New methods, visualisations and R package
(github.com/andrew-edwards/si…) for fitting size spectra to
binned data. See our new @MEPS_IR paper
int-res.com/articles/meps_oa…. Thanks to awesome co-authors @jamespwr
@BlanchardJulia @baumlab @MichaelPlankNZ
Want to reduce perceived uncertainty by billions of fish? Try highest density intervals instead of equal-tailed intervals. Can also change perception of stock health.
New short paper with @AugerMethe

This one goes out to all the @NOAA employees that were fired today. Waves of sadness and respect to you all

Interested in animal movement and seagulls? Come do an MSc with Dr. Mark Hipfner (ECCC) and I. Application deadline: November 15, 2024. See tinyurl.com/5e5tz34w
New paper where we dig into and explain the methods behind Empirical Dynamic Modelling, with a narrated movie and new R package.

Thanks @mariagrigoratou for organizing this, and especially for figuring out all the time zones 🤯
📢Join us for the grand finale of SPECTRE seminars after 3 amazing years!
@AndrewM_Edwards dives into fitting size spectra to ecological data with fish examples.
Catch it either on Nov 1 or Nov 2, 2023-two chances for different time zones! More info & registration links 👇(1/3)

Want to learn about size spectra applications in fisheries? If yes, don’t miss our seminar new week with @PhoebeJefcoats. She will present examples of size spectra approaches across multiple time scales on the Pacific Ocean longline fisheries. 1/3🐟🎣
How to account for the fish that would have been caught if they had taken the bait quicker? See our new method to deal with hook competition in longline surveys. Relative abundances can 1/2 or 2x from usual methods. With awesome Joe Watson and @augermethe cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.113…

Forty years ago, my first sole-author paper went to press (as in printing). I dredged up some old drafts and the original reviews to illustrate similarities and differences between modern and ancient publications. Some things have changed and some are the same…

Great Nature piece about reproducible research. It's timely as we've just updated our "Building Skills in Quantitative Biology" e-book (to meet web accessibility standards), where you can learn some of the tools mentioned (and more). quantitative-biology.ca/ @ecotheory

Amazing acoustic rendition of Bowie's Space Oddity by 500+ people. Worth a watch on his (and Stephen Hawking's) birthday. youtu.be/cKg1_fKO1sY via @YouTube

ICNARC have updated their analysis of COVID patients in critical care in England, Wales and NI. They now show boosted patients as well.
They are shown in green.
Yes, I've put them on the chart.
You have to squint.

it’s recently been brought to my attention that most ppl don’t know what “elective surgery” means.
I have a brain tumor for which my neuro/oncology team is planning surgery within the next ~2 months.
This surgery is categorized as elective.

Brilliant piece from Scott Alexander on why "there is no evidence for X" is incredibly confusing because it can mean multiple things.
Postdoc in salmon productivity here on beautiful Vancouver Island. Lots of modelling and R (and fieldwork opportunities):

Thank you @GargulMark for creating a cartogram (each riding has the same area) of the Canadian election results #elexn44. Stops me complaining all night that the usual maps are misleading to the eye... commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/F…
