In five days, I'm headed to Australia: Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne. I can't wait. So many colleagues to meet and birds to see!
For those who are interested in such things, I'll be giving a few public talks in addition to a number of academic lectures.
The public talks will mostly focus on something I've been thinking about lately, "The Crisis of Human Collective Decision-Making in a Social Media World".
“By increasing the diversity of #NativePlants in urban areas, researchers from the #UniversityOfMelbourne have seen a seven-fold increase in the number of #insect species in just three years, confirming the ecological benefits of #UrbanGreening projects…prior to this study, little evidence had been documented on how specific greening actions can mitigate the detrimental effects of urbanization through boosting the numbers of indigenous insect species “ https://arthropod.social/@entsocamerica/110945619219843359
