PhD opportunity: 'Unravelling the sound underground: Detecting and estimating earthworm abundance using low-frequency vibrations'. This project uses signal processing, modelling, and data science to analyse earthworm movements measured from soil geophones, an emerging technology with much potential.

I think there's an OnlyPosts feed you can use that excludes reposts. I also like the QuietPosters feed to highlight stuff that would get drowned out otherwise.

Hello bluesky 🦋 - overdue intro post. I'm a statistician at Bristol University doing approx Bayes methods like SBI and variational influence for things like population genetics 🧬 and stochastic kinetic models. Happy to chat about scaling these methods to harder models/bigger data/real applications.

Invitation to review a revised paper I assumed wasn't coming back just days after I recycled my printout and written notes on the previous version. Maybe I should never tidy my office.
