I could not be luckier to have had you by my side this season, @haalimifolia! After three months of braving nocturnal boating and noon-midnight workdays to try our darnedest to learn the ways of the Whimbrels… I think it’s time for a field season recap. 🧵 1/
So grateful for the opportunity to work with the amazing @mainahandmaker & @SCDNR
Coastal bird team - talk about a team of kick a** biologists! I will never forget this Whimbrel field season 💖 I will miss you all 🥲 #Shorebirds #Seabirds #Cleanwater @BlackAFinSTEM

nature has actually contacted me for comment about accusations that Sci-Hub is a threat, here is my full response / it is clear that academic publishers care about their money, not about security of other people

Out today! We describe a previously unknown site in LA that concentrates spring migrants, and is one of the best and most spectacular migration sites on the Pacific flyway for birds:

What role do nocturnal roost sites play in the stopover ecology of #waders like #Whimbrel? Hope you'll tune into my @WaderStudy talk at #IWSGconf tomorrow at 13:00 UTC!

New in @Trends_Ecol_Evo Experiments are the gold standard for causal inference but are hard to do. The ideal experiemnt is rarely possible. What happens then for causal inference? We review 4 common violations of assumptions needed for causal inference in expts & solutions. 1/n

Vaccines work in a gif: COVID19 cases versus vaccination rates in US states through time.
Cases start decreasing after 30% are vaccinated. Today states with higher vaccination rates have less cases. Voted Trump = red Biden = blue. Increase in July probably due to Delta variant.

Thank goodness, hopefully this will prevent people learning that Sci-Hub which hosts 85 million scientific research papers. Absolutely do not search Google for sci-hub to gain access to 85 million scientific research papers for free. Don't retweet this. Piracy is wrong.

Thank you @CramerDeborah, Damon Winter & @CornellBirds for beautifully capturing why it is so important to protect Deveaux Bank. Stunning @nytimes story about our quest to better understand how Whimbrel rely on this unparalleled place.

Join us for a live webinar next Wednesday, June 22nd to hear about the sandbar in South Carolina that hosts nearly half of the Atlantic Whimbrel population every night during peak spring migration. @SCDNR @CornellBirds @ManometCenter #DiscoveryAtDeveaux
BREAKING: Scientists found that tiny Deveaux Bank, SC plays host to nearly half of all remaining Atlantic Whimbrel on their migration routes. Join us on June 22 (6pm ET/3pm PT) for a live webinar with the team. Register here: bit.ly/WhimbrelDiscovery #DiscoveryAtDeveaux

Excited to share our new paper: Deveaux Bank, SC supports at least 19,485 Whimbrel during peak spring migration - the largest known nocturnal roost for the species. Grateful to the whole team that made this possible @SCDNR @CornellBirds @NRSenner @WaderStudy @UofSCBiology
Nocturnal roost on South Carolina coast supports nearly half of Atlantic coast population of Hudsonian Whimbrel during northward migration

Launched by @BirdsCaribbean in association with @BirdsCanada, the Caribbean Motus Collaboration is a new bird monitoring initiative aiming to enable conservation and ecological research by tracking bird movements through the use of nanotags. More: birdscaribbean.org/2021/03/t…

A person’s right to cast their ballot is the foundation of our democracy.
Georgia HB 531 would limit trustworthy, safe & equal access to voting by restricting early voting & eliminating provisional ballots. That’s why Salesforce opposes HB 531 as it stands. #gapol 🗳️
