And still be thankful for having that option, because it is not happening to us.

It is incredible (or incredibly sad) how we had to develop a skill of recomposing ourselves after witnessing horrendous scenes of athrocities happening in Palestine just so that we can go back to work instead of crying our eyes out for the rest of the day.

Which Kind of Science Reform What hope is there for science reform, if we can't agree on what to reform? Right now, principles are more important than practices.

How can we reform science? I have some ideas. But I am not sure you’ll like them, because they don’t promise much. elevanth.org/blog/2025/07...

I think we will have to wait until the next generation of senior scientists to see the change happen...

A chic lady (in a French outfit) shows off her gallery: a plot, a hex sticker of a group she loves, and a how to guide with an homage to the penguin dataset. It says "Volunteer to be an R-Ladies curator" with the subtitle "Showcase what you love about R" as well as the link to it! All in dashing purple.

Welcome, Max!

Year two of gardening: the slugs have decided to share. We might get actual food this time!

🎉New paper out @jevbio.bsky.social 🎉

We show that unpredictability in escape behavior of a grasshopper species is partly heritable and may be linked to a boldness behavioral syndrome 🦗💨

R for Data Science (2e)

New to data science with #RStats or need a refresher? I always recommend R for Data Science (r4ds.hadley.nz) – a free online book by @hadley.nz that takes you from importing data to statistical modeling in a gentle, beginner-friendly way. #datascience #rladies #r4ds

🚨 ESEB 2025, here we come! 🚨
We're thrilled to announce our symposium:
"Enhancing Diversity & Transparency in Ecology & Evolution: Reliable Practices for Research & Organizations" 🌍✨
Featuring invited speakers:
🔹 Dr. Malgorzata (Losia) Lagisz
🔹 Dr. Joel Pick
📅 Aug 17-22, 2025 | 📍 Barcelona, Spain

I have always been proud to be part of @rladies.org, now even more 💜

Wow.

"56 laboratories performed 143 replications of 56 experiments; 96 replications of 47 experiments were considered valid [...] Replication rates for these experiments varied between 15 & 45% according to five predefined criteria [...] effect sizes were 60% larger in original experiments"

Nothing excites me more (at work) than writing R packages... I wish I could work full time with that. Anyone has an idea where I could find such a job? 😅

Hi Could you add me? I am currently organizing a series of workshops on reproducibility tools for R

If you do not have package ideas, you can still join and collaborate with others. No previous knowledge on package development is required!

This package will be essential during our subsequent hands-on meetings, so we invited Dr. Sébastien Rochette, the creator of {fusen}, to give us an introduction.

First meeting will be this friday, 31.01.2025, at 4:30 PM.

In this 1h workshop, we will be introduced to the package {fusen}, which "magically" transforms R markdown files into packages with the structure required for CRAN submission.

Glad to announce our workshop series on R Package development is starting this friday! If you are interested in learning about R package development, we will meet regularly to develop package ideas, from writing the first funtion until submission to CRAN.

We found that the unpredictability level in escape behavior of grasshoppers is relatively constant throughout an individual's life, but that differences among individuals increase during ontogeny!
