Quantitative ecologist working on #spatiotemporal models of fish and #fisheries as well as interactions between #dams and anadromous fishes (i.e. #salmon).

Married to @Scatterseed.

I don’t speak for my employer.

Been having a lot of fun with #HamRadio lately.

I know sending 20 guys to arrest the sub thrower seems ridiculous but did you know that touching even trace amounts of sandwich can cause an immediate overdose in federal thugs
Please help me with my music league song this week 😓

Me implementing the model: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

Me interpreting the results: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Status: For the nth time, closing a whole pile of tabs about computing moments of ratio distributions and just writing `var(rnorm(1e6, mean_x, sd_x) / rnorm(1e6, mean_y, sd_y))` like fortune(192) intended. #RStats

Fediverse! Talk to me about #LinuxPhones! I want to diversify from #iOS with current events being what they are, but am only a bit #Linux literate. Would appreciate personal testimonials!

Currently looking at #PinePhone & #ShiftPhone… opinions? Other suggestions?
