Recently found this excellent R best practices cheat sheet by Jacob Scott.

It provides a very practical overview of how to write cleaner, more reproducible, and more maintainable R code, including topics such as:

🔹 Project structure
🔹 Package management
🔹 Reproducible examples
🔹 Function workflows
🔹 Naming conventions
🔹 Styling guidelines
🔹 Database connections
🔹 Git & version control

You can find the original cheat sheet here: https://t.co/cY8hrsliju

Easily visualize flows in categorical data with the R package parcats. It lets you build interactive parallel category plots to explore how categories change across stages or time points. Built on plotly, fully interactive, and works well with tidy data.

Ideal for:
✔️ Longitudinal data
✔️ Survey response changes
✔️ Multi-stage classification
✔️ Categorical transitions

The visualization below shows a parcats plot created from an alluvial-style dataset in wide format. It’s taken from the package website: https://t.co/eKdlTVWbFe

Excited to share our Review @NatureRevMicro on the impacts of climate extremes on plant pathogens, microbiomes and plant health. We also propose an integrated pathway for harnessing microbiomes to address the critical challenges posed by climate extremes. https://t.co/7AKnDeXSPf

This is one of the most clear‑headed soil microbiome papers I’ve read. No hype, just solid science. You might be shocked by how much we still don’t know about soils.
Unfortunately, not open access. https://t.co/ECo9mcCXFy

🆕 The soil microbiome 🪳🐜🐞can be used to predict ecosystem functioning. 🌍 Soil microbiome is a good predictor of soil enzymatic activity or plant productivity, but other functions (e.g., soil respiration). Just published in @NatureComms published in https://t.co/oKnogiWwey

So I have been working on a textbook on theoretical ecology and modeling. #openaccess. Using @rstudio and #quarto for writing and @github for publishing. You can check it at https://t.co/Hy3HlmUcmW and follow my (slow) process. First two chapters mostly written, yeah!

Hugely important paper with @vandeHeijdenLab as senior co-author:
“Together with three recent studies analysing worldwide AMF products, our study revealed that 85% of the 64 commercial arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculants tested are of poor quality and did not colonise plant roots.”
