@ekansa That was my day yesterday.
@ficaryl Thank you. It was really really ‘heartbreaking’.

@ficaryl oh that’s a sad story. She um … ok. nevermind ;)
@ficaryl So glad I’m not on FB. *shudder*
@kj_gilbert Someday when we meet I should tell you my botfly story.
@jess_carilli YEP! been there!

@Drew_Lab Thanks man, I appreciate the support.
@ctitusbrown Fantastic post re moz web making. My thoughts on this are quite similar and I’m glad to see a push to making these reality.

Success w/o glamour pubs. Nice post using @jasonpriem’s methods and Entrez to figure out that only 5.7% of bioinfo pdocs have glamour pubs.
Up until today I enjoyed the game of tracking down supplemental info through a maze of links. Now @figshare ruined all the fun. Thx a lot.

More job applications this am. Doing my best to avoid being sent to the glue factory.
@cboettig Really nice, congrats!
@pathogenomenick *I need to get shit done*
@kj_gilbert post a reproducible example somewhere like gist.
@punkish no wonder you weren't at the open data meetup!
@_inundata @tmccormick @CameronNeylon on Bart now and might not make it exactly at 5. If you two just pick a spot I'll meet u there.
@kara_woo Tried it during my grad school days and it was a #fail because my desk ht was not adjustable.

@JacquelynGill That’s exactly what bump does for ios. Don’t know if its available for other platforms.
@GrunerDaniel With the current momentum going in the #oa movement, those societies are unlikely to survive.
@GrunerDaniel So is the ESA. Also non-commercial but paywalled. have you seen this? bit.ly/VulIgj
@CameronNeylon ok done.
@tmccormick that’s usually true. But Lisa (the org) said bldg security needs names to allow folks in. Should I add you @CameronNeylon?
@CameronNeylon @tmccormick Did either of you rsvp to the event? I have but can email the org with your names if you haven’t.
@nmatasci On my twitter stream you are! All your projects sound exciting!
@CameronNeylon @tmccormick @mrgunn ok, see you there!
@sjGoring got it, just making sure other smart people are as clumsy as I am.
@sjGoring you just followed me again?
@eperstle Nice job with the interview!
@sjGoring Woke up this am and said no twitter. Straight to writing. two conf calls and coffee and I’m still here in my pjs.
@sjGoring Since I’m a font nerd, I’ll push for Source code pro (free) via Adobe. See bit.ly/YfxJDi

@mrgunn Post that advice on a blog somewhere. More of us could benefit from it.
@IanMulvany It is. except it breaks all backward compatibility which will suck for a while.
@peromhc It’s a hr thing.
@labroides totally ok. But give then an out if they can't do it for some reason.

@CameronNeylon @tmccormick My evenings are open so no constraint on day. Maybe tom eve since there is a open data meetup by @mrgunn in sf?
Last call “@rOpenSci: Get your entry in to our #openscience challenge bit.ly/14pAFBU #OA due on 31 Jan”
@msanclem @MiriamGoldste @Dr_Bik me too. Hopefully I will watch live and act all snooty. "I knew Miriam before she was this famous".
@CameronNeylon yep! That would be great.
@jess_carilli If you submit the *perfect* proposal, you *may* get funded. There is no room for even the tiniest mistake. walk the tightrope.

@recology_ and phylopic came to mind when I wrote that answer. In that example I downloaded images first. Could come from a fn call instead.
@recology_ API docs are ready but api is not so can’t do much. And I only have this as my use case: bit.ly/T1s5ps
@recology_ Not yet. Still yours if you want it. I just began exploring it before the holidays.
@recology_ API is coming online soon. I have an early draft somewhere.
wilbanks @victoriastodden pffft. you can prove anything with data that supports a hypothesis. gimme some CONJECTURE.
@MiriamGoldste wow, just read all the posts on dsn. Good luck Miriam! Don’t be a stranger.

