Great opportunity to sharpen your skills in the AI, data science, ecology & conservation space! Highly recommend #cv4ecology, after wrapping up a 2-week remote version that was graciously provided in support of our community. Many thanks to the organizers & volunteers for broadening our toolkit!
The call for applications has just been released for #CV4Ecology2026!! This three-week intensive program trains ecologists and conservation practitioners to develop their own AI tools for their own data.

When: Jan 12-30, 2026
Where: SCBI @smconservation.bsky.social

So happy to be able to contribute to this paper and for the US Animal Telemetry Network to be part of such a collaborative group! I'm excited to see our community continue to grow! #biologging #telemetry #opendata 🌐🌊📈
New Perspective:

Establishing bio-logging data collections as dynamic archives of animal life on Earth rdcu.be/d5ril

Davidson et al discuss the importance of standardization, long-term archiving and sharing of bio-logging data, and outline a roadmap to achieve these goals.
