Extra credit memes for my class are rolling in, and this one, is perfecto. by J. Rodriguez

Wow, was just in a meeting where a researcher was using AI to generate photos of animals in the style of camera traps, at night/day, forested/open, and then used those same photos to train a different AI to autodetect animal species. You can now generate huge training sets!

Diving into the audio from the African Wild Dog uMoth (audio) tags we put on tracking collars last year. Some events are super distinct - others less so. Here's the tail end of a successful wild dog hunt. 🦌

Combing through the audio data from our African wild dog collars & picked up a wild dog - hyaena interaction • The cacophony of noise is dogs eating • The whoop is a hyaena • Shortly after the dogs stopped feeding Hyeanas can often push dogs off a kill. Pups lose their meal?

Help! (again) Trying to download NASAEarthdata's MODIS burned area data so I can calculate the total burned area in each US county weekly from 2000 to the present For analyses looking at the impacts of fire on human-wildlife interactions 🔥Struggling. Any tips? #Tech4Wildlife
