One of my favourite R tricks is using the {check_model} function in the {performance} package in #rstats to make really nice model diagnostic plots.

It also includes some easy ways to check if model's assumptions are being violated:

Just found this gem: freely available materials of workshop on "Writing Reproducible Research Papers with R Markdown" by @ResulUmit A fantastic resource filled with relevant information. If you are new (and not so new) to dynamic reports in #RMarkdown #rstats this is for you.

For those interested, our new paper in @MethodsEcolEvol is now actually available open access! https://t.co/Wj9FbNOdMM

[David Iles @IlesDT]

Really excited to try this out.

A new package to let colour blind people see all maps!

Available in GitHub: https://t.co/HPxLVq7SWF

Install it by: install.packages("devtools") devtools::install_github("ducciorocchini/cblindplot")

We're hiring a quantitative biologist to work on national-level population analysis and survey design for birds (alongside me, @AdamClarkSmith, and others at #CWS and #ECCC)!

Super fun, challenging, and collaborative.

DM me for more details!

new manuscript! TLDR; we were asked to evaluate status of Humboldt martens. Data were too sparse to estimate trends/inform specific conservation actions. So, we wrote a perspective on how we can collaborate to improve conservation of rare/cryptic species! https://t.co/yZ7EsZt0p5

@SkypeScientist has had a huge impact on my students. Recently talked to @avakiai and connected our 3rd grade unit re: sensory processing to her study of bats. Sts still talk about @IlesDT and his research in Antarctica. If you aren't signed up, do it!

[David Iles @IlesDT]

@NGSS_tweeps @SkypeScientist @avakiai Ah, this is really great to hear!

[David Iles @IlesDT]

Does anyone have a really good example of a visually appealing "data life cycle" flowchart?

Something like: field data collection -> permanent storage -> QA/QC -> [???] -> analysis -> dissemination

Or something?

[Conan O'Brien @ConanOBrien]

I am absolutely devastated about Norm Macdonald. Norm had the most unique comedic voice I have ever encountered and he was so relentlessly and uncompromisingly funny. I will never laugh that hard again. I'm so sad for all of us today.

@barbalink Oh, and learning french!

[David Iles @IlesDT]

@barbalink Lots of my week will be focused on #2021AOS_SCO.

Also trying to finalize two long-overdue manuscripts - one on migration monitoring for Blackpoll Warbler, and one about supplementing BBS surveys with acoustic recorders.
