Fermée par l’administration Trump, la plus importante revue scientifique sur la santé environnementale renaît de ses cendres « Environmental Health Perspectives », née en 1972, avait cessé toute activité sur décision du gouvernement américain, et ses riches archives avaient disparu. Une société savante la reprend.

#VeilleESR Des nouvelles du fascisme: quand il attaque la science, il ne se contente pas de couper les vivres, il essaye de la faire disparaître
Ou quand les DOI des articles d'un des principales revues sur l'environnement pointent sur des "error 404"

Hun… this is about Halifax water… municipal.

Oh thank you for that: I thought I was the only one thinking I was drinking marsh water at work. The water is so much better in Cole Harbour. What is that taste about?!!

Pure frontal lobe delusion.

‘I don’t need international law’: Trump says power constrained only by ‘my own morality’ President says morality ‘the only thing that can stop me’ in New York Times interview on limits to his authority

Ummmm, he thinks he has any morality?!

Fuck off imperialist pig. Ridiculous Napoleon complex. Fucking grow up. And you wonder why the world hates you.

Unbelievable. Delusional lunatics.

Hahaha. Yes. Yes. Very surprising.

What a ducking idiot.

So excited to present our python package for real-time annotation and targeting of birdsong!!! Please check it out on bioRxiv!!!!

Described by the American Humanist Association as a lifelong humanist, Rob Reiner grew up without religion and was open throughout his life about not believing in a god, grounding his values instead in decency, empathy, and how we treat one another.

Yes I am anti-fascism. Go ahead, label me. What a stupid way to lose people.

A known potential neurotoxin. Got to love natural selection. Problem here, children will be getting this, more likely to be immune compromised than middle aged adults. This is insane.

So Dalhousie U. … what are you going to do now?

1/2 Pigeons pay attention to where other pigeons are looking

They used a motion capture system to study this. The probability of them paying attention to an object increases with the number of pigeons already looking at it. It is linear, with no quorum or limit

Canada Day pup. The palpable angst is felt by all Canadians.

Hahahahahahahahaha. Awesome dumbest excuse ever. FFS.

Isn’t that a quote from Revelations?
Maybe not…

Canada?

"It’s not a dire wolf. It’s misleading to call it that," Vincent Lynch, an evolutionary biologist at the University at Buffalo, told Chemical and Engineering News. “I can't explain how pissed off it made me, because they're still saying this stuff, and they know it to not be true.”

… you would recommend? I am thinking directional, good recording quality, and sturdy for field conditions.

Ok. Be patient with me. I trust “BlueSky” Science. I used to record wolf and coyotes vocalizations with “old” equipment, borrowed from Fred Harrington (grand sachem of wolf vocalizations). I am getting into waterfowl vocalizations following a long hiatus. What is the basic yet high res equipment…

Gah… I need to know more about this!

Diagram from Herter's Inc. Complete Professional Duck and Goose Calling Manual (1964) of how to use a duck call to make "Greeting Call Number 2." It is a two-dimensional plot, with pitch as y-axis and time as x-axis. The caller makes the smaller font sounds (ex. "HOO") into their call and should hear, like the ducks, the larger font sounds (ex. "QUA").
