People in US academia are over-worked. People in UK academia are over-paper-worked.

Last night I promised a blog post for my fellow #rstats people who, like me, have arrived here by the #twittermigration. I said I would try to document everything I know about mastodon. It's not much, and I hope there aren't too many mistakes, but I hope it will help a few other new folks here help get oriented πŸ™‚

Everything I know about Mastodon – Notes from a data witch

A hastily written guide for data science folks trying to navigate the fediverse.

Notes from a data witch

Hello #TwitterMigration friends, ideas for curating your timeline, which is quite like #gardening: what you plant will be what grows here for you.

1. If you mainly follow others who arrived with you, you depend on them staying. Balance with people who post regularly and there will be new growth here when you check.

2. Follow people who boost others. The serendipity of their associations will seed new ideas for you.

3. It’s a new home: you don’t need the same garden you had in your old home.

Last one of these I promise.. had to post this because I like the shape so much.

The complete R code to generate this image is here:

Posted this partly to show how simple it is to create this kind of thing in R. R is designed for maths/stats and data visualisation, so mathart is relatively easy to generate compared to other languages.

I might still turn this into a R/art tutorial blogpost but for now the gist will do.

Dissatisfied with the resolution of images in the #pandoc-generated output? Some formats require the conversion of vector graphics to raster images, a process that can be controlled with the `--dpi` option. The default for it is 96; set the parameter to a higher value to get images with higher resolutions.

#introduction I love helping scientists make sense of their data. I’m an applied statistician at U Wisconsin-Madison working in genetics. Excited about #datavis, #openscience, #opensource, and #openaccess. Enjoy hacking in #rstats, #c, and #coffeescript.

If (like me) you've recently come over from Twitter, please please keep your same profile picture at least as first! It's a lot easier to remember an image than a name or handle (imho)

#feditips

hey there! While I'm still really new to all this, I'm feeling a lot of joy and excitement about getting to see old friends and meet new friends in this space who want to talk all things science!
