An excellent thread!
I believe I said in an interview somewhere on the subject that when I was a kid I kinda thought eponym names kinda sounded like wizard names, and honestly until I started researching them for BN4B that was still the case...
Gather 'round for storytime, kids!
Many intellectual giants <cough [bots] cough> this week losing their fecal sacs over the @AmOrnith decision to replace eponymous names for birds.
"You're erasing history" they cry.
Let's explore some history with #BachmansSparrow. 🧵1\12

Can you imagine seeing early career professional ornithologists and science communicators work their butts off to make ornithology and birding more welcoming and diverse… then deride their efforts by name in a major international conference abstract and talk?

I’m thrilled to share that I am joining @ABCbirds as the Managing Editor of its member magazine, Bird Conservation! When my previous magazine, @BirdWatchDaily, closed recently, I could not have imagined that I’d be lucky enough to edit another terrific bird magazine... 3/3

ALMOST worse than renaming Auk and Condor as Ornithology and Ornithological Applications 🫢 – at Toledo, OH

Can't say we're thrilled about the rebranding
RIP Larry. We will continue our fight to keep common birds common.

We NEED to do more to address bird losses to neonics. Learn about the ongoing threats from these chemicals in our new report. abcbirds.org/wp-content/uplo…
A lot has changed in the past 10 years, but not our concern about birds and the threat of pesticides. Don't miss our new report just out that reviews the science of the past decade and informs the crucial conservation efforts needed to bring birds back.

Apropos of nothing, the #progressive idea of eliminating #eponymous names for wild things dates back to at least 1799.

"We could decide right now that the words we use matter, and that birds should carry their own history, not ours."
@birdnirdfoley and I wrote an oped for @washingtonpost about why it's time we acknowledge these verbal statues and need #BirdNamesForBirds.

“‘I wake up each morning torn between saving the world or just enjoying it,”said the writer E. B. White. With my yard I can do a tad of the former and a ton of the latter”
What a fantastic quote to finish this wonderful essay!

no todos los días tu periodista científico favorito escribe un artículo para el que te entrevista y habla sobre una iniciativa a la que le has dedicado mucho tiempo y energía. y el artículo, como se esperaba, es maravilloso y profundo. gracias @edyong209!
🐦I wrote a piece about the movement to stop naming animals after people--and to remove existing eponyms.
It's a story about righting science's historical wrongs, but also about reconsidering the responsibilities inherent in naming things. 1/

"Perhaps [future generations will] see a turning point when people stopped seeing animals as vessels for human legacies but as entities with their own worth and stories, reflected in their very names."
