We are offering a 5-day PhD course in Ecological entomology and climate change 4-8 October 2021. Great international group of teachers in beautiful Mols Bjerge, Denmark. Please RT and/or sign up events.au.dk/ccee2021

Today I was offered a full professorship @AU_Biodiversity @AarhusUni. This is my dream job and I am hugely thankful for the opportunity!
In my new position, I hope to stay mindful of my responsibility to mentor early career scientists in their efforts to stay in science.

As we reached 6000 volunteers, it is great to see that our zooniverse.org/projects/toke… is THE most active project on @the_zooniverse. @PollinatorWatch @NeATundra

I remember when I used to see a bee and go, YIKES a bee! And now I'm all, Oh wow a bee, hi! You ok there? Need anything? Can I get you a drink? A cushion? Wanna borrow the car?

If you want to attract native spring bees to your garden it is not just about what you plant, what you allow to grow is also important. A patch of dandelions is a magnet for bees. #dandelion #bees

More than 5000 volunteers on @PollinatorWatch! ❤️ 500 signed up in the last week. We are approaching 200k classifications in our new workflow. 🐝
Thanks to all who signed up for our @PollinatorWatch project. We are now >5000 volunteers and counting! This mission will help us better assess #Pollinator vulnerability to #climatechange @HjalteMann @AU_Biodiversity @IsaLykke

After just four days we crossed the line of 100k classifications! The next goal is one million! 🐝
Today we're excited to announce our biggest workflow launch on @the_zooniverse yet! Several millions og images have been uploaded to the site and now we need your help locating all the pollinators hiding within them🕵️
Head on over to zooniverse.org/projects/toke… to try it out now 🐝

Check this exciting #Citizenscience project we are running with @the_zooniverse
We just launched our new workflow on @the_zooniverse! As our virtual fieldworker, you can help us study the pollinators of Narsarsuaq, Greenland! A perfect cure for any lockdown claustrophobia. Every classification feeds directly into my PhD! Thank you!

To ensure that none of you are going into the weekend worrying about the well-being of my script: All is good! Over the weekend, our computers will prepare almost 2 million(!) flower detections for our next @PollinatorWatch #Zooniverse project!🌼 @TokeHoye @IsaLykke @TECOLOGYxyz
The challenge of working with #BigData. You test your script thoroughly on a small subset of your data. All is running smoothly. You run the script on the full dataset. BAM! Obscure error message after 30 hours runtime. Ready. Aim. Troubleshoot!

#Bumblebees have thick hair and can warm themselves up by shivering their strong flight muscles! They can stay quite warm on a winter's day compared to other insects who would not survive. It allows bumblebees to forage in very low temperatures, sometimes year-round!

Share the love for bumblebees this Valentine's Day 🐝❤
Our top-tip: instead of buying cut roses, why not sow some bumblebee-friendly wildflower seeds and watch bumblebees pollinate your garden all summer-long. Spread love like pollen!

Our GPUs are red hot! We are producing the next batch of data for the @PollinatorWatch community while exploring the newest results delivered by the users! #DeepLearning #Entomology @TECOLOGYxyz @the_zooniverse
Fantastic community support! We will now look into the data and develop even more powerful automated insect monitoring tools #insectdecline #MachineLearning

Possibly the best conference ever!?! A FREE conference on all things bumblebee research on 20th and 27th Feb. You can book & view the talks programme here: bestuivers.nl/hommelsymposiu… 🐝🔍

Over the last 30 years, up to a quarter of all known bee species have fallen off international global records, despite a major increase in the number of such records available. flip.it/G-3Utd

"wild pollinators, especially wild bee species, deposited significantly more pollen grains on a stigma per single visit to a flower than did honey bee"

I was looking for a way to #volunteer virtually today, and discovered @the_zooniverse @PollinatorWatch . A very cool opportunity to help science and watch how #AI tools are part of this valuable work
Close to 3K volunteers have helped us classify more than 190K time-lapse images of #pollinators on @the_zooniverse!
This is such a wonderful example of 'many strokes felling great oaks' - we are so grateful for all your work #PolliWatchers 🐝 Now let's get to 300K! 👏

Today @PNASNews published two papers I have led on the #insect #decline. Thanks to brilliant teams of co-authors and David L. Wagner and Matt Forister for editing and @EntsocAmerica for accommodating the symposium at #EntSoc2020, which lead to the special feature.

#FunFactFriday: Ever wonder where #pollinators go in the winter?❄️ Pollinators display a variety of amazing and unique strategies in order to survive the cold weather and overcome the harsh winter climate. Read our blog post to learn more at pollinator.org/where-do-poll….
