My first R package is now available on CRAN! Shinyscholar is a template for creating complex analytical applications that are reproducible outside the application. 🧵 cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

Yes please! Thanks

@ethanpfreedman.com could you repost the above to Ecology and Conservation? Thanks :)

How does software change when users are involved from day one? Check out our new BioScience paper led with the Colombia Biodiversity Observation Network - we show how collaborative design can help create tools for biodiversity conservation. 🧪🌎👩‍🔬 academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

Oh snap, so excited to see my fav the red shanked douc Pygathrix nemaeus on the March Mammal Madness bracket this year and with the high ranking it so deserves. 🌎 🧪

Here is my #HiSciSky !! 💙

A white graph on a shaded gray background. The horizontal axis range is "Round" to "Elf" and the vertical axis range is "Cat" to "Airplane." Distributed around the graph are 17 photos of ring-tailed lemurs; the images have been cropped to show only the heads. They are plotted to the graph based on the angle and shape of their ears.

There are many reasons to love Duke Lemur Center, the latest is a graph mapping individual variations in the center's ring-tailed lemurs, based on ear angle & pointiness

Angle range: Cat (straight up) to Airplane (side-to-side)
Pointiness range: Round to Elf
