You may recall Jacob Rees-Mogg’s unutterably stupid poll on whether or not to revert to the imperial measurement system with its very carefully scripted choices that offered “imperial only” and “imperial with metric” but forced you to go down the “other (write in)” option to say “metric only.”
HMG have used the Christmas break to slip out the conclusion of the poll. Jump to paragraph 18 to get the numbers. 81% were happy with the status quo and 17% wanted metric-only.
In the grand scheme of things, compared to the PPE Preferential Access scandal for example, this was only a small waste of money but, even so, it pisses me off.
The Journal of Archaeological Science has just introduced a 'a Reproducibility Prize for papers that share in a transparent, clear and detailed manner their data, protocols and/or code', and announced the first winners. Congratulations Andrew McLean and @xrubio!
What a fantastic initiative to recognise the huge effort that researchers put into their work to make it open. I hope other journals will similarly encourage this commitment to reproducibility.
fmesher 0.1.4 and inlabru 2.10.0 in source package form are now on CRAN (probably the fastest acceptance ever!); their binary builds for Mac and Windows usually take a few days.
For fmesher, mostly invisible C++ upgrades, but for inlabru a mix of bug fixes and minor feature updates. See news at https://inlabru-org.github.io/fmesher/news/ and https://inlabru-org.github.io/inlabru/news/
Also a new example of zero-inflated spatial count models thanks to @dmi3kno at https://inlabru-org.github.io/inlabru/articles/zip_zap_models.html #rspatial
I don't think I've ever shared this here...a clean timeline requires discipline:
Unfortunately I'm needed to pick up a sick toddler from nursey and so can only guess at what is being discussed in the project meeting happening right now. However, I am fairly sure @BobOHara has been replaced by a robot:
#job Announcement: #researcher in Quantitative #ecology
Be my colleague! We're looking to fill a permanent researcher position in quantitative ecology at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research. Fantastic place to work and brilliant people. See more details here: https://nina-english.attract.reachmee.com/jobs/34-researcher-with-modelling-competence
@jobsecoevo Last couple of days to apply to this #PhD position in pollination ecology. The successful candidate for the #job will get to work with an amazing team at The Norweigan Institute for Nature Research and the University of Bergen, learn some cool analysis skills, and get to work in some beautiful fieldsites such as the one pictured below. See https://nina-english.attract.reachmee.com/jobs/30-phd-position-in-nature-based-solutions-with-foc for more details
#job Ad: #PhD in Pollination Ecology
Anyone fancy doing a PhD on the uses of wild bee pollination as a nature-based solution in fjordside horticultural production? If you like the idea of having fieldsites that look like the one pictured below then check this out: https://nina-english.attract.reachmee.com/jobs/30-phd-position-in-nature-based-solutions-with-foc @jobsecoevo
@koen_hufkens thank you! Good to know! We're still a little way off going 'live' with the package but this is all super useful info
@koen_hufkens thanks for your thoughts here! I havent run packages through ROpenSci before but now I'm back from paternity leave we're getting close to the release of a package that we were planning to run through them. However, with funding cycles in research being what they are, then none of the current developers can commit to constant maintenance. Updates to a package are likely to be a stop-start with fewer and more intermittent but large updates. It sounds like this maintenance model might be fundamentally incompatible with ROpenSci requirements
