Absolutely wonderful week at our writing retreat up in the Cascades Mountains with all but one person from my lab group! Everyone met or exceeded their goals and we had a great time socializing as well.

Is remote work a possibility? 😉

Hiring a data/lab manager in my research group! Mostly data “wrangling”, data viz, coding for analysis, lots of learning on the job, coordinating our global data projects with many collaborators, oversight of lab operations. 23 June deadline. Job # 78844 jobs.universityofcalifornia.edu

We live in a beautiful state, and we are lucky we get to share these amazing places with abundant fish and wildlife.

Yes—it's terrible and I'm sorry for everyone going through this.

My biggest worry is that I won't be able to keep my promise to each of my students to see them through their academic journeys.

This week on What's New in R:

✅ A guide by James Bartlett on disseminating Quarto projects with GitHub Pages
✅ Matt Kmiecik’s personal journey into R programming
✅ {flexoKi}, a new package for working with colors, developed by @scheuerell.bsky.social

Cool stuff! Paul L looks more-or-less the same as it did during my first summer there 35 years ago!

This was a great opportunity, especially for my PhD student Angela Dillon, to share knowledge about #water and the #environment with judges in WA state, a highly engaged and curious group. 🌎 🧪

Juvenile salmonids traverse saltwater environments to inhabit non-natal drainages among Deep Creek, West Twin River, and East Twin River freshwater systems along the Olympic Peninsula, in western Washington State. This schematic highlights empirically observed paths of two juvenile coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch, orange and purple) and one juvenile Oncorhynchus mykiss (yellow) that made complex movements among drainages over periods of 203 days, 305 days, and 241 days, respectively. Numbers track individuals’ chronological detection sequences. Arrows indicate movement paths among drainages, with dashed line arrows showing additional details of individuals that moved back and forth between the East Twin and West Twin Rivers. For presentation purposes, points and arrows are staggered vertically, distances between streams are compressed, and the bottom of the figure points north. Image credit: Su Kim
