Pepe, te llora el pueblo. Gracias ❤️

10 quick tips for making your software outlive your job! The preprint for our paper is now up at arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2505.06484 Hopefully it'll help people who are forced to leave. Still good advice for researchers, in general. Share widely? #academia #research #stopthecuts

One of the warmest and most empowering communities I’ve found in the R world is @rainbowr.org 💜 ✨ Their mission? To connect, support, and promote LGBTQ+ people in the R community and to spread awareness of LGBTQ+ issues through data-driven activism. 🌈📊 #RStats #RLadies

🌸Plant diversity dynamics over space and time in a warming Arctic 🌸 Our new study @nature.com analysed plant diversity change in >2000 tundra plots over 4 decades. We found that plants changed unevenly, mostly driven by warming and biotic interactions. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵 (1/7) 🌐🧪🌱🌍

Hey #Rstats friends👋, I am looking for some real life examples of using #targets 📦 for a large-scale #ecology project. There are a couple of ways of doing things, so I am genuinely interested how people have been using this amazing tool⚒️ Please boost♻️

"You never know what you might find," exemplified: as of a few weeks ago, the iNat community thinks this passionflower observation (shared back in 2019) might be an undescribed species! 📷 osvaldosandoval on iNaturalist 📍 Mexico 🔗: www.inaturalist.org/observations... #ObservationOfTheDay

New paper open access in @plantspeopleplanet.bsky.social: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Cit sci data quality is a hot topic, and assumptions about ID accuracy are often made without evidence. We decided to test identification accuracy for a WA plants @inaturalist.bsky.social dataset
