• San Antonio Spurs

The other 3 were out of luck.

🌀New paper🌀 Great to see our new OKEON 美ら森プロジェクト paper out today in Global Change Biology! Using an acoustic sensor array 🎤🎵 🐦 across Okinawa island, we found that typhoons 🌀 elicit divergent ecological responses across the island:

Using sound collected before/during/after super-typhoon Trami in 2018, OIST #researchers have discovered that Okinawan ecosystems are surprisingly resilient to extreme #weather . That may change as extreme weather events get worse due to #climatechange 🌀👉oist.jp/news-center/ne…

Excited to announce I'll be delivering a keynote at the 2024 Inclusive Communication Symposium by OIST. Join me and diverse minds in breaking down barriers to inclusion. Submit your proposals and register: groups.oist.jp/c-hub/inclusiv…