@jasonpriem Saw thumbnail before tweet. First thought: My god that’s a huge proposal. Stamped with sealing wax too! official!
victoriastodden Some (future) help if you'd like to share your confidential research data: privacytools.seas.harvard.edu and they are hiring too!
arlinpeebles Sorry guys, I better call it a night. I have to be on the Internet first thing in the morning.
@distribecology I enjoyed it! Ira Glass guilted me into getting it to Berkeley early on.
@elikint favorite tweet with link then save URL as PDF and save it to Dropbox folder named twitter favorites. Etc.
@elikint browse the recipes. Automates most things in my life. If >70% chance of rain tomorrow leave rain jacket by keys tonight (text).
@CjBayesian Just to play devils advocate. They aren't all *that* bad.
@distribecology if you look closely (bottom right), it says Ted Hart was here.
@recology_ @ramnath_vaidya @rstudioapp smart server-side caching, smoother transitions, native support for json -> d3.
@recology_ @ramnath_vaidya @rstudioapp Love Shiny but can't wait for it to grow up and be in college already.
Hey scientists using Scribd to host pre-prints. Worst idea ever. nightmarish pay wall. Can't print, can't save. Tip: link directly to PDF.
@caseybergman @rmounce indeed. science would be rather quiet and slow for otherwise. Especially for someone like me that works alone.
@jebyrnes @MiriamGoldste more like Malwarrrre.
@distribecology must be my spirit tree.
@recology_ cool! Hope it goes well.
@recology_ awesome! congrats and have fun. Planning to build anything for ropensci while there?
srsupp If you do "unifying ecology across scales" and you are a grad student or postdoc, talk to me. I'm co-chairing a research conf! #gordon2014
@vijay_ivaturi That sounds way better. We don’t even get official time off.
mbeisen thing that kills me most about F'd up funding situation is that there are so many amazing young scientists out there we are letting down
mbeisen .@eperlste @KMBTweets @KateClancy @Mammals_Suck academia broken, but i will fiercely defend value of publicly-funded science
yoyoha We never play good cop, bad cop with our kids. It's more like annoyed cop, tired cop.
@rOpenSci @Impactstory @altmetric @researchremix Not new! They’ve been around since package inception :)
@Dr_Kalmia @labroides I definitely need a sugar mama. Let me know if good candidates come across your radar.
Just got my w2 for 2012. Gross income might as well say "1 bag of jumbo peanuts". How other postdocs have kids is one big mystery to me.
@yoavram @tpoi also mundane stuff. I don’t check the weather. But if there is >70% chance of rain on wday, I get text at 7am jacket reminder
@yoavram @tpoi IF @recology_ tweets with the #rstats tag with a link THEN convert link to pdf and save in my Dropbox. stuff like that.
@ethanwhite All sounds promising but will have to wait till we see when the first ones come out.
@peromhc Take our IB search for e.g. Briefly considered applying. But look at the short list. Pieter?? bit.ly/VCwe1A
@carlystrasser wait, I don’t remember tweeting that. I know I’m losing my mind but
@peromhc @pedrobeltrao I’m eeb too and do a lot of ‘slow’ science. Makes it hard to get past initial cull with 100+ apps.
@pedrobeltrao @peromhc which feeds my impostor synd. even more. 12 pubs? meh, wait till I have at least 10 more.
@peromhc @rxnm_ @eperlste 1 short list/8 (still don’t feel competitive enough to apply in this climate). waiting on more accepted pubs
@msanclem awesome. He just needs a monocle and a hat.
@msanclem Is he your civilized dog?
@ctitusbrown absolutely nothing wrong with the guide. Just making fun of the dated term netiquette. flash back to mid 90s.
Looks like honey badger Randall may have some competition. youtube.com/watch?v=6Jz0Jc…
@bioSimonUoB @Protohedgehog and things in the UK move faster too. For us the norm is 5-6 years.
@bioSimonUoB @Protohedgehog Understand. UK is different. We were encourage to pub first and not write a long diss then cut that down for pub
