@hadley.nz , you’re so real for this 😭🙌

Lowkey spent my whole day glowin’ up my code with the new `genzplyr` pack — it’s giving ✨clean syntax✨ fr.

dplyr but make it bussin fr fr no cap

`genzplyr` is an alternative syntax for `dplyr` that replaces boring old function names with GenZ slang. Your data wrangling is about to hit different.

Whoever decided to host the poster session in the Natural history museum you are my hero! 🤩

Looking forward to learning about DINOSAURS!!!

Best of both worlds? Start with the Smörgåstårta, followed by Fish n Chips (with mushy peas obvi), and round it out with the Prinsesstårta. Simple!

They've done it again... This time with adding (unnecessary) visual detail to the zero commit days. Inconsolable 😭😭😭

I feel like GitHub has (very subtly) modified the gradient they use for ones contributions calendar... I am going to need 2-4 business days to come to terms with this…

New paper! (arxiv.org/abs/2503.14093) I haven’t been this excited about one in a while, and I think the theory @mhab.bsky.social develops here will be a big step forward for the field. Why? Let me explain 🧵...

Tanya Strydom @tanyadoesscience.bsky.social · Feb 27

I had a class of 4th graders and 10th graders! And yeah for sure! 🥰 Or they're asking 'big questions' and you're questioning why we as a field haven't thought of it yet!

Thanks @gracielle.science for passively convincing me to register! xx

Tanya Strydom @tanyadoesscience.bsky.social · Feb 26

I've just had two @skypeascientist.bsky.social sessions today, and honestly it might just be the most rewarding part of this job. 🥲 Highly recommended for anyone who has the bandwidth/time for some science outreach

Reporting from the trenches - i.e., emerging after a battle trying to use excel formulas and conditional formatting... Why does it all have to be one line though??

Get simulating! #Biodiversity / #foodweb dynamics with #julialang. Classic bioenergetic model, consolidation of lots of add-ons & super fast.

Very happy to share this, a result of amazing collaborators and a rich history of model development.

Current me: Right I’ve said yes to this review I’m going to get it done in the next few days and submit my comments nice and early

Me in a fortnight: Submitting my review the day before the deadline counts as early right?

Tanya Strydom @tanyadoesscience.bsky.social · Dec 19

The lack of post it notes is disappointing… :p

Tanya Strydom @tanyadoesscience.bsky.social · Dec 18

I recently made the jump to using Quarto (which you can host via GitHub pages). Quarto is also handy if you’re also keen on the reproducible reports (think Rmd manuscripts) space. It’s a bit of a learning curve but a fun one!

Love doing science but hate all the meetings?

Clear your calendar by becoming Secluded Academic! Retire to your study and don’t emerge or discuss your ideas with anyone for 12-15 years at a time! Publish 1 magnum opus at the end of your career but make everyone wonder if you’re still alive!

This! Important work in terms of helping us to get (be) better in terms of how we are defining and delimiting networks
