I am really looking forward to this session. As one who has built a career at a research station, I look forward to a co-learning session at the #ESA2025.
Today we ran our Free Introduction to Generalised Linear Models for Ecologists, combining theory with live R demos using real ecological data.

Great course and skill set to develop as an ecologist and all for free? grab your chance here. Thanks @prstats.bsky.social
Not sure if GLMs are right for your research?
This free intro course is the best way to find out.
Taught live by Dr. Niamh Mimnagh and based on our 10-day GLM course.
Includes worked examples and Q&A.

In our latest episode, I had a chat with Adrian, an OTS alum who is a senior at Kenyon.
Listen to his incredible transformative story after returning to South Africa after his initial OTS semester abroad experience.

I am grateful to Bello Danmallam, who collaborated with me in leading the citizen science workshop and field work sessions.
If you ever wonder where the next generation of passionate, skilled conservationists is coming from — look no further than APLORI. 🙌🏾
Grateful to teach, learn, and grow here. Until next time! #BirdsOfAfrica #ScienceInAfrica #TeachingReflections
Beyond the classroom, we dove into citizen science, fieldwork, and group tasks that brought theory to life. The energy, curiosity, and collaborative spirit were just inspiring. So proud of this cohort! 💡📊🧠 #FutureLeaders #FieldBasedLearning
My sessions focused on urban ecology — exploring how cities shape biodiversity, and how we can design urban spaces that work for both people and nature. Loved the thoughtful questions, critical insights, and fresh perspectives from the master's students. 🏙️🌿 #UrbanEcology #TeachingMoments
Just wrapped up an incredible week of teaching at @APLORI in Jos, Nigeria — the only field station in West Africa dedicated to ornithology and conservation biology. Always such a privilege to be part of this space that’s shaping future African conservationists. 🦜🌍 #APLORI #ConservationEducation
Whoop whoop!!

Final Thought
Urban ecology is a story of resilience, adaptation, and coexistence. Let’s reimagine cities as thriving habitats—for all living things. 🌟 #CitiesForAll
Community Involvement
Want to help urban ecosystems? Plant native species, reduce waste, or join local conservation groups. Every small action adds up! 🌿 #UrbanConservation
Current Challenges of Urban Biodiversity
Urban sprawl, pollution, and habitat loss are reshaping ecosystems. How can we balance growth with conservation? Urban ecology holds the key! 🏗️🌳 #EcoUrbanism
Fun Fact
Peregrine falcons, once endangered, now thrive in cities worldwide. Skyscrapers mimic cliffs, making urban landscapes perfect for their nests. Nature finds a way! 🦅 #UrbanWildlife
Why Urban Ecology Matters
Did you know cities are biodiversity hotspots? Understanding urban ecology helps us design greener, healthier cities for people and wildlife. It’s a win-win for the planet! 🌍 #SustainableCities
Urban spaces aren’t just for humans—they’re teeming with life! Urban ecology explores the fascinating ways wildlife and ecosystems adapt to cities. Ready to dive into this dynamic field? Follow along! 🌱 #UrbanEcology
Winter's here, and snow is painting Texas and the southern states white! ❄️ A unique chance to explore how urban biodiversity interacts with winter's touch. From resilient plants to adaptive wildlife, nature’s beauty shines even in the cold. #UrbanEcology #WinterBiodiversity
