QERC

Quantitate Ecology Research Chapter of the Ecological Society of Australia - connecting Australia's quantitative ecologists

[QERC @esa_qerc]

Reviews with collaborators is a great way to learn! We know this from writing manuscripts together ✍️, how is it any different with code 🤓?! Need to put our egos aside so we can reap the benefits of learning from our coding mistakes. 🙌

[QERC @esa_qerc]

Analysing our #data is an important part of scientific method and its a huge portion of the work that we do! 👨‍💻📊 Team QERC is excited to have @ChristinABuelow @bluecology to chat about all things to do with #code #review 🥳

[QERC @esa_qerc]

Regular #hackyhour sessions are fun but often people still code shy which is a big barrier to code review! 🙈

[QERC @esa_qerc]

and we're on! join us now to talk about code review in ecology, lab culture, peer review, and teaching!

[QERC @esa_qerc]

Join us this afternoon as we chat with @ChristinABuelow and @bluecology about peer code review in ecology. what is it, why should we be doing it, and how can we bring it into our research culture?

This afternoon @ 3:45 on zoom, link in this post: https://t.co/nfMvVRFq26

[QERC @esa_qerc]

we're at it again! we have two very special guests for the next community chat, @bluecology and @ChristinABuelow, as we talk about peer code review.

Join us Nov 8, 3:45 Melbourne time for the who, when, and how. zoom and details here: https://t.co/nfMvVRFq26

Please RT! postdoc opportunity: how do functional traits influence ecosystem fluxes in response to climate change? https://t.co/wMpEVwnmGN

Thinking of presenting at #VicBioCon22? Abstract submissions will be opening SOON! Keep your eyes peeled 👀. In the meantime, why not head to our website and see what we're about? https://t.co/TdKuXVcdT6

Been waiting 1 year, 7 months and 2 days to be allowed back to Australia. All hope is gone. Anyone know ecologists in Europe that could use help with field work a few wks/mos, esp. herps or spatial/feeding eco? Dying to work & feel like I can actually DO something. Thanks🙏🦎🐍🐢

Thank you to the @EERC_UNSW for funding my workshop proposal on “The R in Reproducible Research” 👩‍💻 Hopefully folks will like learning about #rstats coding practices that can improve the #reproducibility of their work

[@[email protected] @fonti_kar]

@oryza_aaron @esa_qerc Absolutely! We will post recordings here: https://t.co/oHncmTuBKJ check back end of the week :)

[Doerthe Tetzlaff @TetzlaffEcoHyd]

I’m recruiting a postdoc @HumboldtUni @LeibnizIGB Berlin Germany on developing coupled climate-hydrological-ecohydrological models 4 extreme climate impacts on hydrology. Start 1.1.22 Advanced numerical / programming skills required. Send yr CV to [email protected]

[QERC @esa_qerc]

huge thank you to everyone who came along and contributed to these ideas! 🤗

. @enterthesloth starts our third QERC-y chat by introducing the problem: many students enter ecology because they want to play in the natural world 🐬🌴🐨

but the field is increasingly quantitative. Unis struggle to fill quant courses, so what can we do to bridge this gap?

[QERC @esa_qerc]

so what do we do?

* summer/winter schools
* collaborative teaching modules
* leverage small group learning environments...

QERC is going to keep this conversation going, so if you're interested in being part of it, stay tuned for our follow-up events!
