COME WORK WITH ME!!! Very exciting open faculty position at MIT, with ecosystem and biodiversity modeling as a focus! cee.mit.edu/people/share...

The academic starter pack.

#ICCV25 was a blast! Presented my work on automating Southern Ocean benthic monitoring at the Marine Vision workshop & joined the AI for Conservation bird walk. I loved seeing my Northumberland Dolphin Dataset still used for benchmarking segmentation models! Lots of collab ahead! 📄 bit.ly/4qItEdQ

CVPR 2026 Workshop Call is officially open! 🎉 📅 Deadline: Nov 3, 2025 cvpr.thecvf.com/Conferences/... We expect to host over 100 workshops this year — and this is where the next breakthroughs begin. 🚀 With Mei Chen,Erik Blasch,Brian Clipp,Sharon Huang,Andreas Savakis @cvprconference.bsky.social

Badass birders braving the rain this morning!! We got soaked, saw cool birds, and got a beautiful rainbow as a reward 🌈

🌟 ‘Automated Detection of Antarctic Benthic Organisms to Aid Biodiversity Monitoring’ is by Cameron Trotter, Huw Griffiths, Tasnuva Ming Khan + Rowan Whittle. It was published at the Joint Workshop on Marine Vision, at the International Conference on Computer Vision ⬇️ www.bas.ac.uk/media-post/a...

Artificial Intelligence supercharges science on the Antarctic seafloor - British Antarctic Survey

Using the latest AI technology, scientists have dramatically sped up the process of detecting animals found in photographs and video taken of the seafloor.

📣 Dr @camerontrotter.bsky.social explains: "The images are packed full of weird and unusually shaped animals, often living on top of each other - some of which have never been seen before." The team trained AI to identify seafloor creatures near Antarctica, like starfish, corals, and fish. 🧵 2/4

Supercharged seafloor spotting! 🐚 Our AI and science teams have been using machine learning to label surveys of the Antarctic seafloor. It's dramatically sped them up from <8 hours per photo, to a few seconds. This one looks like a quick job. But stay with us as we up the difficulty... 🧵 1/4

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/s... An unknown sea otter was spotted stealing surfboards at Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz this week. Is 841 back to her old ways or have other otters learned to hang 10? Check out my latest for @nytimes.com

One way sighted people can determine what to put in alt text: Imagine you sent the post or article to a friend, and the image didn't load. What would someone need to know to get the equivalent experience and context? This will help you identify the important details.
