Time to make it Twitter-official: I'll be starting a PhD this fall at @UCLAEEB in @NoaPinter 's lab, working on social and spatial networks in vultures! Data + birds + spatial/social ecology = 😍. I'm grateful to all who helped with the application process! 📸 : Pierre Dalous

I rarely ask questions during conferences, so I unfortunately contribute to these statistics. So, how can we create conferences in which people from under-represented groups (including female scientists) feel comfortable to raise their hands and get their voices heard?

Coming tomorrow (real post title): "I had to quit a job because of aggressive nesting geese"

Do I know anyone in the St. Louis area? Looking for volunteer helpers for an intro R workshop hosted at the St. Louis Zoo on Friday, October 20. DM me for more info, or if you have ideas where I should post/advertise!

I think we all know, or wish we knew, or have been, some of these people. As a bonus, this really makes me think critically about helper/mentor "roles", à la @thecarpentries pedagogy training 🤔

SORTEE’s conference is approaching quickly. This year we have opted for a format that facilitates lively exchanges of ideas and which has led to wonderful outcomes (see 🧵). 📢#SORTEE2023 will consist of 3 participatory event types: 1⃣ Unconferences 2⃣ Hackathons 3⃣ Workshops

I was fired from UCLA 4 times in a year - a 🧵 When I started grad school I thought I just needed to find the right lab environment to thrive. However, despite having an amazing PI, the UCLA academic environment has presented many unforeseen barriers to pursuing my thesis

that thing where at the end of a long work week you swear you're taking a bare minimum 48 hours away from coding but then your brain betrays you first thing Saturday morning with an irresistible idea🧟‍♀️

Hey, all drone pilots in Berkeley - There is a nest of three Peregrine falcon chicks about to fly for the first time. Stop flying your drone at the Campanile RIGHT NOW. To everyone else: please get this message spread far and wide #drones #dronepilot #berkeley #cal #california

Evidence from psychology shows that @RegReports have a lower positive result rate than the standard literature & likely reduce #publicationbias & QRPs 📰by @annemscheel Mitchell Schijen & @lakens https://t.co/soUT2yoNLS Time for eco & evo to support @RegReports!

Finally, one I can attend! Join me for this exciting webinar.

I'd be so excited to attend this workshop if I didn't have a conflict--highly recommend signing up! #rstats #leaflet #javascript #datascience

Retweet if you’re okay actually with not having your shows for a while if it means the people who write them get paid a fair wage.
