@rbfrncs Love the smilax

I want someone to make a Merlin app but it's just Mark Catesby's descriptions of birds from 1732. "This Bird, by its ungrateful brawling Noise, seems at Variance and displeased with all others" is a great field mark

Check out our 🚨New Paper🚨 in Biological Conservation! A team of conservation scientists from academia, government, non-profit, & corporate sectors designed this set of best practices and risks for biodiversity accounting. Check it out & please share! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@juliet_turner6 holy sh*t this is dark

POV: you are a young woman celebrating a recent academic success

🚨New Paper!!🚨 My colleague and I did a deep-dive into disciplinary siloes around research & practice in water resources management & biodiversity conservation to encourage problem-solving for 21st century problems. Check it out & please share! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

@rbfrncs “God-damn” is my favorite common name for a species ever

Americans used to know birds by thousands of unique local folk names. Ruddy Ducks alone were called dummy duck, dinky, dipper, dopper, dumb-bird, and god-damn. My latest piece is on the joy of folk names and losing them to the bureaucratic formalization of knowledge about birds.

@andrewrypel Terminal lakes are so fascinating & sad

An age old tale: when exports ≠ imports

@rbfrncs This is totally awesome

From 1938 until he died in 1963, my grandpa collected the National Wildlife Federation's annual conservation stamp albums. I never met him, he died when my mom was 11. She passed his collection on to me. It's a fascinating artifact, but also a window into his love for nature.

@rbfrncs It's just a nice genus 😁

You can't be serious

@TSougstad Thanks so much, man. That means the world. I hope you have been super well! I'm definitely going to be sharing more of the content from my blog on here, since I've been staying active for that been woefully remiss about sharing it with my science/nature nerd friends!
