Apparently, I have compassion fatigue. The emotional burnout I feel is off the chart. I didn't know.

Biologists have recorded the worst osprey breeding season they have ever documented in the Chesapeake Bay. Commercial harvesting and changing water conditions may explain the disappearance of a fish called menhaden, which is ospreys' principal prey. wapo.st/4rNeeWv

If you missed it last week, we published the largest ever study on emerging infectious diseases. Not really in vogue right now, but the next pandemic will come sooner than you think. Key lessons: nature-based solutions where you can, health system strengthening always. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I bought this book on my Kindle and Audible because I feel everything so deeply and is affecting me so much. Personal and work life. I'm not sure why I am like this but I can't keep going like this. It's exhausting so I'm leaving it here in case it may help someone else too.

Hope you all enjoy this week's #TidyTuesday dataset. It's a good one! Lots of Qs to explore regarding hospitals and pharmacies proximity to urban centres. Also, now that I think I am getting the hang of it on how to submit a database, I will continue to explore other potential databases. It's fun!

"The argument that a species is in no danger because it is very common, is a complete fallacy; but is very often brought forward...by people who have a financial interest in destroying the animals." - Charles Elton, Animal Ecology (1927) Each of these species was very common 1-2 centuries ago.

See this is why I love coding, after all these years coding in R I still discover how to do things in a new way or new functions. You will take my RStudio and my ability to code from my dead cold hands.

TIL about `walk()` where have I been living that I had never used it!!! So if I understand this correctly, it differs from `map()` because it shows me not the end result but a process like what you get with `glimpse()`. #rstats

As many of you know, I love coding. But for most of my career, I have had to code to do things for work or papers, etc. Which don't get me wrong, I very much enjoy. However, there is a different kind of satisfaction when you code and work on a project that is just for fun. #rstats

Quick question for those of you who like to spend some time working on the design part of your graphs or maps. Would you say that you have a style when it comes to your data viz designs? Could you name such style? I have always considered myself a minimalist in terms of my designs #rstats #dataviz

Got my virtual workshop pass for #PositConf2026. Can't wait!! I am actually super interested in learning how to incorporate Python into my workflow. I'm an R girlie through and through but I do want to learn how can Python expand what I can do in terms of data science and spatial analysis.

I have been debating all week whether to buy a virtual workshop pass or a virtual conference and workshop pass for #PositConf2026 . It’s so expensive fr me so I just want to make sure it’s worth it. I just think a pass just for one workshop I feel like it’s too little for so much.
