Looking for a professional society or association that focuses on sharks🦈

How about one dealing with seagrass in the Indo-Pacific 🌏

What about scientific diving 🤿

Or ocean technology and engineering 🛰️

This list could be just what you're looking for 🔍

It’s time for WTF (What’s That Fish)! 😍

This is a mahi-mahi

It’s time for another WTF (What’s That Fish)! 😍

This is a mahi-mahi. Apparently, they can swim at speeds up to around 64 kilometres per hour (that's 40 miles per hour for those who use imperial measurements)!

Science is designed to be self-correcting as long as we value replication as well as we should. For every type 1 error honestly made, even a single replication has a high chance of providing contrary conclusions. Replication must be scientific reflex. #edusky #statsky #phdchat #academicsky #STEM🧪

I don’t quite yet have the same reach on here as I did on Twitter, so I’m going to start a new fish game called #EtymologyEpithet, where I explain the etymology (the meaning behind a name) for all of the fishes I’ve described, starting with Cirrhilabrus isosceles, the Pintail Fairywrasse.

`tinyplot` is now available on CRAN. 🎉

tl;dr `tinyplot` is a super lightweight extension of the base #rstats graphics system that makes it easy to draw sophisticated plots with minimal overhead. See our website for more examples and a detailed intro tutorial. grantmcdermott.com/tinyplot/

Great resource for researchers who want to use #RStats for robust causal analysis. Helped me understand the logic behind DAGs (directed acyclic graphs): www.r-causal.org Thanks @malcolmbarrett.malco.io @lucystats.bsky.social & @travisgerke.bsky.social 🙏

#statstab #22 Plot model coefficients with {ggcoef_model()}

Thoughts: Very useful for quick plotting while drafting a write-up. Helper packages are good, but we can easily fall back into the cookbook method of stats.
