New paper out now in BOU 👩🏻‍🏫👨🏿‍🏫🧕🏽👳🏽‍♂️ 🌈: how can we estimate spatiotemporal sampling biases in citizen science datasets like eBird or iNaturalist? What effects do biases have on the inferences we make from models built on citizen science data? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

Searching in Chinese identified 114 Chinese-language studies that had not been included in a previous systematic literature review; 97% of 8,680 Cochrane reviews searched none of the five major Chinese databases indexing 2,500 journals. doi.org/10.1186/s13643… #languagebarriers

Large language models (LLMs) are often seen as the silver bullet for solving language barriers. But only a handful of languages may benefit - for 99% of the world’s languages spoken by 1.5 billion people, LLMs still have little to offer: doi.org/10.1038/s41562… #languagebarriers

Very excited for this opportunity to meet old and new people and visit the UK after almost 6 years!

ICCB2025 is now calling fo symposia, forums, workshops and training courses (until 15th Oct) including proposals for bi-/multilingual symposia. Also see information on the measures we are exploring to reduce #languagebarriers participants here: conbio.org/mini-sites/icc… ICCB
