This sweet little #chickadee that I see regularly in my yard, has a deformed beak. After googling it, I discovered this is a condition called #akd avian keratin disorder. It was recommended that I report it to a research group at the #USGS Alaska division. (Interesting since I live in MA).

#Birds with this disorder seem to have higher mortality rates, but some do ok. This one is seemingly ok at the moment. It looks worse for wear because I snapped this #photo while it was sleeting.

Update. "Global Science in Danger"
blog.scielo.org/en/2025/03/26/

"Recently, the government of the United States of America (USA) has frightened the scientific community…by censoring terms used in scientific communications and funding proposals…The idea that this is just relevant to American scientists or scientists from elsewhere working in America is not correct; with researchers the world over being affected. In the Netherlands, for instance, some researchers monitoring the state of forests…have received email messages, ostensibly from the #USGS (United States Geological Survey) and labelled “High Priority”. A list of questions was attached with the request to respond with answers within a week of receiving the email. The USGS indicated that sending these messages had been ordered by the United States Office of Management and Budget (#OMB)."

SciELO in Perspective · Global Science in Danger | SciELO in PerspectiveThe current American government is curtailing science in several ways. Certain terms are censored in scientific reports and publications, communications and collaborations between scientists are limited or even proscribed, and funding is withdrawn. The implications for scientific research in the US are vast, but the long arm of the American government has undesired effects on the global science community as well, particularly on the numerous ways scientists elsewhere collaborate with their American colleagues. The preeminence of American science seems truly being shattered.
