Happy #BigFishFriday!
Today we’re going to revisit some of last weeks questions from @DrSurfNTurf’s Q&A.

[Big Fish Lab @big_fish_lab]

How much time do you work in R?
Great question! Last Friday was an R heavy day but that’s because I’m doing primarily analysis right now (less fieldwork/writing). Some weeks I spend no time in R, but other weeks it’s 20 or so hours. It just depends on where I am in my projects!
