The #BirdNamesforBirds proposal to change all eponymous bird names is divisive and very unpopular. See my analyses on public reactions here: osf.io/tnzya
Summer in Fairbanks. An intense experience. An exquisite chorus of a dozen Swainson's Thrushes resounds through the boreal forest, while the sun dances in the treetops. There is no better chorus of an evening. And so, with a good book and some good Scotch another summer is lived.

Time management in Nature today. nature.com/articles/d4158… I wish someone had gotten me to focus on this earlier in my career (I started as a postdoc). It's an ongoing work in progress for me, but there is probably no more important skill to have in academia (at least).
Cats kill ~2.4 billion birds annually in the U.S. Aside from habitat loss, this is the #1 human-caused reason for bird deaths. Save birds and keep cats healthy by keeping them indoors or creating an outdoor “catio.”#LiveBirdFriendly with more tips at nationalzoo.si.edu/livebirdfriend… #WMBD

If you still need to be convinced that we scientists should boycott the predatory publisher @MDPIOpenAccess here is another argument to do so:
Cats 🐈⬛ 🐈 kill 1.85 billion birds 🦜🕊🪶 every year in the #US But no calls for cats to be banned Buildings 🏢 kill 675 million birds Vehicles 🚛🚙 214 million birds We poison ☠️ 72 million birds Wind turbines kill just 328,000 and #climatechange deniers want to ban them!
