If you’re like me and sadly can’t be in York, fear not as #BOUasm24 will also be on Zoom, on X, and on Bluesky so you have no excuse not to follow along 😉 #ornithology #birds #NetZero #scicomm

At #BOUasm24, I will discuss how new data collection and analysis methods help tackle challenges in delivering environmentally sensitive renewable energy and the issues to consider as the industry rapidly expands.
