Coming up in March! Join @sortee.bsky.social for a webinar with @daxkellie.bsky.social on good, shareable, and reproducible R code - register here: events.humanitix.com/sortee-webin...
fantastic ! but put points over boxplot - dont hide them
which threads - ugh i wish i knoew how to #rstats bluesky
Yo Dawg! I heard you like biorxiv preprints
postd without comment
roses are red
why hello tom you
predict with a BLUP
estimate with a BLUE
i missed this www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/ple... h/t @emjo.bsky.social
I asked chat gpt to rewrite "I’m Comic Sans, Asshole"

Me to students: "Don't just take a screenshot of your R output and paste it in your document, thats unprofessional"
NYT to ME:
{livelink} walked so {webrarian} could run. Mini browser-based #rstats environments powered by #webR and its 4-panel editor. YAML config, build, preview. Done.
R package coming soon. #pyodide folks, stay tuned.
Congrats @jeffgroh.bsky.social et al. Some avocado trees open female-phase flowers in the morning & then male in afternoon. Others show complementary pattern (m->f), to synchronize pollination of two types. Jeff show this to be a >45Mya polymorphism at a transcription factor across 100s of species.

Available now in @asn-amnat.bsky.social ! Taking on some big-scale natural history: processed >40k @inaturalist.bsky.social images of Monarda fistulosa using computer vision to query for flower presence and phenotype flower color: doi.org/10.1086/739413
i dont knoe eho needs to hear this (but someone does)
you should not use file.choose()
BUT IF YOU DO
PLEASE DO NOT PUT IT IN A RMARKDOWN FILE
Three schematic diagrams. The first illustrates selective publishing of internal resection, the second selective causal focus, and the third selective access and funding for researchers.
1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv.
There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.
and the best data from a great student i was lucky to collaborate with and who will get my comments on her draft MS today
Will spend the next year fixing typos and integrating ideas from using it this semester & adding content on
-Other linear models (Regression, ANCOVA, Types of Sums of Squares, Interactions etc)
- Causal Inference,
- Experimental Design
- GLM
- Mixed effect models
- Robust stats
- Model Evaluation
Proud of the latest edition of my free intro biostats book.
gitrepo: github.com/ybrandvain/b...
book: ybrandvain.github.io/biostats/
Not complete but at a good point to take a break, and I think its quite usable
dm me with comments , ideas etc
Really excited to share our new paper on #causalinference & #climatechange attribution out in #EcologyLetters today!
Are you asking "how much" or "if" climate change has impacted your system, then this paper is for you!

another way to think about this:
-should someone else spend a month modeling the process of soliciting tenure evaluations, hoping to uncover some interesting problems of scale?
if no, some publication seems worthwhile. Although perhaps some future REsearcher may do the study after missing your pub
Yo dawg meme: Top: "Yo dawg, I heard you like communicating uncertainty" Bottom: "So I put confidence intervals on your confidence intervals so you could express uncertainty in your uncertainty"
working on my material for next semester.
this one ended up on the cutting room floor

Fauci is not exactly Vavilov but Lysenkoists in charge might send him to an El Salvadorian gulag
Two research teams from @cnrs.fr @sbroscoff.bsky.social carried a comparative analysis in flowering plants that supports the prediction that inbreeding, such as self-fertilization, selects for higher recombination rates:

The package logo, a small cute elephant holding a quill and writing promptdown
Just made promptdown public. It's a plain-text interface for working with LLMs using literate programming.
See and edit the full prompt each turn.
No cramped input boxes, no hidden context, no append-only chat.
Still early alpha, feedback welcome!

"illustrates how marvellously flexible plant reproductive systems can be." ...discovery that sunflower seeds can develop without fertilization and endosperm (!) 🌾🧪https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00904-8
Really excited to see this work, led by Mike Grundler, published! It's a new method for inferring the geographic locations of shared genetic ancestors. In the paper, we and use it to infer the geographic history of human genetic ancestry

Our department (@EEBUofT) is searching for a Post-Doc! Post-docs funded by this fellowship are independently supported, with research funds available. We invite applications from innovative, collaborative candidates. See the job ad here:
eeb.utoronto.ca/wp-content/u...
For true DMI afficiandos, we also were intrigued by results on the genotype combinations under selection at different incompatibilities. Any comments welcome and thanks to many co-authors including @gilrosenthal.bsky.social @ybrandvain.bsky.social @pandolfatto.bsky.social & others not on bluesky
