More of a watchman here, trying to unplug unsuccessfully.

Get ready to cheer for #TeamCanada! The #Beijing2022 Olympic Games start today! Did you hear about our last minute entry? Catch them competing in the open 4-fish bobsleigh! It’s a thing right?

Great #dataviz thread of the recent undersea #volcano eruption in #Tonga. Hope everyone is ok and can avoid the worst

@KarlLamothe Realizing now these aren't exactly what you probably want, but they do show 1) fish competition and population, and 2) fish migration given a population size

[James Marcaccio @Masjo16]

@KarlLamothe If you're interested in common carp - Dr. Bajer has two neat studies: competition with bluegills in stocked lakes, and dispersal in the Upper Mississippi.

@KarlLamothe Jon did something like that during his PhD in Georgian Bay. Midwood & Chow-Fraser 2015: https://t.co/d9eIp04HDu

Yep. Thanks for sharing @_anniejd

@biolumiJEFFence Also, while we may not think of high IF as better, I would probably have a positive unconscious bias when seeing 'Nature' or 'Science' one someone's CV. I have never been on a hiring committee.

[James Marcaccio @Masjo16]

@biolumiJEFFence IF is certainly flawed/imperfect, what about this question in the other direction? If you don't consider high IF as better, then are you also not considering low IF as worse? Taken to an extreme, is a Nature paper no different than a predatory/paper farm journal?

[James Marcaccio @Masjo16]

@biolumiJEFFence Personally I Zwift with friends and do workouts on Wahoo Systm. Smart trainers with resistance controls really enhance the experience for Zwift (makes climbs feel more real), and less necessary for workouts on Systm (just need to aim for power target).

[James Marcaccio @Masjo16]

@biolumiJEFFence If you want the views and real world places, Rouvy works well. Zwift's world is also interesting to look at and has some fun Easter eggs to find but it's more comical. The social integration on Zwift is awesome if you want to ride with others; can do chill rides, workouts, races

Awesome to see the #GreatLakes featured in these first Landsat images!

@KEJoyce2 There is a strong positive relationship between class average and student evaluations, so if you are 'easy' on students and everyone gets an A then you will get better 'evaluations' in return.

[James Marcaccio @Masjo16]

@homodelphinius @EOchatBot Interesting discussion point, especially with proprietary software and different versions. If no clear workflow is presented, would certainly require major revisions

[James Marcaccio @Masjo16]

@WildlifeBioGal Also that year was particularly late for cold temps and Lake Ontario was pretty not frozen. It's the only picture of Great Lakes ice I have that year!

[James Marcaccio @Masjo16]

@WildlifeBioGal It's not too often that bike photos are actually relevant/appropriate for science talk, so I have to include them when I can 😄

[James Marcaccio @Masjo16]

We have already processed all available data for #HamiltonHarbour and #TorontoHarbour, happy to teach how to use the tool and/or process data for anyone interested in the data or collaborating!

I did a thing, and now you can actually view it 👇

Taken together, we can utilize this tool (data available from 2015 onwards) to better inform our knowledge of fish under ice. This tool works anywhere in the #GreatLakes with timing subject to passes of #Sentinel1 (about every 5-15 days here near #LakeOntario #LakeErie)
