I recently came across this image and it’s a great way to summarize how I feel about my work. Whether supporting other consultants through resources or referrals, or supporting people in their data management work, helping to lift other people up benefits us all.

Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp....

genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.

As an #rstats user, I am proud of my #python brothers and sisters for standing up for their community. It's a shame they won't have these resources, but community is and always has been what makes a language great. Today the python world stood up for theirs

🌊✊ Solidarity with Leonid Pshenichnov — the Ukrainian biologist arrested for backing curbs on Antarctic krill fishing. Protecting ecosystems isn’t treason. It’s good science, and it’s our future.

Dorsch und Hering stehen in der Ostsee vor dem Aussterben. Die letzten Fische werden weggefangen, bevor sie sich fortpflanzen können. Wir brauchen ein Fangmoratorium und ein striktes Verbot der Grundschleppnetzfischerei, die den Ostseeboden zerstört.

Rund um das Wrack der Ostsee-Fähre "Estonia" gilt ein Tauchverbot. Nach Recherchen von WDR, NDR und SZ besteht jedoch der Verdacht, dass Russland den Ort für Unterwasserspionage gegen die NATO nutzt.

Possibly weirded out my long-suffering colleagues with this idiosyncratic observation last week, and feel like it belongs in a meme.

In exchange for not sending Tomahawks, I promised Donald I would give up land Russia does not control in Zaporizhzhia & Kherson. In return, Ukraine would give Russia land we also do not control in Donbas.

Donald and the art of the deal.

Hey folks!

#Geology often gets overlooked in schools

Which is crazy, because it explains why the world looks the way it does – from #mountain ranges to the ground beneath your feet

So I want to fix that! How?

By making a new educational tool for cool experiments in schools <3

Since we’ve been talking reef health today, let’s talk one of the methods used to monitor it across thousands of square km.
Enter: manta tow.
A survey method so bold it involves a human holding onto a board… being dragged behind a boat. 🧵👇
