I'm teaching Statistical Rethinking again starting Jan 2026. This time with live lectures, divided into Beginner and Experienced sections. Will be a lot more work for me, but I hope much better for students.
I will record lectures & all will be found at this link: github.com/rmcelreath/s...

🌎 Experiments are central to understanding community dynamics, yet their use is declining.
We're trying to understand why.
If you work in community ecology, we'd really appreciate your input in a quick survey (<5 mins).
