Newly published research by @UofT + @ConservHalton uses Mapbox Movement data to inform management of parks and green spaces 💚

Wow this is super cool!

[Allison Horst @allison_horst]

Hi #rstats users! If you’ve been wrangling data in the tidyverse, the Arquero library in #JavaScript will feel familiar. Here's a primer to help translate common wrangling methods from dplyr & tidyr to Arquero, so you can work more nimbly between R & JS 🪄https://t.co/vpRLUkZNXc

Journals: We only consider papers with more than 1 species

Scientist: Ya but this 1 species cures all modern ailments and unlocks the meaning of life...

Journals: NEEDS MORE THAN 1 SPECIES!

Just published @ESAEcosphere! Examining relationships of winter weather with chlorophyll under ice for 84 lakes, & how drivers of primary production likely shift between seasons - great to work w/ @Sharmalab @mrbrousil @EcoFilazzola #limnology https://t.co/am9Vj1jbZi

R is just easier for some things...

Here's why. 🧵

I saw another "for loops in #rstats are bad" tweet this afternoon. Thought I'd put my timeline back in balance.

Just pre-allocate your vectors, folks! All is well!

Accessibility surfaces are powerful tools for understanding who can (and cannot) easily access services.

For Day 7: Raster of #30DayMapChallenge, @Mapbox and #rstats are used to analyze walking access to dialysis centers in Waco, TX.

Interested in making the jump from biology to data science!
I'm excited to be co-leading a @sortecoevo workshop w/ @SophieBreitbart answering just that!

Registration is still open for anyone interested!

A huge day today for our company with the unveiling of our new SyncroSim package for Canadian fire behaviour modelling. Sold out 100-person workshop in Edmonton! https://t.co/c9nEvWdrRC

Modelling global change isn't only about being in front of a computer. Its important to see sites in person too

We were lucky to visit a project modelling carbon sequestration in KY & TN wetlands

[Alessandro (Alex) Filazzola @EcoFilazzola]

This one was a long time in the making!

Out now in @SciReports we measured how shrubs mediate climate conditions using hourly measurements of air temp and soil moisture

We've been working on seeing how access to green spaces for Toronto residents are not equal. Still very early in our results, but its very obvious that there are large sections of the city where the closest public green space is kilometers away (non-shaded areas)

[Alessandro (Alex) Filazzola @EcoFilazzola]

Proud to have been a part of this! Such an awesome group of folks!

[Michael F Meyer @mishafredmeyer]

Our @aslo_org #LO_Bulletin piece on the 2nd @HackingLimno & 3rd #DSOS Virtual Summit is out! Hard to believe how much this community has grown & so proud to have an amazing org team! This issue we focus on #ECRs & skill dev in #DSOS #AEMONJ #OpenAccess

Later the student explained that it was an advanced program to train AI https://t.co/jgyxXGtqXE

[Western Biology @westernuBio]

Our first in-person seminar of the year has our newest adjunct @EcoFilazzola discussing his work developing big data tools and techniques to improve our ability to predict ecological responses to global change. https://t.co/jNzCevt1ds

[Alessandro (Alex) Filazzola @EcoFilazzola]

@garlandxie @westernuBio Thanks!

[Alessandro (Alex) Filazzola @EcoFilazzola]

Very excited to say that I'm officially adjunct @westernuBio and will be giving my first talk this Friday on campus!
