Here are links to the source code for a few more integrated #fisheries #stockassessment models:
- SAM (used frequently in Europe): github.com/fishfollower...
- WHAM (newer model from NEFSC): github.com/timjmiller/w...
- FIMS (in development by NOAA staff): github.com/noaa-fims/fi...

‪@jebyrnes.bsky.social‬, good question. The source code for most integrated stock assessment models is on GitHub. I'm most familiar with Stock Synthesis (SS3): github.com/nmfs-ost/ss3.... Let me know if you have questions.

Thanks for sharing. The Warlick et al. link didn't work. Here's the fixed one: journals.plos.org/climate/arti...

To clarify, the emails were from folks who were departing. Thankfully, Kiva is still with us.

Here's the status today:
1. lease process cancelled
2. maintenance and janitorial contracts not renewed (cart in the hallway with cleaning supplies for us to use)
3. pile driving next door (just measured 88 decibels)
4. telework policy terminated--everyone back in office on April 21.

Getting federal-government-wide blast emails asking us to quit isn't helping us focus on getting this important work done.

One of our biggest challenges is that there aren't enough of us to do all the work that needs to be done. Offers to backfill vacant positions have been interrupted by a hiring freeze.

For anyone who prefers the instructions with accordion accompaniment, Geoff Berner has a song for that: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XS-...

Second listing for the same job for folks who are already federal employees: www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewD... (who can apply to both).

These two #fisheries #stockassessment jobs have been re-posted due to an error in the original listing. New deadline is Dec 26. www.usajobs.gov/job/82490680...

I was taught pickleball in gym class in public school in the 80s (in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, where it all began). It's easier, cheaper, and generally more accessible than tennis (but still very white).

Exactly. It's really frustrating, but it's also hard to complain when you see labor costs vs budget problems that you described perfectly in this thread. Note that in addition to reducing staff we're also looking at reductions in data collection (surveys) due to budget limitations.
