Had fun meeting our new Statistical Data Science MSc students today. Really excited about this programme which is a collaboration between Computer Science, Mathematics & Statistics and the Humanities. Looking forward to seeing what they can do! #SDS #UniversityOfExeter

Floella Benjamin introducing Rik Mayall is very funny, and very touching, and his five mantras for a full life sound pretty anarchistic to me…

In 2020, we showed that studies published in ecological journals WITH a code-sharing policy showed a 21% reproducibility potential at max (Culina et al 2020, @plosbiology.bsky.social)

We've now investigated journals WITHOUT a code-sharing policy. The results are worrying.

Code-sharing policies are associated with increased reproducibility potential of ecological findings

In the later stages of getting to do a dream: a fully replicable manuscript.

Every single number, stat, figure, etc. in the manuscript has a complete, open and pushbutton full pipeline all the way from data collection to seeing the number on the page.

All the links to packages and resources I mentioned are there, so hopefully this can be a nice reference, too!
