When you spend two days joking with your data friends about being old and not understanding Gen Z slang, and then @hadley.nz drops this 😂 I was like, was he sensing our conversations?! It's like when you worry your phone is listening to you #rstats #databs

the first paper from my lab at UCSC is on @ecoevorxiv.bsky.social led by the brilliant Jordana Sevigny we assembled a >100 year timeseries of invert range extensions in the NE Pacific huge range fluctuations are common; extensions are overwhelmingly associated with El Niño doi.org/10.32942/X2T...

Trump just continually shooting our country in the face. This unwarranted (and likely illegal) destruction of Goddard is madness. It jeopardizes the next several decades of space exploration.

This looks super useful... Too bad I just did that manually a few weeks ago (only for my own pubs, so not too many)

OK, I got so frustrated with this that I dug into some previous scripts out there, and modified it to a new one that.... seems to work? Take a gander at the repo - github.com/jebyrnes/bib... - or jebyrnes.github.io/bibtex_2_web... Feel free to fork and pull to improve, or use it!

A small but interesting dataset for #TidyTuesday this week! We're looking at differences in lead levels of water samples between two studies 🧪 📊 Barcode chart showing distribution of values ✍️ Extended subtitle giving context 🔢 Annotations highlighting removed values #RStats #ggplot2 #DataViz

I wrote a lil post on the amazing work that @ginareynolds.bsky.social does championing ggplot2 extension developers and teaching others to build their own! The post features the Scrollytelling Quarto extension and the group's cute #RStats hex 🐱: rworks.dev/posts/ggplot...

Having recently adopted some cute beasts, this is too real.

Now I'm also looking for a research software engineer to implement a pile of research results to R packages loo, posterior, bayesplot, projpred, priorsense, brms or/and Python packages ArviZ, Bambi and Kulprit. Apply by email with no specific deadline (see contact info at users.aalto.fi/~ave/)

This is Halloween!

I am excited to announce that we are advertising a summer school in model-based multivariate analysis for ecologists. It will take place in Hjerkinn, Norway from 21-25 July. More information can be found at bertv.folk.ntnu.no/index.html and in this 🧵. #GLLVM

Damn - this is really good. Modeling plant communities with Dirichlet regression. I use beta and ordered beta (thanks, @rmkubinec.bsky.social!) a lot, but this is very cool. Something I'd normally use gllvm for, but maybe... ecogambler.netlify.app/blog/plant-c...

Donated and shared. Thank you for all your mahi in this area too, Shaun. 🙏🏼

Morning peeps! I’ve written a piece for @thespinoff.bsky.social on why I ended up taking legal action against my employer and a little bit about how it played out. The whole story needs a book to tell but this is a good start 😂 thespinoff.co.nz/society/01-1... thespinoff.co.nz/society/01-1...

Working on a new lab website using quarto and 1) Who has the easiest best looking well formatted script/technique for going from bibtex -> nice publications page? I'm @brunalab.bsky.social's which is awesome, but not quite doing what I want. 2) The lab has demanded a pets section. It's joy.

We are delighted to present, in a series of posts, our fantastic speakers who will deliver talks during the upcoming online mini-symposium. Today, meet Ana Lara Lopez and Andre Visser! 🗓️ 5 November 2025 | 9:00 - 12:00 CET 👉 Please read more and register here: bit.ly/3Jk1CV2 #BioEcoOcean #HorizonEU

Just learnt a new concept and phrase - the "circular seabird economy", and love it. This is economy in the true sense, related to ecology and real world *limited* resources (rather than imaginary, unlimited ones, what politicians and the rich people they serve have convinced us "economy" is).

Love this so much! Think I was on the dive to collect some of these. I didn't collect them - I'm horrible at getting decorators (fortunately my labmate was a champion). #DecoratorCrabs #ThisIsHalloween

Oooooooo...... 👀

Newest LLM tell/quirk in coding assignments this semester: instead of generating code based on the CSVs that I provide, LLMs have been inventing datasets with rnorm() and sample() (and an obligatory set.seed(42)) and then making plots with the fake data. I'm so tired.

When researchers bring up confounders without ever having declared the actual analysis goal

It’s astonishing how many researchers seem to believe that a cluster analysis is such a sensible analysis that it needn’t even be justified through a coherent research question. Just cluster analysis go brrrrr

what a GREAT thread. Add your entries to the end please!

This is excellent!

You can always calibrate your statistical test to focus on a hypothesis about what YOU deem as a practically significant effect… if you so dare. #statssky #hypothesistesting #sciencesky

personally I prefer to make paranormal distributional assumptions. your data are haunted by the ghosts of inferences past. spooky unseen forces are intervening on your outcomes. i will not be elaborating or providing a dag.

Today, we published a study long in the making on how upper and subsurface tropical Pacific waters responded (and maybe will adjust) to warmer global climate. Here’s the story of how we got here after 15 years. many authors but shout out @jfarmersalmanac.bsky.social 🌊 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
