I'm not here, and won't be back. Shame, Twitter used to be great
My wife and I left graduate school 23 years ago with a combined total of $70,000 debt. Since then we've made $500 monthly payments for 23 years ($120,000+). Today, we still owe $60,000. Explain to me again why student loan debt shouldn't be cancelled.
reason #32 to not complete paper reviews until the very last minute: when author's withdraw their paper the day before the review deadline.

AI generated Yellow-billed Loon/White-billed Diver. I think bird artist's jobs are safe. For now

Well done Bruna Amaral for getting this one out! Project started as an undergrad hons thesis by #GettysburgCollege student Julie Blum. "Quantifying regional‑scale impacts of hemlock woolly adelgid invasion on North American forest bird communities." link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Bird/bioacoustics folks. I had students use Merlin to analyze ARU data this year--occupancy data. I'm wondering whether there's any advantage to also trying BirdNet. Site is in Pennsylvania. Would using Merlin rather than BirdNet be frowned upon by manuscript reviewers.
Congratulations 🇮🇳

Artificial lawns should be banned. In the face of a biodiversity crisis, we should be creating habitats, not covering our gardens in ugly plastic where no life can exist. They're non-recyclable, dangerous to pets, the negative list goes on... please sign!! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6331…
Plastic grass should be illegal.
