Updating the #IUCN status of marine fish using AI shows that x5 more species are threatened with extinction than previously thought!

see our study in Plos Biol with @nloiseau.bsky.social

"There has been a progressive decline in fieldwork-based research and education in ecology over recent decades", precisely at a time when we most urgently need a better understanding of how natural systems work. So sad.

Extinction of experience among ecologists
Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

Probably applies to most postgraduate researchers across faculties in most UK universities
If the UK wants to lead in AI, it must fund more PhDs
Universities are the cornerstone of the country’s reputation as a global research hub but the business model is in crisis
