Canceling $10,000 in student debt when the average white borrower is $12,000 in debt, while Black women hold on average over $52,000 isn’t just unacceptable, it’s structural racism.

We're happy to announce a three-day virtual short course on nimble, 4-6 January 2023, including new (currently beta) features such as automatic differentiation, Laplace approximation, and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. More info: r-nimble.org/nimble-virtual…

nimble has now been used in around 200 peer-reviewed publications. For those new to nimble, you can write models in a language like JAGS/BUGS, add new functions, and customize MCMC samplers. Here are a few recent highlights of #nimbleInAction. Please share your own too. 1/6

We're expecting to look for a part-time R/nimble/(maybe C++) programmer. More info: r-nimble.org/were-looking-f…

Thread on what not to believe about what faculty should do during the strike by @uaw2865 UAW Local 5810 Student Researchers United-UAW for #FairUCNow. There's a lot of misinformation being spread by Univ California and UC Berkeley

Another untruth from UC Berkeley today. "Faculty members are aware that they must ensure that instruction is delivered to their students. Some faculty may, for instance, record materials that might be covered in a discussion section and share this recording via bCourses".

This is what union power looks like across several of the UC campuses 🎉 (featuring UCB, UCSD, UCR, and UCLA)

I stand in strong solidarity with the 48,000 academic workers at the University of California who are on strike for higher wages, better child care benefits, and expanded paid leave.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, we urge all faculty to come join us at the picket on Sproul and Bancroft at 11.30am so we can show our collective support for the historic strike by UAW 2865 - Berkeley Student Researchers United-UAW UAW Local 5810 Wear academic robes or bring signs #FairUCNow #StrongerTogether

Dive in to all things data at our next Collabinar on Mar. 7 at 12:00 PM PST! If you've ever wondered what happens with all that iNaturalist and eBird #CitizenScience data, join us in-person or via Zoom with Sara Stoudt, PhD & Ben Goldstein. Register here: education.ucdavis.edu/blog-entry/col…

Global biodiversity data used to make major policy and conservation investment decisions reflect legacies of social and political inequities. A new #SciencePolicyForum highlights this issue and its implications for global conservation policy and planning. scim.ag/5uf

So excited to share this paper from me, Ben Goldstein, and Justin Brashares. If you’re interested in diel occupancy models, #cannabis and wildlife, or the variation in animal responses to human disturbance, be sure to give it a read! #cannabisresearch #oregon #RStats

Was an absolute joy working on this paper with Ben Goldstein, Sara Stoudt, PhD, Jayme Lewthwaite, and Melissa Guzman out now in ESA Frontiers. We examined which traits predispose butterflies to being over- or underreported in iNaturalist data. doi.org/10.1002/fee.27…

We’re missing out on a lot important science. This is why we offer short 2-pagers to help publish your datasets, negative results, and other findings that don’t fit into a full-length article ✨
