Good morning! It’s wild out here today. I can really see winter approaching in the wildness of waves and winds, but especially in the colors and cloud formations. The seals were really getting tossed around this morning! Can you see one? #OceanDevotion

Drone photographer Theresa Graham (tgraham.photography on IG) captured this Ornate Eagle Ray (Aetomylaeus vespertilio) off Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia. These rays are called the "unicorn of the sea": fewer than 100 sighting have been documented. We suspect they're critically endangered.

I just created an amazing fractal web app and uploaded it. Try it out right now, on your phone! You can explore the Mandelbrot Set, you can make Julia Sets. You can see the orbits of the points that create the fractals. It’s so fun and beautiful and amazing!!! fractalfoundation.org/frapplets/ma...

Connectivity-the unimpeded movement of species and the flow of natural processes-is a fundamental target for conservation. How do we predict connectivity from increasingly available tracking data on movement? We provide a solution here: nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/W2FP2X...

How mammals respond to human activity depends on who they are! Our new paper in Ecography shows that there's no single overall response to human impact: body mass, diet and life history traits drive whether density increases or decreases. @ecography.bsky.social sl1nk.com/kl3nzzb 🌐

Now that we know all the winners for the 2026 #NobelPrize, we can complete our #infographic! This year, we have 8 male laureates (Medicine, Physics, Chemistry, and Economics) and 2 female laureates: Anne Carson for Literature and Navi Pillay for Peace. 1/9 #dataviz

Annihilation always makes Halloween lists, so I thought I'd do a thread of creepy reads. Starting today with a flat-out modern masterpiece, Max Lury's No Ghosts. Thoroughly contemporary and disturbing grounded in deep characterization, and, in part, outdoing Back Rooms while also its own thing. 1

Just did some number crunching using latest (Oct 1) ECMWF seasonal data, and I must say that I've never seen such high predictive confidence in a very wet California winter. This is a truly extraordinary forecast amid a record-strength El Niño event. [Thread: please read to end.]

#RStats question: Do you use a leading “.” in argument names? I’m trying to figure out if the best practice is: my_function <- function(.df, .x) or: my_function <- function(df, x)

Nic ( @niccrane.bsky.social) taught us all about FREAKING PARQUET FILES on the #DSLab, which are wayyyyy cooler than I realized. Parquet files: Preserve data types Are fast & small Are column-oriented so you can read just 1 col if wanted! & Positron displays'em out-the-box! ▶️ youtu.be/2mQ4kc9J9uQ
