A deep dive into tidyverse-style functional programming that can save hours—and headaches.

What if your R code could be simpler, clearer, and easier to maintain? Functional programming helps build tools rather than scripts, and changes how you think about solving problems.

The Urban Exploration Project is a collaborative initiative developed in close partnership with the National Geographic Society. It combines the powers of inclusive community building, cutting-edge technology, local empowerment, education and storytelling, to forge innovative pathways towards sustainable human&ndash;wildlife coexistence in the world&rsquo;s unprotected areas, complementing the established 30x30 Initiative. Specifically, the project aims to produce a holistic understanding of animal behaviour in human-modified landscapes, by building a global network of ~250 field teams over ~10 years, to track ~10,000 animals across gradients of urbanisation worldwide. This major collaborative effort will fill critical evidence gaps on human&ndash;wildlife interactions, enabling innovative, context-appropriate and scalable approaches to environmental planning, conservation management, and policy making. This is an exciting opportunity for candidates interested in movement ecology, animal tracking, conservation and sustainability science, environmental planning, human&ndash;wildlife coexistence, project management and/or consortium-style, big-data research. The post&rsquo;s primary duties are to provide assistance with pilot research activities and project management.

Elisabeth Vrba, la mosquetera que revolucionó la paleobiología En febrero falleció la paleobióloga Elisabeth Vrba, que logró integrar la teoría evolutiva, el neodarwinismo, con las nuevas evidencias derivadas del estudio del registro fósil

📖 Elisabeth Vrba, la mosquetera que revolucionó la paleobiología en El País: elpais.com/ciencia/2025...

#Paleobiology #ElisabethVrba #ScienceLegacy #WomenInSTEM #Evolution #ClimateAndEvolution #Paleontology

Su legado sigue vivo en cada estudio que explora cómo los cambios ambientales moldean la evolución. Os invitamos a leer este homenaje y a descubrir más sobre su increíble trayectoria.

Más allá de su impacto en la ciencia, Vrba fue una pionera en un campo dominado por hombres. Su rigor, pasión y valentía abrieron camino para muchas otras investigadoras.

Vrba revolucionó la paleobiología con sus estudios sobre la relación entre el clima y la evolución de los mamíferos. Su teoría del efecto trampolín sigue siendo una referencia clave para entender los cambios biológicos a gran escala.
