We made an R package! For all the folks that love using R and conda, there is now Herper. You can set up, manage and run conda tools from the comfort of R. Thanks to the whole team @Rockefeller_BRC . https://t.co/k687w6zW2S.

@jamespspearing @wearenypc This is more my speed: https://t.co/uRJbT6ISpv

@PickyBastards @jamespspearing @wearenypc Oh god

[Matt Paul @sciencematt]

@Scootaymildo @PickyBastards Yer. I expected a recovery. But I guess they are the exception not the rule. It might look a little different as well with more than just the top 10s.

[Matt Paul @sciencematt]

@grahamcox1991 @PickyBastards We are adventuring!

[Matt Paul @sciencematt]

I managed to combine my 2 loves: data analysis and music. Had a quick peek at what's been happening to Rock music over the past few decades.

[Picky Bastards @PickyBastards]

Our resident scientist @sciencematt grew up listening to rock music.

This week, he's looking at the state of the genre in the way he knows best - with some serious graph action:

@jamespspearing @Fran_Slater @PickyBastards @radiohead @rootsmanuva @D12 Yes please.

[Matt Paul @sciencematt]

@rudeboysmith @Scootaymildo @PickyBastards It was end of 2000, so we can claim it. Absolute cracker of an album.

[Matt Paul @sciencematt]

@Fran_Slater @PickyBastards @radiohead @rootsmanuva @D12 Can you pick some albums that are worse? How am I supposed to trash your picks if they're all pretty good?!

[Matt Paul @sciencematt]

@jamespspearing @PickyBastards I forgot about Origin of Symmetry! I still love that album.

[Matt Paul @sciencematt]

@Fran_Slater @DanInBaldock @PickyBastards Loved it then. Like it now. Was massive though to get the indie rock scene going.

[Matt Paul @sciencematt]

Seems like I missed a lot off my list of 2001 albums!

[Picky Bastards @PickyBastards]

The Blueprint, Hybrid Theory, Is This It, Turn On The Bright Lights were all albums @sciencematt picked out as highlights from 2001, but what classic albums has he missed off his list? https://t.co/EwU1EYGPuC

[Matt Paul @sciencematt]

I also wrote an article, about a very fun album by @Big_Joanie. Thanks @Fran_Slater for the recommendation.

[Picky Bastards @PickyBastards]

.@Big_Joanie's Sistahs "packs a punch" according to @Fran_Slater. But what did his old pal @sciencematt think of it?
