I’ll attend the OTS-PASI Embedded Sensors course

During the last two weeks of August I will be visiting Costa Rica for an OTS/PASI course on the use of embedded sensors for tropical ecology. Hopefully this kind of course will push forward the use of many kinds of sensors in tropical ecology. There is so much diversity in tropical forests that, in order to better understand these complex ecosystems, we need to use all the tools that are available.

World Listening Day this Sunday, July 18

This Sunday is the World Listening Day, a day set up to celebrate the practice of listening, raise awareness about issues about sound projects, and design and implement educational initiatives. The date is the birthday of R. Murray Schafer, author of The Soundscape.

Visit their website for more information and lets promote the listening of our world, there is more than car alarms, A/C systems, and noise out there.
