Over one billion (with a B) birds die from collisions with sheet glass each year in the U.S. alone, sometimes immediately but often from their injuries. An ecologist shares some simple steps you can take to reduce collisions: buff.ly/d1Oe7fL #Ornithology 🐦

I keep seeing continuous time data made discrete for analysis, when it could just be analyzed in continuous time (as collected). But I think there is a lack of software and instructional support in biology/anthropology? So bump bump

Since we are still talking about interactions, I worked with some ecologists a couple of years ago on measurement scale, interactions and interpretation issues. I think some problems arise from failure to distinguish prediction from inference, a chronic problem in ecology imo doi.org/10.1111/brv....

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."
