It really is the return of the ecology blogosphere!

After posting yesterday that we were ramping up the blog again, my RSS feed let me know that arguably the most impactful ecology blog of all time, Dynamic Ecology, was doing the same thing! We also heard from Terry McGlynn who has recently moved and renamed his really important blog, now a newsletter named Science For Everyone. And we heard from multiple other folks that they are in the process of spinning up new…

PSA: Google has now begun to roll-out the Ad Topics "feature" onto Android itself. It's not just in Chrome you have to disable the settings. Please #Boost to spread awareness.

If you didn't get the pop-up screen on your Android device (it looks like the first two screenshots), to opt-out of these settings:

  • Go to your device Settings
  • Press "Google"
  • Press "Ads"
    • While you're here, press the "Delete Advertising ID" button and delete it
  • Press "Ad Privacy"
  • Review: "Ad Topics", "App-suggested ads", and "App Measurement". Make sure all are labelled as "OFF". (This page will look like the third screenshot)
  • If you don't see "Ad Privacy" in Step 4 then it means that it hasn't been rolled out to you yet. You might need to wait and check back in a couple of days to see if/when it has been implemented to disable these settings.

    EDIT: There's another setting to review. In step 2, scroll to "Personalize using shared data". Turn everything off.

    A toolkit workflow for climate-sensitive infectious disease modelling

    Statistical modelling of Climate-Sensitive Infectious Disease (CSID) usually requires commons steps to harmonize and make compatible data from epidemiology and climate. Different teams do similar procedures in order to reach similar results for this purpose. But the actual coding of these steps involve lots of apparently small choices and details that, in the end, produce results very different and not directly comparable. rOpenSci package or resource used* targets, tarchetypes What did you do...

    People go to Stack Overflow because the docs and error messages are garbage. TLDR exists because the docs and error messages are garbage. People ask ChatGPT for help because the docs and error messages are garbage. We are going to lose a generation of competence and turn programming into call-and-response glyph-engine supplicancy because we let a personality cult that formed around the PDP-11 in the 1970s convince us that it was pure and good that docs and error messages are garbage.

    I am so, so excited to share that I've got a new #rstats package, {rsi}, on GitHub

    {rsi} helps you:

    - Download data from STAC APIs
    - Compute indices from the Awesome Spectral Indices project
    - Wrangle multiple rasters into predictor bricks without duplicating data

    Get the package (and leave us a star!) at:

    Little known fact: Before computers, 3D bar charts had to be inflated manually. How far we've come!

    Two features of this paper I really like are

    1) showing epidemic spread across primary and tertiary roads at different stages in the epidemic
    2) exploring indirect mortality caused by COVID-19 disruptions to the health system, economy, etc.

    This is just one disease from a massive effort to characterize fine-scale patterns in multiple disease burdens via seroprevalence data in Ifanadiana, Madagascar. Get ready for more to come!

    Happy to share our new paper characterizing the second wave of the COVID-19 epidemic in rural Madagascar using sero-prevalence data, led by Andres Garchitorena (#MIVEGEC) with colleagues from Pivot Madagascar (https://www.pivotworks.org/) and Institut Pasteur Madagascar
