@epmcool.bsky.social gotta send in a better track

Those look incredible, I'm jealous of the facial detail on the center one. I always end up punting on faces

Donut Land in Tualatin is also helping out!

Probably too late, but very comfortable with wrangling, analysis and viz using #Rstats, happy to help with this or other questions

Though my background is cancer biology, so quite distinct from this dataset

It's so bad, my three year old walks 30ft ahead of me on the sidewalk before I say "slow down a bit bud"

And as a "study Biology to disprove it" traveler, what stuck was listening to religious professors

"That progress didn’t come from outsiders or even nonpracticing Muslims like me; it came from scholars, thinkers and activists who argued for the compatibility of Islam and evolution."

Opinion | I’m a former creationist. Here’s why ‘follow the science’ failed. The moment I finally admitted that Darwin was right didn’t feel liberating. It felt like grief.

Found this articulating a fear I've never been able to put my finger on:

"if we allow science to become just another tribe, we will be asking people to choose between their loved ones and abstract principles"
"asking them to pay an almost unimaginable price."

Same energy tbh

People focusing on the 65%, but how many *total* people would you "trust" in that definition?

I'd say the 8% is a bigger outlier, you know TWO Kevins you trust with your money? Pft, we're good

Gah, obviously good news but bittersweet

Sadly not with a -1.5, she's still reading clearly within 10ft

This looks a little disingenuous in framing. The most recent trading was in February by the 1W chart, and the market is already marked as resolved, so doesn't appear to be anything informed by recent events(?)

I always knew AI would come for me, but

Really enjoyed speaking to Cascadia R Conference today! Materials from my talk are at rfortherestofus.com/cascadia2025. #rstats

Who’s ready?! #RStats #DataScience

After setting up the required infrastructure on CRAN with several packages providing static libraries, I finally have some new #rayverse features on the way! Shown here: dynamic sky generation for a given lat/long and time of day, based on the Hosek-Wilkie radiance model.

As a cancer biologist, it's usually a red flag when someone leads with "I'm really into science"

Some combination of the broadest top-level word, the encapsulation of a colossal academic field into a hobby, you know something wild is coming next.

DM, I'm casting Detect Evil and Good within 30 feet of Miller. You have to tell me if he's an aberration, celestial, elemental, fey, fiend or undead
