New #rstats pkg gander is now on CRAN! gander is a coding assistant that knows how describe the objects in your global R environment. So, when you're working with data, LLMs will know the names, types, and distributions of data columns, resulting in much more effective completions.

I really liked this idea of using a histogram as a legend in a choropleth map (since land isn't unemployed; people are), so I made a little guide to doing it with #rstats, {ggplot2}, and {patchwork} www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know: Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply. Thank you, little guardian molluscs. 🧪🌏🚰

Insane amount of work! Congrats to everyone involved. Nicely highlights the importance of being open and transparent about your analytical decisions (and also providing data and code!).

Do you ignore the effects of #ConfoundingVariables in your models? Do you remove correlated variables because of a statistical test rather than causal reasoning? If so, read this paper by @jebyrnes.bsky.social and @lauradee.bsky.social! #AcademicSky 🧪🌏 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

New study explored preprint use in ecology & evolution! A few interesting things: ▪️ Most preprints are by authors who published their first paper in the last 10 years ▪️ Median time between preprint & publication is ~8 months ▪️ Authors are reluctant to share data & code with preprints (<50% did) 🧪🌏
