I'm becoming more and more convinced that @Office is on its final legs as the go to software suite. While @Microsoft will continue dominating the field, @onedrive and the new @Outlook clearly reduce work efficiency. Can't even copy and paste sometimes.

Yay! This kind of publicity makes you feel a little famous. Thankfully, it’s a simple fan base with similar interests and no paparazzi @Elmore_Ecology @KristineEvans78 @satizqmr.
From our #Methods, Tools, & Technologies track:. A new study explores best practices - altitude, camera angle, & time of day - for surveying animal populations with #DroneImagery. #OpenAccess @Elmore_Ecology @RB_Iglay @KristineEvans78 @satizqmr @MSU_CFR

Neat project with good people! Also, co-advising graduate students rocks. @micheltkohl @UGAWarnell.
PLEASE SHARE: Come study swamp bears in S. GA and the Okefenokee NWR! We are hiring a black bear PhD student (Aug | Jan Start) to be part of a multi-student/postdoc effort to estimate spatial distribution/abundance of bears. Plenty of opportunity for student-led questions.

Please help if you can!! There's a lot of training data needs. We have a similar need for aerial imagery of animals.

Hey Wildlife twitter! (Please RT). We are hoping to improve AI detections for semi-aquatic mammals (otter, beaver, muskrat) but need more training data. 🦦🦫. Does anyone have trail camera photos (examples below) you could share?

Hey potential PhD students. Check out @Elmore_Ecology’s post. He’s a great scientist. Plus, as a new faculty member, you’re likely to gain insights from him that older fuddy duds don’t share such as starting your own lab 🙂.
Please RT! I'm looking for a PhD student interested in grassland #bird conservation! Specific questions open to development. Please contact me for informal inquiries.
