#mapmixture news: version 1.1.4 release includes some extra options to customise the admixture map and structure plots. install from CRAN with install.packages("mapmixture"), requires R-4.2+ to be installed. github.com/Tom-Jenkins/ma…

The informal poll results are in, & as I feared, most people are running ANOVAs in #R with functions that can give highly misleading (or flat out wrong) results. Follow along to see why using anova() and aov() is usually inadvisable & why you should be using car::Anova() 🧵

Pipelines with easy conda setup have been tested and are ready to try out, now with customisable input parameters. They are a simple alternative to bash loops or other means to run paired reads through routine bioinformatics tasks. Feedback welcome! github.com/Tom-Jenkins/ne…

🚨 Stop chasing the p-value! Increasing your sample size will always yield a significant result. Even for trivial differences. 🎮 I created a little interactive playground to illustrate this issue: react-graph-gallery.com/example/t-test… Always pair p-values with effect sizes!

Great to see #mapmixture being used for maps other than admixture. This study used the R package to plot proportions of a sample with species ecotype X, and allele frequencies of cod across sites in Norway. doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2…

More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

#mapmixture news: Version 1.2.0 release includes option to plot pies of different sizes, and preserving the individual input order on the structure plot. Install from CRAN with install.packages("mapmixture") github.com/Tom-Jenkins/ma…

I think I’d like a future job in app or dashboard development, because I really enjoy it! Here is my attempt at a Real-Time Earthquake Dashboard using US Geological Survey and Cesium APIs. earthquake-dashboard.netlify.app

We're so proud of Dr Michelle Taylor of School of Life Sciences, University of Essex as she leads an Schmidt Ocean and Ocean Census expedition to the remote #SouthSandwichIsands that skirt Antartica. They are searching for new species and investigating the impact of deep sea volcanos. brnw.ch/21wRgSB
