Just published in @Ecol_Evol!! Spring migration characteristics, range wide breeding outcomes, capital-income continuum, and more in GWFG!

@amy_a_shipley Congrats Amy!

Excited to share that I started a permanent position as a Research Scientist with the Wisconsin DNR Office of Applied Science! 🎊🎉 I’ll be working with managers to design research to inform conservation and management of waterfowl and other wetland-dependent species! 🦆🛶🦢

Huge thanks to amazing coauthors for all of their work! @MitchWeegman @scunningham929 @toryn_schafer and Twitter-less others!

Second paper from my dissertation out now in @SciReports! Joint use of location and acceleration data reveals influences on transitions among habitats in wintering birds. nature.com/articles/s4159…

@DysonWildlife I should have advertised that a little better!

@Jay_VonBank Could you time a white front pub any better with the media cycle?

Check out our latest work on white-fronted geese! Fun paper with two undergrad coauthors (now MS students!) taking on important parts of this research.

@OPMcKenna Thanks for the invite!

@QingZhao20 @BirdConservancy Congrats Qing!!

Also, I’m going back to Colorado after 8 years including the last 3.5 good years in Missouri during which I wrote 300+ poems, watched all Ozu’s sound films, and drank a bunch alcohol (see below) to join @BirdConservancy.

@DysonWildlife @ducanada Congratulations Matt! Super exciting!

Excited to share I'll be joining @ducanada as a Research Scientist in September. Still pinching myself to have landed the #dreamjob. Can't wait to get started working with colleagues and collaborators #ducks #conservation #wetlands

@LavretskyLab @Duck_Doctor Congrats Josh!!

HUGE congrats for the 1st PhD from the ⁦@LavretskyLab⁩ to ⁦@Duck_Doctor⁩ in successfully defending a fantastic dissertation today!!

My latest contribution to #theBOUblog, featuring my beloved geese. Read all about the success of the greater white-fronted goose in North America. #ornithology #scicomm

Quantifying year-round nocturnal bird migration with a fluid dynamics model. Paper by @rafnuss, @silke_bauer @baptischmi @FelixLiechti, Lionel Benoit & @GMariethoz published in @RSocPublishing #openaccess #ornithology (1/5)

@baddestmamajama @kgurrellis the timeliness!

A good way to tell elder millennials from younger ones is to shriek-sing “PEACHES COME FROM A CAN” at them and see what happens

What do you say to Reviewer #1 who says that Bayesian models with weakly informative priors are equivalent to frequentist models, and you should use the latter because people are more used to them? Asking for a friend.

I finally managed to finish my most ambitious project to date. Years in the making, I am releasing the full material for my 'End-to-End Google #EarthEngine' course under an open license - allowing anyone to learn, teach and adapt it. Check it out at courses.spatialthoughts.com/end-to-end-gee…

Okay movement ecologists, which one best sums up your work? 😁
