Hi there, my student is making a survey about the use of R packages in Ecology, could you please spend two mins on filling it 🥹 Very appreciated! And if you could spread it further (RT), that would be just awesome. ❤️ docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

📝 New paper published! Gamboa et al. examine the impact of menstruation on fieldwork in natural sciences disciplines. The survey revealed that 86% of respondents experienced menstruation, with nearly half (48%) reporting significant menstrual pain while working.

I completely re-worked my course "Introduction to Bayesian statistics with brms" and taught it for the 1st time this week. It is meant as a tutorial for ecologists, but should be general enough for other sciences as well github.com/benjamin-ros... #stats #Rstats #brms #Stan #Bayesian

“Tomasek added that the study could prompt us to reconsider the way we treat fish, including whether to kill and eat them. ‘[T]he fact that they can care about us, maybe it’s time that we can care about them, too.’” 🦑 🧪

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Appreciating the effort to include indigenous communities' opinions and needs into scientific conferences... #biospace25

Eccoci #biospace25 #esa #tuttodellospazio

Straight to the necessity of this research #BIOSPACE25 @esa.int can we better inform and collaborate with all researchers in the field of biodiversity monitoring?

#BIOSPACE25 starts today! Join the first international conference on satellite remote sensing for biodiversity. We'll discuss space-based monitoring, integrating data into research, policy & action (incl. our Habitat pilot, KMGBF & EU NRL support). 🔴

Yes, we are not objective, BUT "average effect was convincingly negative" is quite enough to me. Different analyses have different interpretations (depending on covariables), so in the end, it is about the story you choose to tell. Important paper to be aware of this but not to distrust scientists.
