📦 The {BayesFR} package is now on CRAN! It allows fitting functional responses by providing dynamical prediction models for use in #brms. Includes many trophic interaction models, and now also multi-species models. #Rstats (1/3)

😄

Poor guy had no idea what's coming #caturday

Are you a postdoc in Germany? Take part in the postdoc survey! #WissZeitVG #IchBinHanna

What's wrong babe? You've barely touched your pomegranate dino

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only

A wonderful review by Stefano on 100 years of Lotka–Volterra models. Don’t miss the incredibly detailed Supplement, truly the “War and Peace” of LV models. I really wish it had existed when I was a grad student! doi.org/10.1146/annu...

80 % der Wissenschaftler*innen ohne Professur haben keinen unbefristeten Vertrag. Der Regierungsentwurf schreibt das WissZeitVG fest. 16 Organisationen fordern: aus damit. Jetzt unterschreiben: campact.org/dauerbefristung

Last year, I publicly complained multiple times (see e.g. elevanth.org/blog/2025/07...) that the open access movement had been captured by publishers, and we are now worse off than before open access. Well people got mad at me for saying it. But I think things are still getting worse.

me: *chanting* brms! brms! brms! brms! other statisticians: *chanting* BRMS! BRMS! BRMS! every Bayesian: BRMS! BRMS!!!

If you teach power analysis to undergrads or your grad students need a review, this widget may help. Includes a description and visualizations of power analyses for multiple tests, high-resolution OC charts, and sample code for #MATLAB, #Rstats, and #Python. #stats tpavlic.github.io/asu-simulati...

Bündnis aus Studi-Orgas und Gewerkschaften hat eine Petition zum sächsischen Doppelhaushalt 2027/2028 erstellt, bitte mitzeichnen:

Unsere Kritik hat immerhin den Nonsens der Bestrafung schnellerer Promotionen abgeräumt. Aber es bleibt dabei: Die Pläne für die Novelle des #WissZeitVG sind lächerlich. Postdoc-Phase bleibt prekär wie gehabt. Anti-Werbung für Wissenschaft als Beruf in D. Da muss sich noch viel ändern! #IchBinHanna

Really good summary on metabolic scaling. One question remains: How did they know what's the safe dose of LSD for cats?? 😡😡😡 youtu.be/tL9Lw250spc?...

What is this new capitalistic hellscape the #academicpublishing industry is now enforcing?! To be able to read a paper that authors have paid to be published, and needs a subscription to be read, I have to either consent to trackers or pay for my privacy?! #academicchatter #research #MedSky #IDEpi

Reviewing a paper including a simulation study:

My boy still enjoying last seasons's trend: the slab #caturday

No #caturday picture today, but we have a special visitor in the garden

Published today in @nature.com, our study shows that the #foodweb trophic structure is critical for #ecosystemfunctioning. Read it here: rdcu.be/frxEl This has been an incredibly rewarding collaboration with many amazing scientists! 🌐🧪🦑🍁🌱 @waikatouniversity.bsky.social @idiv-research.bsky.social

🌍 How does biodiversity keep ecosystems functioning? A new study, published today in Nature, shows that healthy ecosystems depend on more than simply having many species. What really matters is the complex web of interactions between plants, herbivores and predators.

Let the dough rest at warm temperature until doubled in size #caturday

You're renewed your last order

Official heatwave regulations: absolutely no MCMC indoors! #Rstats

Note to myself: try not to catch a cold right before the next heatwave 🤧

How on earth did people ever develop R packages before you could just let an LLM figure out all the error messages?

This is outrageous. When I hire KPMG to validate my priors I expect to receive the wildly overconfident lies of a 23 year old MBA, not those of some stinking robot.

new diamond open-access Journal of Statistical Ecology launched 🎉🎉🎉 jse.centre-mersenne.org @fredbarraquand.bsky.social @oaggimenez.bsky.social @marieaugermethe.bsky.social @vianeylb.bsky.social (apologies to any Bsky editors I missed)

Was das BMFTR mit dem #WissZeitVG vorhat, ist galaxienweit davon entfernt, die Bezeichnung "Reform" zu verdienen. Mehr dazu in der Stellungnahme von @drkeichhorn.bsky.social, @kubon.bsky.social & mir, heut exklusiv vorab (1 Tag vor Hannas 5. Geburtstag 🥹) im #ArbeitInDerWiss Newsletter! #IchBinHanna
