Hi #ESAus23 👋😁 The ALA stand finally arrived! Come say hi to Shandiya Balasubramaniam & I + grab some galah and ALA hex stickers! Ecological Society of Australia

Want to learn some small steps with big impacts that you can use to make your code more reproducible? 🧑‍💻 Come see my talk this arvo at 3:45pm! #ESAus23 Ecological Society of Australia

1. Use R projects 2. {here} package to actually see where you’re grabbing data 3. Keep track of packages with {renv} 4. Use GitHub and a README 5. Use simple clear names. Helpful for you and for others 6. ### Annotate your code ### 7. Quarto Thanks Dax Kellie #ESAus23

If you missed my talk today but still want to know (or remember) some small steps you can take to make your code more reproducible, you can find my slides here! Slides: daxkellie.quarto.pub/how-to-make-a-… GitHub: github.com/daxkellie/esa2… #ESAus23 Ecological Society of Australia #rstats

Open-science practices don't (all) require big investments of time and effort. This great post by Dax Kellie and @westgatecology introduces small and achievable steps to improve R code reproducibility that can have a big impact ecoevocommunity.nature.com/posts/improvin…

Remember to get your application in for ESH2023. Details👇! #EvidenceSynthesis #Hackathon #R

Happy #NationalScienceWeek !👩‍🔬🪇 I'm giving 2 talks over the week. Come along if you want! ▪️ On Tuesday I'll be giving an intro to the {galah} package (R & Python) 📦 ▪️ On Wednesday I'm speaking about how open, transparent science facilitates research reuse in ecology 🦜🐸🦎

Our R package `galah` version 2.0.0 is on our GitHub page now; feel free to give it a spin before it goes to CRAN! Repo: github.com/AtlasOfLivin... Docs: galah.ala.org.au/R/

galah 2.0.0 takes flight on CRAN! 🐦 #Rstats New features: ✅dplyr syntax ✅Transparent query building ✅Faster parsing ✅Use `%in%`, `!`, `is. na()` ✅New advanced vignette series 🔗Changes: spr.ly/6010uAqjw 🔗More info: spr.ly/6012uAqjj Dax Kellie @westgatecology

Want to get started making R packages but nervous about how to get started? Watch this fantastic talk by @fontikar and your stress will wash away! Learn to embrace you inner-biologist and stick-poke your way to success! 🐞🐛🦋 #rstats #PositConf youtube.com/watch?v=-bzgFg…

📦 galah 2.0.2 is now on #CRAN! We've made LOTS of 🐞 bug fixes & added experimental features like: ▪️ Download records using a point radius (see 👇) ▪️ Use galah_geolocate() with GBIF + other Atlases ▪️ Improved atlas_species() See updates:🔗 spr.ly/6016bAYl8 #rstats

Learn how to run a species distribution model using {tidymodels} and {tidysdm} in a new ALA Labs post by me & Shandiya Balasubramaniam 🦜🌏 labs.ala.org.au/posts/2024-04-… #rstats #dataviz #quartopub

I just released NicheMapR v3.3.1 github.com/mrke/NicheMapR…. Now including leaf temperature calculations, snakey DEB models, torpor and hair raising effects. New vignettes can be found in the help on the NicheMapR website mrke.github.io/help/

🚨 Exciting news! 🎉 Me + a bunch of people I really like wrote a book about data cleaning in R for ecologists/biologists! I hope it helps someone do cool science 😀 @[email protected] Shandiya Balasubramaniam @westgatecology Jessica Fenker (she/her) Andrew Schwenke #rstats #quartopub #book

🔎 Have you checked out ALA's new book Cleaning Biodiversity Data in R? This hand resource will make sure you're using brains 🧠 not prawn 🦐 to get through your data cleaning tasks! 🔗 spr.ly/6015lfpof Dax Kellie @[email protected] Shandiya Balasubramaniam

Amazing to see Professor Euan Ritchie 🌏 🌳 🐾 🔥 🎶 recognised with the 2024 Australian Museum Eureka Prizes for promoting understanding of science. So well deserved, what a legend!

Wow now David Keith wins the #EurekaPrize for Botanical Science. A great night for Australian ecological research. “Long live botany, long live ecology!”

Despite providing 5% of GBIF @ecoevo.social/@gbif's global observations, the ALA's research impact is greater than it seems...🧑🏼‍🔬🧫 New UNSW research finds the ALA has supported > 9,000 authors & 2,406 scientific publications (to 2023). 63% are open-access! 🔗📚: spr.ly/6012mCn3e
