I am pretty much not here. I mean, even more than usual. I am on masto (some) and bsky (mostly), but currently with a single account under username phiala and not with a secondary numberwright account as I am on twitter.
Hope to see you there!

We figured out how much water is in all of Earth’s plants and how long it takes water to flow through them.
Answer: 786 km3 and 5-18 days.

Today is the kind of Monday where my nifty time-saving #rstats function gives bizarre results… because I used rbind instead of cbind, it turns out.

My recent talk "Analysis of Spatial Patterns: Current State and Future Challenges" presented at @iiasavienna explores methods for quantification and exploration of spatial patterns.

Happy 25th birthday to GDAL ! From the first commit on 1998-10-17 from a small rural town outside of Ottawa Canada, to almost every geospatial software installation on the planet (and satellites and other planets!) in 25 years. The ultimate example of sharing & community. #foss4g
It's me. I am the ARS scientist. It is great working with the @PSUPollinators team!
DYK: Bees can fly 3+ miles to forage.🐝Healthy habitats are essential for pollinator health. Through an online tool called Beescape, you can explore the landscape of your area from a “bee’s eye view": bit.ly/4458rOs | #USDAScience

This is huge!
First CRAN release of 📦 #qgisprocess became reality: use QGIS processing algorithms in R !
Website: r-spatial.github.io/qgisproc…
Some features:
- needs no QGIS project, just use R
- integrates with sf, terra, stars, raster
- QGIS processing plugins

Absolutely incredible authors' note:
ALT Screenshot that reads: "AUTHORS’ NOTE The authors wish it to be known that, in their opinion, the first three authors should be regarded as joint first authors. The order of co-first authors provided here was decided through a mushroom picking competition around the Sognsvann lake, Oslo, Norway. Co-first authors can prioritise their names when adding this paper's reference to their résumés."
Hooray I finished the project expected to be done last December.
Should I work backwards in time to even more overdue things, or try to make progress on the one due at the end of the month?

The problem of imposter syndrome is NOT that you are fooling anyone about who YOU are.
The problem is that you are letting OTHERS fool you about what it means to be successful.
Working on a due-soon book chapter today. Making great progress, but had to stop for an impromptu meeting on Entirely Different Project. Which, predictably, is the only thing I want to work on now.
Back to book chapter…

1/ Food supply chains are complex systems that incorporate #production, #distribution, intermediate processing, and consumption of food #commodities. Food flow networks represent the movement of #food through these complex #supply chains.

Wait... I bet I can't use "the table of distances between cities in the back of an atlas" as an example anymore, because nobody uses paper atlases. Dammit.
(Except people who spend substantial time where there's no cell signal!)

*grumbles about professional societies that don't offer free memberships to Associate Editors*
I'm donating a lot of my valuable time to make sure the society journals succeed. I'm not also going to pay money, since I wouldn't normally be a member of this one.

We are plagued with dichotomies
Conservation or Agriculture
Land Sparing or Sharing
Rewild or Restore
We need combined approaches:
Agro-ecological management
Multi-scale planning
R+R over whole landscapes

What's the biggest mistake that I see pre-tenure assistant professors making?
