I've been fortunate to have a network of data freelancers that have been a huge support in my own work.
I've started a list of some of these consultants (in academia, nonprofit, public sector, and industry). If you are looking for help, check out this list!

Ringtails (Bassariscus astutus) are 'runway models' of the raccoon family. Slender with a long bushy tail & pointed muzzle.
Also known as civet cats & "miner's cats", a reference to how easily they were domesticated by miners in the American Southwest to keep shacks vermin-free.

WMF was driving around Point Reyes last night looking for a good spot to see the Aurora Borealis. When we parked the car and got out, we saw some eyes on the other side of the fence. It turned out to be a coyote and a badger. I’m guessing they were hunting together? Or maybe just having a visit.
