Finally feeling recovered after the field and lab crash! Our field sites cover different vegetation types in the tundra, and we have been sampling to see what’s going on below the ground. We’ve been in the lab processing some samples since we got back; I’m excited to get on with the analysis now…

You can’t learn #rstats just by reading books or watching videos of other people writing R code. You will learn faster if you find some data that you are curious about and use your new coding skills to answer a question about it.

I was feeling pretty rubbish this morning (my hockey teams both lost last night and I have killer hay-fever), but I read a really great essay from one of my tutees that engaged in all the things we’ve discussed this term, and it’s genuinely made my day! ☺️😌 feels like a rare teaching win #academicsky

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.
Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3
