I created a small R package, tidyTRY, to help clean TRY plant trait data and pull European expert indicator values (FlorVeg) directly into R. It grew out of repeatedly rewriting the same scripts over the years. Repo: github.com/billurbektas...

Live look in at my code somehow not throwing any errors in prod

I am team {tinytable}!

When I was writing code by hand, unit tests felt close to useless because I knew precisely what every line of code was doing. When Claude can generate 20k LOC before breakfast, test driven development becomes very necessary.

This is such a good treasure trove for teaching stats!

dplyr 1.2.0 was released last week and since I use {dplyr} a lot in my work, I wanted to take some time to try some of the new functions. This post provides some supplemental examples of the new functions, beyond what is provided in the new Posit materials. #rstats cghlewis.com/blog/dplyr_u...

📢 Postdoc opening in avian biogeography & macroecology (Olomouc, CZ) Vladimír Remeš (excellent scientist and mentor) is hiring a postdoc to study bird diversity across biomes, linking species pools, traits, climate & history using big data, fieldwork, and modelling. 🔗 pracuj.upol.cz/nc/zprava/cl...

I am having issue fitting some large #JSDM with #RStats due to the fact my PC does not enough #RAM (2*32GB DDR5). I thought I will just buy 2 more (have the slots for it)...check the prices... nevermind...

I have just finished my course on reproducibility in science (#CUNI-SPROuT) but there are some cool ideas to try in the next run👇

The more I do teach #RStats, the more I think it is a blessing and a course at the same time.

I am always amazed by the amount of useful tools that R can provide. Truly a multipurpose programming language! #RStats

In case you ever wondered about the differences between magrittr pipe and base pipe 🤔 This table is taken from a great stackoverflow answer by @GeorgKindermann stackoverflow.com/questions/67... #rstats #dataviz #phd

This is such a cool idea! I am sorting custom functions into folders but this allows me to do it in env as well! 👏👏👏

Me, explaining my R script with Base R, data.table and tidyverse code. #rstats

This is huge!

1/🧵 Paper out! 🎉🌿🔒 VegVault is now published in Nature Scientific Data: a global database linking palaeo + modern vegetation with traits + climate/soil drivers. 🌐website: bit.ly/VegVault 📜paper: doi.org/10.1038/s415... #VegVault #Ecology #Paleoecology #Vegetation #FunctionalTraits

It was my honour to present a poster at the @tibsaarhus2026.bsky.social in Aarhus, Denmark, about my PhD project 'Functional Vegetation Paleoecology', which is being led by my awesome supervisor @ondrejmottl.bsky.social. 💫⏳🌿

"... what was the fire inside you, when you coded till night to see your project working? It was building. And now you can build more and better, if you find your way to use AI effectively. The fun is still there, untouched." antirez.com/news/158 - via @antirez.bsky.social

I just gave a talk at @tibsaarhus2026.bsky.social at the symposium Quantitative paleoecology in the era of big data conveyed by @suzetteflantua.bsky.social Here are my slides online ondrejmottl.github.io/TIBS-Present... #TIBS2026 #tibs26

💥I am with both of my PhD students in Aarhus for @tibsaarhus2026.bsky.social. Really excited to take my Lab for the first time to an international conference🙆 #TIBS2026

I am saying this again and again. Every👏paper👏should👏have👏a👏website! There is no excuse with #quarto to make and #github pages to host them.

Are you preparing a @quarto.org presentation (using reveal.js), but the conference requires a PDF (e.g. @tibsaarhus2026.bsky.social)? No worries, the decktape for the rescue!!!🙌 Do not forget to use `reveal --fragments=true`😉 github.com/astefanutti/... #quarto #revealjs #presentation #conefrence

This is such a cool idea!

We are hiring: 4 PhD Positions in Ecology / Data Science and one Ecological Data Scientist. For more information, see www.uni-regensburg.de/universitaet...

Customisation of @vscode.dev is top💎🔥🌟! However, it is not for everyone, as you have to know what you like (which is earned by trying out different things)

Really looking forward to speaking at the symposium 'Quantitative paleoecology in the era of big data: Trends, challenges, and opportunities'🙋

Some butterflies may seem more beautiful than others. And believe it or not, this is influencing their conservation and researchers' interest! - Take this 10-min test to contribute to a research into our perception of butterfly beauty: www.unveiling.eu/en_US/introd...

@suzetteflantua.bsky.social !!!

🚨 Pre-announcement! 🚨 We’re hiring for 2 x two-year, full-time roles to join me and the wider @palaeoverse.bsky.social team @es-ucl.bsky.social. - Research Software Engineer (REF: B04-06999): lnkd.in/eNRBiPnP - Community Engagement Coordinator (REF: B04-06998): lnkd.in/ejUACCzn

Merry Christmas!

This is great!

I am planning to for the next IAVS! It will be hosted in Gijón, Spain! Are you working with #fossilpollen? Sign up! There will be a session about vegetation history😉

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL OF YOU!🎄✨

Humans have driven biodiversity gains in Europe for eight millennia. Are we simply the latest megafaunal species to generate the complex, diversity-boosting habitat mosaics Europe's ecosystems need? 🌏🧪🌐 Read OA here: eprints.whiterose.ac.uk/id/eprint/23... #Biodiversity #ScienceSky #SciComm

Where has this been my whole VS Code story arc (last ~4 years)?

This is very well put together👏👏👏 We absolutely need more of this in ecology🙆 Basically, I am teaching all that in my #SPROuT course, and this guide even strengthen my belief that it is important to teach such things to undergraduates🙌

I like this soooo much!

%notin% coming soon to an #rstats environment near you 🤩 developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/...

I am very happy and honoured to be part of #JuniorFaculty

Our article on the #JuniorFaculty initiative is now online! ‘Anyone hired a student before?’ How a group of novice lab leaders are supporting each other www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Hey #Rstats do you know any cool R-related #podcast? I am interested in #programming #DS #reproducibility #software #development etc Preferably to be available on #spotify #Rlang #rstat

That is the reason to always state namespace (or how one would call it). For example dplyr::select() and MASS::select(). I prefer to read such code, as I find out what function is from which package (especially if I do not know the package) #Rstats

Paleo folks: Please recommend researchers (incl yourselves) interested in phylogenetic reconstruction in deep time, molecular clocks (discord w/ fossil clocks), foundational/methodological issues in phylo/paleo-reconstruction & who'd be interested in hanging w/ historians & philosophers of science ⚒️
