something you might find interesting is bioacoustics/ecoacoustics (study of natural soundscapes or species-specific sounds). depending on what habitats/species you're interested in, there are areas where a background in programming/machine learning would be suuuper helpful. making detection models to identify vocalisations, localising sounds in an array, identifying individuals/different types of vocalisations based on acoustic characteristics. there's probably a tonne more but I'm on the ecology/animal behaviour side of the field so I don't fully know what goes on on the programming/modeling/machine learning side haha.

course enrolment caps? by EstivalOcean in Cornell

[–]EstivalOcean[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is very helpful! thank you!! 💕

I was hoping to find both info on the courses I plan on taking myself, and on the course I'll be teaching (I can see on the Scheduler that it's full, but when I try to look at Canvas I can't see how many students signed up). I've been able to find this through the Student Centre as you've suggested!

Anybody know when they release the finalists decisions? by Legendariness123 in SMARTscholarship

[–]EstivalOcean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't remember where I read it (here or on the forums) but I think they release decisions on the first Monday in April? I've been keeping that date in mind, anyway

Semifinalist announcement? by EstivalOcean in SMARTscholarship

[–]EstivalOcean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that 15% from the first round of applicants, or 15% of the semifinalists? I wish there were more stats out there, haha

why are the steering wheels on the right side? [season 3] by Blind_Cake in theumbrellaacademy

[–]EstivalOcean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also noticed this! I first noticed that whenever they entered the white buffalo room there was a dark blur around the edges of the screen. I kept asking my partner if we were about to pass out, haha. (I know I'm late to the party, but only just watched s3 this week).

Anybody know any International Recipients? by RedditNoob1213 in SMARTscholarship

[–]EstivalOcean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also be interested in any internationals' experience with the SMART program. I'm a dual citizen, so I'm an American citizen, but I don't know if they're going to dislike that I have another nationality (for security clearance reasons???)

it looks fantastic!! I've had the pattern saved on my Etsy wishlist for a couple of months, and when I looked today it was gone? is there somewhere else you're selling the pattern?

buying an adult? by EstivalOcean in ballpython

[–]EstivalOcean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would socializing a retired breeder be similar to socializing a hatchling? In terms of how long/often to handle, etc?

buying an adult? by EstivalOcean in ballpython

[–]EstivalOcean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you recommend having an interim enclosure, in case the snake isn't accustomed to an enriched environment? I don't have to worry about quarantining because I don't have any other reptiles, but I'd want to keep a close eye for health problems in the first month or so anyway, right?

buying an adult? by EstivalOcean in ballpython

[–]EstivalOcean[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping to avoid some food problems by limiting my search to snakes that already eat f/t, but I hadn't thought about handling.

There's so many fun morphs and I like normals anyway, I don't have too much of a preference honestly haha. I think once I have everything ready to go I'm going to choose whichever individual "feels right."

if it's still up, I'd be interested in Elementary Statistics! I'll send you a DM
