This is a great independent publication to support and provide feedback to.

TotalEnergies abandons US offshore wind, will invest $1 billion in fossil fuel projects reut.rs/4t9eY82

Zotero is outstanding bibliographic software for researchers with large libraries of PDF docs.

This has always been a classic on my list to read and now I can read the new version instead. 🌎

A new study looked at the effectiveness of ultrasonic deterrents on reducing bat fatalities at wind facilities #bats #wind #windwildlife 🧪🌎 www.gregforcey.com/how-effectiv...

Wind farms attract conspiracy theories because they reflect deep anxieties about change. #windpower #renewables #RenewableEnergy #windenergy

I went from finishing my PhD, straight to the private sector and have thoroughly enjoyed my job for the last 19 years. There are so many opportunities outside academia, but I agree, non-academic #careers are not really discussed inside of academia. #AcademicSky 🧪

How does bat activity change at wind turbines across years in the offshore Atlantic Ocean? #offshorewind #bats #batecology #wildlife 🌎🧪

Ideally ambient noise levels should not exceed 65 decibels for a good conversation at a restaurant. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/08/09/i...

The importance of citizen science in #ecology will not only increase with technological advances, but also because of cuts to federally-funded research. 🌎🧪

Thanks to philanthropy and #conservation, the Okefenokee Swamp has been saved from a nearby titanium mine. 🌎 www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

In short, listen to their concerns about #vaccines (without dismissing them), empathize, and offer your personal experience. Help someone make their own decision, rather than telling them what to do.🧪💉

With the summer wildlife season starting, I found this very helpful for understanding the #airquality index values and how to interpret them. 🌎🧪 www.vox.com/climate/2376...

New research shows variation in bat activity among years at offshore wind turbines, with nearly all bat activity occuring in September and October #wildlife #windenergy #bats #offshorewind 🌍🧪

Hundreds of National Science Foundation staffers turned out for a group photograph to celebrate the besieged agency’s 75th anniversary—despite efforts by NSF officials to prevent the picture from being taken. scim.ag/4jcGpIt

Fascinating to see how animals can adapt to our world and use human tools to aid in their own foraging. 🌎🧪 #ornithology #wildlife #wildlifebiology

With concerns about bat fatalities at #windenergy facilities, curtailment (stopping turbine blades) is an effective strategy for reducing collisions. #bats #conservation #wildlife 🌎🧪

As a scientist, I'm very much enjoying the "old twitter". The community here is fantastic. 🧪

Last sighted in 1995, the slender-billed curlew is now considered extinct. 🧪🌎 #ornithology #wildlife #conservation #endangeredspecies

Amazing findings about how bats can use echolocation at large scales 🧪🌎

So nice to see so much interest in @bsky.app! www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/t...

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,175,661! Kinda cool stat!

An experiment is underway in Wyoming, studying a potentially game-changing – and simple – solution to this problem. A wind utility company in Wyoming is trying to make wind turbines more visible to birds by painting just one blade black.

Oh no, not another threat to our honeybees. This time in the southeast US. 🧪🌎 #wildlife

New regulations are out for permitting incidental eagle take at power lines and #windenergy facilities. 🧪🌎 #wildlife #wildlifescience #ornithology

Is there any point to feeds on #bluesky anymore now that we have hashtags?

Great to see critical habitat designated for the #Florida bonneted bat. 🧪🌎 #endangeredspecies

Fantastic research on how great gray owls hunt voles under the snow and the challenges with sound distortion. 🧪🌎 #wildlife #ornithology

Is everyone using the native pipe now and stopping using the magrittr pipe? Seeing more and more examples using the native pipe recently. #rstats

It is fascinating how dendrochronology gives us insight into weather conditions from hundreds of years ago. What's alarming is how narrow the ring for 2023 is, likely due to extreme heat and poor growing conditions. 🌎🧪

A great resource to make sure you're following all the good science-related feeds on BlueSky.

Endangered species are acting as umbrella species to manage climate change. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Incidental eagle fatality observations are useful for understanding impacts from wind energy 🌎🧪 journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Cat owners: please keep your pet inside to save all the native wildlife outside. Thank you. 🧪🌎

A new meta-analysis showing bird displacement across taxa in response to onshore wind. 🧪🌎 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

glimpse() from the dplyr package is so much nicer than str() from baser #rstat. Can’t believe I’ve been missing out all this time.

Biological assessments are critical for understanding the impacts of wind energy projects on listed species. 🌎🧪

Fascinating listen as to why the higher education model has to change going forward. freakonomics.com/podcast/high...

This is awesome: A new USGS interactive map (similar to their terrific wind turbine database map) showing the FOOTPRINT of every utility-scale photovoltaic solar farm in the country (as of the end of 2021). h/t Sammy Roth 🔌💡 eerscmap.usgs.gov/uspvdb/viewe...
