Are you looking for speaking gigs at bird/nature clubs and events? I get more requests than I can honor, and I’d love to have a roster of folks I can recommend, especially folks from underrepresented groups.

Looking for walls to install 10x10ft bug murals this fall. It's far away, but we want them all lined up before submitting funding requests which happens way before paint ever hits a wall. Pretty please spread the word, my fellow Philadelphians.

Whatever my complaints about the huge emphasis in academia on publishing, it *does* force us to learn to write technical documents clearly enough that they get through peer review. This is an incredibly useful skill to have, and may be an underappreciated benefit of the PhD process.

We're hiring a full-time research software engineer for biodiversity & bioacoustics! Position offers a strong research component with independence + research pub opportunities and real-world impact. expected salary range $111K - $116K. dse.berkeley.edu/news/were-hi...

Is anyone else getting 403 errors when opening any @figshare.com site using Microsoft Edge? I can't tell if this is a browser thing or a work firewall misfire.

I've started clipping various short segments from some of my live and interactive virtual "weather and climate office hour" sessions. While I always record and publish the full conversations uncut, they can be a bit lengthy. :) Here's the first batch!

🚨I am looking for a POSTDOC, LAB MANAGER/TECH and GRAD STUDENTS to join my new lab in beautiful Madison, WI. We study how our brains perceive and represent the physical world around us using behavioral, computational, and neuroimaging methods. paulunlab.psych.wisc.edu #VisionScience #NeuroSkyence

Sweet Remote SciComm JOB! with @xercessociety.bsky.social

fyi if you want to work with me for some reason

Got a stand mixer recently (YAY!) and thought I would try out a recipe that uses it, from the manufacturer's website. Annnnnd.... now I'm playing the game "Recipe written by LLM or just weird?" www.kitchenaid.co.uk/recipes/peri... Some strange findings, a thread:

One of my students is having trouble submitting her GRFP because the submission site is not recognizing her Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts sub-headings. Has anyone else run into this problem and found a solution? It doesn't seem to be a font face issue.

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

Would any fluent speakers of Korean or Chinese have a couple of minutes to review some updated pkgdown translations at github.com/r-lib/pkgdow... ? These were generated by claude code, so they're probably ok, but I'd love a human to double check.

niche #rstats tweet: does anyone have a nice snippet of code they would share to download, import, and reshape GLORYS12 ocean data?

I want to highlight this excellent piece by @noupside.bsky.social and @rachelkleinfeld.bsky.social on the rapidly shifting information & media landscape. Domain experts and the institutions that support them must rapidly change tactics to meet the moment.

🎉 UC ANR’s Daniel Swain @weatherwest.bsky.social joins the 2025 #TIME100Next, spotlighting 100 rising leaders worldwide. A climate scientist & communicator, Swain studies droughts, floods & wildfires—& makes complex science accessible to the public & policymakers. More here: bit.ly/4nXePlk

Was honored to write this profile for Daniel Swain ( @weatherwest.bsky.social) for Time Magazine's 2025 "#TIME100 Next": time.com/collections/...

@acollierastro.bsky.social Really enjoying your latest video! I've never gone spelunking in your comments sections before, was wild to find out about about the anti-physics posts that miss the point of your videos. Do you think some of them are bots or people commenting based on title alone?

I published a video focused on my perspective on the 1.5°C temperature target and what it will mean to exceed it. This monologue is an honest (and unvarnished) scientifically-informed personal reflection, so I hope you'll give it a listen. #ClimateChange www.youtube.com/watc...

I'm excited to speak this afternoon at #useR2025 on outgrowing your laptop with #Positron for #rstats users! You can check out my slides at juliasilge.github.io/useR-2025/

Excited to see @weinersmith.bsky.social and @zachweinersmith.bsky.social’s book ‘A City on Mars’ being highlighted at the front of my local @barnesandnoble.com store! It’s their non-fiction book of the month!

This wide-ranging session was recorded live and is now available in its entirety at the link below! BTW, as a "bonus," I also discussed the recent tsunami alert "kerfuffle" (and why we need to do better contextualizing watches vs warnings vs advisories from NOAA/NWS!). #CAwx #CAwater #CAfire

Don't miss THE GOAT of burning laptops, #RStats, and all-round very special human being

Does anyone know of a writing retreat in the vicinity of New England where they feed you? Maybe just for a couple weekdays or a weekend? I'm really struggling to start a project and could use a push. I know about Highlights but it's somewhat far.

