Time to make it Twitter-official: I'll be starting a PhD this fall at @UCLAEEB in @NoaPinter 's lab, working on social and spatial networks in vultures! Data + birds + spatial/social ecology = 😍. I'm grateful to all who helped with the application process! 📸 : Pierre Dalous

I rarely ask questions during conferences, so I unfortunately contribute to these statistics. So, how can we create conferences in which people from under-represented groups (including female scientists) feel comfortable to raise their hands and get their voices heard?

Registration open for our 10th event (28th Sep; 15:00 UTC), a workshop on: "Dashboards: Using R to Create Actionable Science" Organizers: Ben Best & Marcus Beck, in collaboration with Enrique Montes & Tylar Murray Register for free at: eventbrite.com/e/dashboards-… #SORTEEtools
Workshop on: Dashboards: Using R to Create Actionable Science Presenters: Ben Best and Marcus Beck, in collaboration with Enrique Montes and Tylar Murray September 28 2023 at 15:00 UTC Duration: 1 hr Summary: The Shiny R package is now ten years old and is a popular tool to create immersive, web-based content. Although many researchers have experience with R, expertise in dashboards is uncommon. This workshop will include a mix of instructor-led demonstrations, discussion, and exercises that will empower attendees to create their own Shiny applications. We will begin by showing what’s possible with the Quarto publishing system and Shiny by demoing existing applications from the Marine Biological Observation Network and the National Estuary Program. We will then transition to instructional material on the fundamentals of reactive programming with Shiny...

I think we all know, or wish we knew, or have been, some of these people. As a bonus, this really makes me think critically about helper/mentor "roles", à la @thecarpentries pedagogy training 🤔

some people who make programming easier: - the loud newbie - the grumpy old timer - the bug chronicler - the documentarian - the “today I learned..." - the “I’ve read the entire internet" - the tool builder - the question answerer

The figure shows a slide with the following information about the conference of the Society for Open, Reliable, and Transparent Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. When? 17th-18th October 2023. What? Unconferences, Hackathons, Workshops. Where? Virtually, world-wide, across all time-zones. How? Registration and schedule at https://www.sortee.org/upcoming/

Absolutely disgusting. This is the latest in a series of crackdowns and moves against union leaders, clearly calculated to break out resolve as we fight to enforce our contracts.

In an unconscionable move by the UC, University of California Police arrested 3 workers on felony charges and confiscated their possessions for writing messages in chalk and washable paint calling on UC to stop underpaying workers.🧵

This summary is really, really not the point of the post - the whole idea of "mom energy" at work is sexist and this really misrepresents the post. (For that matter, most of your summaries of my work are kind of odd and I'd rather you stop!)

that thing where at the end of a long work week you swear you're taking a bare minimum 48 hours away from coding but then your brain betrays you first thing Saturday morning with an irresistible idea🧟‍♀️

Right (labeled "Saturday: cue awesome ideas!"): Same woman but looking happy and refreshed, writing code without errors, in a shirt with hearts and in front of an open window with a rainbow and clear skies.

Evidence from psychology shows that @RegReports have a lower positive result rate than the standard literature & likely reduce #publicationbias & QRPs 📰by @annemscheel Mitchell Schijen & @lakens doi.org/10.1177/251524592110… Time for eco & evo to support @RegReports!
The figure corresponds to a barplot showing that positive result rates for first hypotheses form standard reports are much higher and around 96% than those corresponding to Registered Reports, which are around 44%.
