  1. The first track on my new #album was written as a theme tune for the sentiment against AI slop in the #FAWM Slack channel, where (for reasons which will remain obscure) tools like suno are referred to as cupcakes. Hates them, we does.

    For the #entomologists out there: the buzzing noise that shifts from right to left and back is a slowed-down sample of a Death's-head hawkmoth, acherontia atropos. Because of course it is; that's how I roll.

  3. ‘Half the tree of life’: #ecologists’ horror as #nature reserves are emptied of #insects
    A new point in history has been reached, #entomologists say, as #climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of #pesticides
    The declines witnessed by Janzen and others around world – are part of what some ecologists call “new era” of #ecologicalcollapse, rapid #extinctions occur in regions that have little direct contact with people.

  4. 🪲🪲🪲 Citation alert from a #dung #beettle #paper 🤔🤔🤔

    With Antonio Vallecillo, we already defended the idea of #modeling being a #interdisciplinary discipline (see lnkd.in/etjUgMr6) but I never expected to see my work influencing #entomologists doing research on #dung #beetles. 😁😁

    (btw, the image is not fake but the citation is indeed a mistake, yet another example of the drawbacks of relying too much on #citation metrics for researchers' #evaluation)
