Stopped using "X" years ago and have finally made a switch. Hope to reconnect with folks and touch back in to the social land to share and talk about open science, research software, ecology, and public health. 🙌

I am updating a package that implements an analytical method. The update will mean a fundamental change in the outputs compared to the current version of the pkg (but is based on consult with experts).

Do you run or participate in a code club at your institution, or are you interested in starting one but don’t know where to begin? @cecibaldoni.bsky.social and I are leading an ‘unconference’ discussion at @sortee.bsky.social’s virtual conference on October 16 - come share some tips and ideas!

Very excited to be travelling to Melbourne to speak at WOMBAT2025 about community building & code review. Really looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and new. 🙌
WOMBAT 2025 is just 1 (one!) week away. If you haven't register already, time is running out! 🕰️

Our latest #SORTEE-led paper is out now in #ProcB!
We reviewed data/code-sharing policy clarity, strictness & timing across 275 EcoEvo journals
We also worked with #ProcB & #EcologyLetters to assess initial compliance with sharing mandates. Huge team effort! 👉 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

From policy to practice: progress towards data- and code-sharing in ecology and evolution | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Data and code are essential for ensuring the credibility of scientific results and facilitating reproducibility, areas in which journal sharing policies play a crucial role. However, in ecology and evolution, we still do not know how widespread data- and ...

🙌 wonderful work leading this @asanchez-tojar.bsky.social, @eivimeycook.bsky.social, and @nickmoran-sci.bsky.social.
Transparency with open data and code sharing is a critical first step in the quality control pipeline for research code.

📣 Hot off the press at #ProcB!
🔍 Our study checked data/code-sharing policies in 275 eco/evo journals and compliance in Proc B (n=2,340) & Ecology Letters (n=571). Policies exist, but clarity and strictness vary, affecting reproducibility.

Going to start a series of threads on what I've been learning as I get an #rstats 📦 ready to submit to @ropensci.org.
Every time I think the package is "ready" I find another checklist I haven't been through, but it's making it all the better.
This first thread is on github actions!
