Hi Everyone! Like many others, I decided to make an #introduction post about myself, since I am new to this platform. I just finished my master's degree in Palaeobiology at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany, and I will be spending the next 1.5 years at the same university as part of the research staff. My current research uses computers to better understand long-term patterns in the history and evolution of life, with an emphasis on extinction, diversification, and phylogenetics.

All three books I've co-authored are freely available online for non-commercial use:

#Bayesian Data Analysis, 3rd ed (aka BDA3) at https://stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/book/ and lectures plus #rstats, #Python and #Stan code at https://avehtari.github.io/BDA_course_Aalto/

#Regression and Other Stories at https://avehtari.github.io/ROS-Examples/ including #rstats and #Stan code

Active Statistics at https://avehtari.github.io/ActiveStatistics/

The websites also have links to the publishers' web stores if you prefer hard copies of these

How climate change is driving monkeys and lemurs from trees to the ground

The stresses of climate change are driving dozens of species of monkeys and lemurs that normally shelter and feed high in the tree canopy to the forest floor, a new study shows.