Come and work with me, ye scribblers, ye wretched and ne’er do wells, come one come all hacks and presswomen. Job specifics: see ad. Attitude toward pirate language: yaarrrrs please. Tricorn purchase: encouraged but not required.

I am starting to prep for my #positconf2025 talk this year, and I am excited but also a bit nervous 😅 because I am sharing how TERRIBLE things went for me the first time I tried to learn Python! 🐍 Hoping it will be interesting to the Python-curious and beyond: posit.co/conference/

Hey! Transitioning from academia (ecology) into industry. I have a decade experience in #rstats. I know how to analyze data and make some gnarly math models. Was wondering if I could reach out to anyone (especially those in biotech/pharm) to ask some questions/get advice! #datascience #databs

New #Rstats package for working with #mgcv! `VizSeasonalGams` streamlines the process of exploring model predictions across categorical predictors and comparing the effects of modelling choices. The package automates the process of producing `facet_grid`- and `facet_wrap`-like figures from models.

Today's #Rstats tip / reminder-to-self: when doing package dev and trying to track down a missing prefix, `[^:]` is regex for "not a colon". So searching for `[^:]mutate` finds all mutate calls in a script that don't have a :: prefix.

This is my weekly reminder to myself that `setdiff()` and `intersect()` exist in #Rstats. I consistently forget them, write convoluted code to recreate them, and then rediscover that they exist. Hopefully this is a useful PSA; more hopefully this will help me remember these functions next week.

Hey @asym.bsky.social I was thinking it'd be fun to check in on KoL, but I last used my account like 8 years ago and I can't remember my login info. I reached out to custom service for help with password reset a few times, but I've been getting ghosted. Any chance I could get a hand on this?

Sadly, it turns out this is three separate movies.

Seattle friends: In a few days, Kevin Gross and I will be having talking about how science works and the importance of teaching science as a social process. The best part: It'll be at Burke Gilman brewing, and we won't be speaking all that long. So you can have beer—and talk back!

Fun niche #Rstats project: pulling article names, publication, other info on all the news coverage for peer-review publications: github.com/FRAMverse/sn... (Basically pulling and organizing info from the Altmetric page for a publication).

RT. Fully funded PhD position in my lab to investigate the origin, composition and function of Ambulacrarian ossicles.

R-Ladies Philly 🔔 is thrilled to host "C for R users" by ✨Ella Kaye✨ on Tuesday, July 1 at 12pm EST. Hope you can join us! 💜 🤗 #rstats #rladies www.meetup.com/rladies-phil...

WASHINGTON—With the United States facing a daunting array of problems, leading historians reminded the nation that when making tough choices, it never hurts to stop, take a look at similar situations from the past, and then think about whether the decisions people made back then were good or bad.

Really enjoyed speaking to Cascadia R Conference today! Materials from my talk are at rfortherestofus.com/cascadia2025. #rstats

🚨 2 DAYS TO GO! 🚨 Cascadia R Conference kicks off this Friday in Portland! Amazing talks, hands-on workshops, and a community that loves R as much as you do. 🗓️ June 20–21 📍 Portland, Oregon 🔗 cascadiarconf.org Who’s ready?! #RStats #DataScience

#nokings rally in Olympia WA today

Journalists and others, take note: this is an excellent, comprehensive, and up-to-date perspective on the still-escalating threats to NOAA beyond the NWS. NWS remains in pretty dire straits, yet the prospects for the rest of NOAA are actually even more dire (especially with respect to climate).

Can anyone suggest a light game for mac? I recently enjoyed Strange Horticulture and Rise of the Golden Idol, but I found Baba Is You was a touch too thinky after a long day of work

Join us for an exciting R + Python Communities Meetup 📆 June 16, 2025, hosted by R-Ladies Rome, Rome R Users Group, and PyData Roma Capitale! 🗓️ Time: 18:00-20:00 CET 📍 INGV, Via di Vigna Murata 605, Rome or via Zoom. RSVP: www.meetup.com/rladies-rome... #DataScience

If you use @ameriflux.bsky.social data it is funded by DOE environmental science. Please write your Congressional reps and inform about the values of these programs to America and the world

In case you missed it yesterday: this "double-header" session-- focused on both recent federal developments regarding #weather, #climate, and #disaster response--plus the (alarming) fire season outlook for the Western U.S. and Canada--was recorded as is available at the link below. #CAfire #CAwater

A reminder, given the vagaries of social media, that I have a very fun short monthly mailing list: buttondown.com/rosemarymosco And also a Patreon that you can join for as little as a buck a month: www.patreon.com/birdandmoon
