Here are some thoughts on teaching #statistics to non-statistical students, specifically those in #applied #ecology degrees. Thanks to @willpkay and @TiagoALOMarques for an enjoyable (and not last) collaboration.

Super excited that my last dissertation chapter was just published in Molecular Ecology! We sequenced 800 transcriptomes to see what molecular responses nectar yeast have to priority effects. Check it out!
Our latest step towards the genetic understanding of priority effects--with @eco_genome, @page_goddard, Lexi-Ann Golden, Jonathan Hernandez, @danireneeoc, Marziiah Hossine, @sur_hp, @e_vanvalk, Lucas Nell, @manpreetkdhami

My next plant-soil feedback theory paper with @raf_dandrea is out in @Ecology_Letters onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/โฆ
-We show that our formulation with an explicit conditionable soil variable leads to a richer set of outcomes than both the std. PSF formulation and LV competition. (1/5)

Great to see our review on measuring microbial interactions out! @JFriedman_micro @TaLivny

We discuss the concept of interactions and its limitations, purposes of measuring interactions, and categorize different indices for quantifying interactions.

Having mostly reviewed stats papers written by ecologists I figured most ecologists were not trained in math notation. Reviewing stats papers written by statisticians has me updating this belief to "everyone should take a second to review math notation."

Using log(X+1) when estimating population trends is a classic mistakes of many papers in ecology, including famous one published in @Science and @NatureEcoEvo about #insect decline.
Why is it a mistake? Because it breaks the interpretability of the slope (trend) as a growth rate.
log(0) = {Drop it, Scale it, Reform it, Invert it, Group it, press it, snap it, work it, quick erase it} or maybe what these authors do instead? @dggoldst
