#rstats 📦 #OpenSpecy 1.0 is now out on CRAN with tons of new features including better handling of spectral data, particle analysis, and an #AI classification algorithm 🥳

Check out our new man pages at http://wincowger.com/OpenSpecy-package/ for all the details. A polished #Shiny app is available here for review: https://wincowger.shinyapps.io/reviewer_app/

Shout out to @wincowger and everybody else involved in this massive team effort.

Ten simple rules for sound #laboratory work:

🧵

1: Label your samples.
2 - 10: Use the exactly same labels from the start of the experiment until the end of data analysis.

Why is it so hard to follow?

#Macrozoobenthos (here #Trichoptera larvae) in rivers of #SouthTyrol use #microplastic for their protective cases... 😞

Would be nice to make a study on the percentage of used plastic pieces or plastic area 🤔
