== Offer to help with field work ==
 
 
 
Alma has posted flyers around the Wayne State University campus:
 
 
 
'''How does a changing city soundscape affect corvid populations?'''
 
 
 
Are you interested in birds and behavioral ecology? sensor networks? drones? audio processing? machine learning? You do not need to be an expert in all of these fields!
 
 
 
I’m seeking student collaborators for '''multi-disciplinary''' field work to do population studies of corvids in Detroit.
 
 
 
'''Help make knowledge and research universally accessible'''
 
 
 
While doing this work not only will you make exciting discoveries you will also advance the cause of open science and free culture. Existing professional-grade tools are outside of the price range of researchers. Data and research are hidden behind pay-walls. But by following the principles of open science, software freedom, and open source hardware we can make research that is accessible to all.

For example,

* "That squirrel is very expired."
 
* "What are you doing to that bird?"
 
* "Did you really just take the left overs from that table?"
 
* "It's okay, I wasn't going to eat that anyway." (not technically a question)
 
* "No, it's okay, this shrimp is expired." (ditto)
 
* "Did you know your jacket has a weird smell?"
 
* "Why is that crow stuffing a dead shrimp there?"
