“First, reduce “statistical machismo”, or the tendency to adopt and advocate for more complex approaches for their own sake rather than because they are the best tool for the job”… I mean…

I am glad to see this piece out in Frontiers. Ecologists must consider why we do what we do in the 1st place!

Yesterday in journal club we read this paper onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/.... And we had thoughts!

We have the publication associated to the BlueCarbon library!

Very happy with the review process and transparency of @joss-openjournals.bsky.social
Please cite this article if your are one of the more than 1700 downloads of the package :D

R dev friends -

I am updating a package that implements an analytical method. The update will mean a fundamental change in the outputs compared to the current version of the pkg (but is based on consult with experts).

Do you run or participate in a code club at your institution, or are you interested in starting one but don’t know where to begin? @cecibaldoni.bsky.social and I are leading an ‘unconference’ discussion at @sortee.bsky.social’s virtual conference on October 16 - come share some tips and ideas!

Very excited to be travelling to Melbourne to speak at WOMBAT2025 about community building & code review. Really looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and new. 🙌

Our latest #SORTEE-led paper is out now in #ProcB!

We reviewed data/code-sharing policy clarity, strictness & timing across 275 EcoEvo journals

We also worked with #ProcB & #EcologyLetters to assess initial compliance with sharing mandates. Huge team effort! 👉 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

🙌 wonderful work leading this @asanchez-tojar.bsky.social, @eivimeycook.bsky.social, and @nickmoran-sci.bsky.social.

Transparency with open data and code sharing is a critical first step in the quality control pipeline for research code.

very excited to be joining the Research Software Asia Australia conference this week #RSAA25

Speaking tomorrow "Piloting peer code review in a research consortium community of practice". Happy to be meeting with like minds 🥳

My lab @mpi-muenster.bsky.social is looking for a computational biologist with a passion for imaging and spatial biology. A staff scientist position with long-term perspective! Apply and spread the word 🙏 jobs.mpi-muenster.mpg.de/jobposting/0...

PhD swamp life 👩‍🎓🌱, and a classic from spotlighting for ringtail possums with Nick Golding, who I still have the pleasure of working with today 🤩

We’re excited to announce the International Research Software Conference (IRSC)!

7–8 September 2026 | Sheffield, UK & online | Co-located with #RSECon26 @society-rse.org

Going to start a series of threads on what I've been learning as I get an #rstats 📦 ready to submit to @ropensci.org.

Every time I think the package is "ready" I find another checklist I haven't been through, but it's making it all the better.

This first thread is on github actions!

Stopped using "X" years ago and have finally made a switch. Hope to reconnect with folks and touch back in to the social land to share and talk about open science, research software, ecology, and public health. 🙌
