Ondrej Mottl 🌿💻📈🌍⏳

I have to admit that I love to make notes as reading😅. However, I will consolidate/delete/adjust my notes into reviewer comments after finishing my notes🙆

You can place tests anywhere. My method is to have a 'test_all.R' script that set up the environment and then run testthat::test_dir(here::here(<path to folder with tests>)

Looking forward to seeing you in Aarhus!

%notin% coming soon to an #rstats environment near you 🤩

I am very happy and honoured to be part of #JuniorFaculty

‘Anyone hired a student before?’ How a group of novice lab leaders are supporting each other By creating a network of early-career principal investigators, my colleagues and I have enacted change and battled bureaucracy.

Our article on the #JuniorFaculty initiative is now online!

You are not the only one. For some reason, I find GH Actions super daunting and expensive problems all the time...

Hey #Rstats do you know any cool R-related #podcast?
I am interested in #programming #DS #reproducibility #software #development etc
Preferably to be available on #spotify
#Rlang #rstat

That is the reason to always state namespace (or how one would call it). For example dplyr::select() and MASS::select(). I prefer to read such code, as I find out what function is from which package (especially if I do not know the package)
#Rstats

Paleo folks: Please recommend researchers (incl yourselves) interested in phylogenetic reconstruction in deep time, molecular clocks (discord w/ fossil clocks), foundational/methodological issues in phylo/paleo-reconstruction & who'd be interested in hanging w/ historians & philosophers of science ⚒️

I have found out that he has another channel dedicated to programming in C

CodeAesthetic is amazing (I have been recommending it to my students)!!! Sadly there is no new content😓

I have a cable-less keyboard (turned off) just for my kid to let them "work" while I am at the home office😅

I don't think this science communication resource gets enough love.

Interpolation with glue — str_glue These functions are wrappers around glue::glue() and glue::glue_data(), which provide a powerful and elegant syntax for interpolating strings with {}. These wrappers provide a small set of the full op...

I was aware of {glue} but did not want to add another package to the stack. However, why I am only now finding out about 'str_glue()'? I could have been using it already!

My reviews are generally structured very differently but I might give it a shot.

Like math and plant community ecology?

I am recruiting one or two new Ph.D. students to work on theory and its integration with data in the areas of forest dynamics, species coexistence, or plant community ecology more generally.

Deadlines for the EEB and Plant Biology programs are Dec. 1.

This looks cool! As not all co-authors are happy making GH PR, this might be a good solution. Has anyone actually used it?

This is the talk I needed in my life!!!

I do it so that I have that information available whenever I need it (which ia mostly for grant proposals)

renv – RStudio User Guide

{renv} is the package you need that you never know you needed

For easy to get up and running and honestly makes your life exceptionally easy.

The best scientific talk advice that gets ignored Here are some prescriptions for a case of UCPS (Unengaging Conference Presentation Syndrome).

I find there's a huge mismatch between the standard advice that people give about scientific conference talks, and how people actually give talks.

So I picked out the most important pieces of advice that are most often ignored. 🧪

Venn diagrams as jack-o-laterns showing trick/treat logicals: OR, AND, XOR, NOR, NAND, and XNOR

Halloween logicals, still the best 10/31 venn

What distro are you using? Have you tried Omarchy?

{targets} makes you feel bad when a job is done, because those computers are now being very lazy #rstats
