My latest paper about the scientific misdeeds of John James Audubon (#fraudubon) was published today in the Proceedings @AcadNatSci — welcome to the summary thread! @AmOrnith @AudubonSociety @SeattleAudubon. Peer-reviewed paper @ the following link. 1/n doi.org/10.1635/053.16… 
If you’re just catching up — John James Audubon (1785–1851) was a painter & ornithologist who published *The Birds of America* (1828–38), a famous ($$$) collection of 435 life-sized, hand-colored prints of American birds. 🦅🦆🦢🦜🦃 2/n audubon.org/birds-of-ameri…
Audubon was also a con-artist, which societies named after him (@AudubonSociety) have been slow to acknowledge. For years, I've been exposing his fraud & showing how invested parties (often unwittingly) perpetuated his lies for profit. 3/n doi.org/10.25226/bboc.…
