One of the best insect monitoring networks in the world. This is the eBMS database summary: - 913,821 visits 🦋🔍 - 10,392 butterfly transects 📝 - 16,805 km walked of transect 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚶 - 318 butterfly species 🦋 monitored of the 496 species observed in Europe

We could not have built this database without all the #volunteers, coordinators and many people involved with passion💚So if you wonder what the point is of #countingbutterflies, be assured that you are not alone, your data do something bigger and help us to protect butterflies!

📢Very excited to announce the new project I'm working on UKCEH! We're going to be forecasting future biodiversity trajectories under different pathways of socioeconomic and environmental change in the UK. We're seeking collaborators on the project; see below to get involved👇

📢 Exctiting job alert! Come and work with Butterfly Conservation 🦋 as a Postdoctoral Researcher working on #climatechange and #butterflies and #moths 🦋🐛💻 Deadline is 7th February. More details here: butterfly-conservation.org/jobs Please share!

What drives innovation in machine learning? In a new paper, we argue that application-driven work is systemically under-valued in the machine learning community, but that it's essential for both innovation and impact. arxiv.org/abs/2403.17381 1/3

Today I decided to get away from my desk & into the field with the amazing #TEELab Asian School Of The Environment team setting up our automated #AI #biodiversity monitoring systems across SG. A super exciting project in collaboration with UKCEH The Alan Turing Institute National Parks Board. Watch this space! 📷 Marx Yim

New paper just dropped! 👇 We looked at the impact of intensive agriculture on temporal trends in the biomass and abundance of flies in Quebec, Canada. 🪰🌾 The work was funded by the @UKRI and Mitacs Globalink grant I received during my PhD. doi.org/10.1111/icad.1… 1/
