ does not indict or threaten science as a whole. This entire "science is in crisis from within" narrative is a right-wing myth.

For their analysis, the scientists built a database of more than a million scientific papers. They searched for the papers in online forums where sleuths share duplicated images and tortured phrases, as well as the Retraction Watch Database, maintained by the Center for Scientific Integrity.

The researchers compiled a list of 30,000 papers that have either been retracted or show signs of having come from a paper mill. They discovered connections between the papers that strongly hinted that they were the product of large-scale fraud. Many of these connections linked clusters of editors and authors who often worked together.
