“First, reduce “statistical machismo”, or the tendency to adopt and advocate for more complex approaches for their own sake rather than because they are the best tool for the job”… I mean… I am glad to see this piece out in Frontiers. Ecologists must consider why we do what we do in the 1st place!

R dev friends - I am updating a package that implements an analytical method. The update will mean a fundamental change in the outputs compared to the current version of the pkg (but is based on consult with experts).

Do you run or participate in a code club at your institution, or are you interested in starting one but don’t know where to begin? @cecibaldoni.bsky.social and I are leading an ‘unconference’ discussion at @sortee.bsky.social’s virtual conference on October 16 - come share some tips and ideas!

Our latest #SORTEE-led paper is out now in #ProcB! We reviewed data/code-sharing policy clarity, strictness & timing across 275 EcoEvo journals We also worked with #ProcB & #EcologyLetters to assess initial compliance with sharing mandates. Huge team effort! 👉 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

🙌 wonderful work leading this @asanchez-tojar.bsky.social, @eivimeycook.bsky.social, and @nickmoran-sci.bsky.social. Transparency with open data and code sharing is a critical first step in the quality control pipeline for research code.

Going to start a series of threads on what I've been learning as I get an #rstats 📦 ready to submit to @ropensci.org. Every time I think the package is "ready" I find another checklist I haven't been through, but it's making it all the better. This first thread is on github actions!

Stopped using "X" years ago and have finally made a switch. Hope to reconnect with folks and touch back in to the social land to share and talk about open science, research software, ecology, and public health. 🙌
