Huge congratulations to Jenna Kline on taking first place at the SEC 2025 Student Research Competition last week! An impressive achievement and well-deserved recognition of her work.

Jenna Kline had the chance to attend the SA-FARI kickoff party with her student, Penelope, in Washington, D.C., with ConservationXLabs and Meta. Sentinel camera traps were a huge highlight for the two of them during the event!

During NeurIPS, Sam Stevens had the opportunity to complete an interview with Nathan Lambert, an open-source LLM researcher, discussing Sam's research.
