We have just received official word from the Ecological Society of America (ESA) that our two 2011 “Photography for Ecologists” workshops have been approved. Our team (myself, Molly Mehling, Nathan Dappen, and Neil Ever Osborne) will be leading the two workshops at the 96th annual ESA meeting in Austin, TX in August. The first workshop, [...]
I have a confession to make. It’s been a WHILE since I’ve gone out with any serious intention of taking pictures. Until last weekend, in fact, the last time I took nature photos – literally – was a four-day trip through southwestern Australia with Nate Dappen, appended to the end of a professional meeting I [...]
Earlier this month at ScienceOnline2011 (a professional meeting of science bloggers and others using the web to communicate about science), Brian Malow – aka. the Science Comedian – gave a wonderful impromptu performance. On the topic of viruses, Brian described a viral infection as “Your cells: Under new management.” It’s a clever but quite apt [...]
I have an utterly absurd amount of stuff to finish before I head to North Carolina on Thursday for the ScienceOnline2011 conference in Research Triangle Park. But although I don’t have anything new of my own to share at the moment, I don’t want to let my frenzy of commitments and deadlines get in the [...]

The editors of Birder’s World choose one image per week from an international pool of submitted images. Then, every 2 months, a [...]
Starting in early January, check a newsstand near you to find the February 2011 issue of Birder’s World magazine. Inside, you’ll find a feature article on Burrowing Owl behavior and conservation, written by me and featuring photographs by me and my friend Mac Stone. I was excited enough about the article – my first feature [...]
A few times a year, I manage to update my website with a batch of new images. This time, it’s a big one: 169 new pictures, bringing the total collection to 1683 photos. The images on neillosin.com now represent over 500 identified species! There were a lot of new species in this batch, because I [...]
Since I’ve been working on research grants for most of the fall (surely the most grueling component of the scientific process, and I speak as someone who actually enjoys writing!), I haven’t had much time for photography, or anything else really. There are lots of things going on “behind the scenes,” and I promise there’s [...]
