We make lots of pacific-centered maps and are always having to deal with the pesky lines that show up for vector files that span the antimeridian. Here's an #rstats trick that I use to make our plots look a little nicer. Also peep the simple use of our new `oceandatr` package 👀

Hey @posit.co, has an #rstats package ever made the news before? 👀 🤓 KEYT covered oceandatr, an open-source R package my @emlab.ucsb.edu colleagues wrote to streamline access to global spatial ocean data 🌐 Enjoy our nerdy 15 seconds of fame (no autographs, plz) 📦: emlab-ucsb.github.io/oceandatr/

Our `oceandatr` #rstats package made it to our local news @newschannel312.bsky.social! Check out the segment to learn more about the package: keyt.com/news/top-sto.... There’s even special guest appearances from @dferraro.bsky.social and our package developer Jason Flower!

#rstats users who work with spatial ocean data: meet {oceandatr} 🌊 My @emlab.ucsb.edu colleagues built this R package to streamline access to global ocean datasets - from bathymetry to environmental data to coral habitat & more! Check out the press release & co-author Echelle’s thread below 👇

A new tool makes mapping the ocean easier

UCSB marine scientists have developed a new, open-source software package that makes it faster and simpler to find, organize and map data about the world’s oceans.

🚨New paper in Nature Communications🚨! We find that shark finning regulations have little impact on the global trade of shark products in the short-term, but might lead to more noticeable changes several years (7+) after regulations are implemented. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Fish will have to adapt to a warming world, what will that adaptation do to fisheries yields? We answer that question today in Science. I’ll summarise our findings very briefly in this thread www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....

Evolutionary adaptation to global change reduces sustainable fisheries yields

Global warming is altering the fisheries that underpin food security, but projections of these impacts generally exclude evolutionary processes. We describe a model that forecasts how fish will adapt ...

This workshop motivated me to ⭐ finally ⭐ spin up a personal website! I'm excited to build it out over the next few weeks (and spend way too much time picking fonts & colors hehe) 🤓 Check out @samcsik.bsky.social's workshop materials below!

RLadies+ Santa Barbara@rladiessb.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Last night, our very own @samcsik.bsky.social led a fantastic workshop on how to make & customize personal websites with #quarto! 🎉 We learned to: ✨ make a Quarto site & deploy it using GitHub Pages (for free! in just a few short steps!) ✨ customize fonts & theme colors with Sass ✨ add a blog

Feels like every time I think "I wish Positron had XXX feature" - it suddenly becomes so.

Andrew Heiss@andrew.heiss.phd · 6mo ago

heyyy Positron has a packages panel now!! And it works with both #rstats and Python! github.com/posit-dev/po...

Did #TidyTuesday this week for the first time in many years 🥹 and posted about it over on @weare.rladies.org!

We Are RLadies+@weare.rladies.org · 6mo ago

Much of my research focuses on #fisheries, so I couldn't help focusing on seafood product tariff rates for my own Week 17 #TidyTuesday submission 🦀 🐟 I also used it as a means to play around with some of the #AI tools in Positron! A bit about my process below ⤵️

This past fall, our R-Ladies SB community came together to brainstorm ways for keeping up to date with the ever-evolving landscape of R & data science tools. We published a blog post on our conversations and recommendations, and @dferraro.bsky.social neatly summarizes them here!

We Are RLadies+@weare.rladies.org · 7mo ago

Ever come back to an #rstats project and…it just doesn’t work anymore? Or struggle to keep up with all the latest R packages & tools, much less integrate them into your code? Keeping R workflows up-to-date can feel daunting - but luckily, @rladiessb.bsky.social has some thoughts ⤵️

So pumped to curate over at @weare.rladies.org this week! 👩‍💻✨🤓 I'll be sharing some ways I use #rstats, things I’m currently learning, and reflections from recent conversations with my R communities 💜 See you over there!

Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature.com did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers. Take a look—the numbers are staggering.

Some good news!

Why do some say marine protected areas are just “paper parks”? And are industrial fishers actually staying out of these no-fishing zones? New in @science.org: We used AI + satellite radar to find out. doi.org/10.1126/scie... #ScienceResearch #OceanConservation #OceanTransparency #30x30 #Fisheries

I LOVED participating in the Letters to a Pre-scientist program this year - was matched with an 8th grader and we exchanged snail mail discussing our interests and what diff career paths can look like. Highly recommend prescientist.org for a low-effort (only 4 letters!) way to meaningfully engage 📬

Fast-forward 4 years and a ton of research later, and my initial estimate remains the same--we've seen ~0.001% of the deep seafloor, an area approx the same as the size of Rhode Island. @oceandiscleague.bsky.social published this work in @science.org Advances today: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

How little we’ve seen: A visual coverage estimate of the deep seafloor

In decades of deep-sea exploration, humans have observed only 0.001% of the deep seafloor, leaving 66% of planet Earth unseen.

This thread asks the question on everyone’s mind: What’s the deal with chitons? First, some of them are really lovely. (1/11) Pics: © Wendy Feltham © anjadocke © Anne Hoggett © Matt Tank CC BY-NC #addOcean

Oval-shaped mollusc with stunning patterns in orange and white. The animal has eight more or less oblong shells that articulate with each other at the long edges. It kind of looks like a steampunk armadillo, if an armadillo didn't have a head, tail or legs. And was mechanical.

The shells have an unpatterned triangle along the midline, with slanted patterns of bright orange, dark orange and white.

The chiton is on a rock and is surrounded by barnacles.

Stunning bright red and white chiton that looks so obvious but is nestled on a background of pink coralline algae. It might not be such a striking contrast to a more casual glance. (Or with non-colour vision.)

This creature looks like a tapestry. The girdle (which runs around the edge of the shells) is wide and a superb crimson with little beige spots at the edge that make it look frayed and break up the smooth outline.

The eight shell valves are red, black (or very dark red) and white and the line pattern is ragged, so it looks as though it's been embroidered. The impression is not of a hard mineral surface, but of velvety fabric.

This species is very variable in colour and this pattern is not the most frequently encountered, but it's too lovely to ignore.

After the orange and red chitons, this one is much more cryptic, but it's included to show the range of shell shapes.

Like the others, this has eight shells or valves, but they are small tear-drop shaped shells that articulate with each other at a narrow point. They look like a spine protruding from the mottled grey-green tissue of the girdle.

Apologies for that mental image. The actual image is less off-putting.

Back to the pretty chitons! This one is blue, white and brown. That combination doesn't sound promising -- you probably wouldn't paint your living room in those colours -- but it works on this mollusc.

The girdle looks like snakeskin (with tiny scales) and is banded in pastel blue and light brown. The shell valves have broad brown triangles along the midline, which are overlain with pale blue streaks and bright blue dots. On either side of those brown triangles, a pattern of light brown lines and zigzags radiate to the edge of the shells. It's not vividly hued but it is a lively pattern.
