Set up a #cameratrap today with my toddler while my wife had zoom meetings. Game trail runs off to the right behind the hackberrys. ImageImage
I like to aim my cameras low to get smaller species. Not interested in deer.
Like this guy! Image

@gabbspalomo is doing a great job highlighting the work of others, so I thought I'd return the favor #TWS2020

While Gabby's talk focuses on jaguar and puma, she notes there is an incredible diversity of carnivores in the Maya Biosphere Reserve, from gray fox and coyotes to tayras and jaguarundis!

2/4 Image
Using camera traps across four protected areas in the MBR, Gabby and colleagues collected over 100 photos each of jaguars and puma, then calculated activity patterns. High overlap between both species, but note differences based on time of day!

A series of Eastern Hog-nosed Snake heads from my MS research. This is my favorite species of snake. Note each is unique, like a fingerprint. Gosh, I miss field work with this species. Which is your favorite? ImageImageImageImage

Maybe it's because these days I'm staying home one day a week with my kids to save money on daycare, but I really hate the "if you work more than 40 hours a week you're doing it wrong" trope on science Twitter.
Sure, work life balance is important, and I am a huge proponent of this. I can't really work more than 40 a week now due to kids, but I used to work 60+ hour weeks and I LOVED IT. It's ok to like science, it's ok to get lost in your work.*
*assuming it's your choice, isn't hurting your mental health, or you are neglecting other aspects of your life.

BUT, saying anything more than 40 hours a week is wasted time that you shouldn't need if you were better at time management is a slap in the face to many.

It's 2020. What can @ssarherps do to get Herpetological Review, probably the most influential journal in our field, indexed on Google Scholar?
Yes, the Endnote library is super helpful and clearly took a ton of work. But that's a 1990s solution to a 2010 problem.
While I'm at it, can we please finally merge @HerpLeague and @ssarherps so we can differentiate the niches of Herpetologica and JHerp and avoid having to join two nearly identical organizations?

Look at this absolute chonker of a tiger salamander larave (aka sallywog) my awesome interns found! #UrbanEcology Image
Also, I understand that some people don't like the use of "my" to denote interns, students, etc. But "the interns I hired, trained, and supervise" seems too impersonal and clinical.
Open to suggestions.