@ctitusbrown netiquette?? /waves hello to 1995.
@Protohedgehog @bioSimonUoB Just publish cos you need to do it anyway. My diss was just papers stapled together. Less work for the committee
kaythaney Also, tools/projects listed that you should follow: @figshare @swcarpentry @rOpenSci @1DegreeBio @Labguru @youngrewired radar.oreilly.com/2013/01/kaitli…
@bearloga No. I do that locally once and save the credentials in a .rda file. Works until I revoke the keys (which I rarely do).
@bearloga ROAuth.
@thrawny yes. nobody uses sourceforge anymore. ghost town. Less likely to attract contributions.
@bearloga I’ve been using it since my dumb phone days. Back then DMs came as texts. I’d go for long runs and see sim updates ;)
@tpoi if you tell me that it was from my eebtools blurb, then I think the site has already worked! ;)
@bearloga or use twitteR and send yourself a DM at any point mid-way.
cjlortie Love your feedback on what to improve upon in the current peer-review system for an nceas working group: bit.ly/eebpublishing
@cjlortie I was one of the first!
@msanclem Yeah, you can control any application on my mac. So it goes beyond gdoc (which is good for that single purpose).
@msanclem @SarahBisbing I prefer etherpad over gdocs for real time writing, and use @github for the rest.
@msanclem @SarahBisbing This is better because we can run the code, work with any app.
Just tried it with a collaborator. We were troubleshooting the same piece of code in real time. No more “go to line 14”.
WOW! Powwow is absolutely fantastic for collaborative screen sharing between macs. 2 cursors and both can type. bit.ly/10LxIXy
@tpoi I can’t live without it. Far too many recipes run my life.
wilbanks The point of open access is to convert scholarly knowledge into a true public good. Not just to remove its cost through technology.
@labroides Actually that’s a brilliant idea never to ever get mentioned. Just use it to read and favorite.
@labroides @kara_woo @StacyRHespanha Hi Stacy! Nice to see you here. Sorry I’m picking on you. :)
@kara_woo @StacyRHespanha Stacy needs a longer twitter handle.
@ATredennick @srsupp @recology_ like this? bit.ly/WruMxk
@distribecology @georgiastraight We got plenty of fog here too. i.imgur.com/D8EUW.jpg
@srsupp @recology_ ok, just looked through some old code. Looks like I stored everything in mason jars. Some had labels.
@KirkwoodLab @sandramchung I’m on bit.ly/Wru5nR too. But the site looks rather uninspiring, like a sad wordpress page. Never use it.
@KirkwoodLab @sandramchung I don’t know what ResearchGate is but is sounds like the mother of all science conspiracies.
@srsupp @ethanwhite Fax me your latest commits. I will diff them with my xerox machine.
@noamross Sent you my copy.
Seeing ‘big data’ in a tweet is like walking into a store playing Gotye loudly over the speakers.
@ctitusbrown I can’t complain because I also have Twitter open.
@revodavid the top voted comment is how can we move these folks elsewhere, we just need their main attractions ;)
@jasonpriem quickly registers domain. ImpactStory: We write impactful college essays for your ivy league application. starting at $99.

@GrunerDaniel indeed. Nice to see you more on Twitter though. Sorry didn’t get to catch up at esa.
I really want to watch the new BBC Africa series. Anywhere online I can stream it?
Very thoughtful post by @MiriamGoldste on privilege in marine sci (but applies more broadly). I relate to this.
bit.ly/10EdfEb
@GrunerDaniel You need to start a blog, Dan. The Gruner log. or something. I’d totally read it.
@ethanwhite @drnickisaac big data with big pints (hopefully).
@jebyrnes Nice. Can you differentiate tweets from ecolog? Is that bit ly link tied to someone’s account?
@drnickisaac Please post a new tweet when that permanent position is announced.
All the conference spam I get has pegged me as an in-demand algae expert in China. Other ecologists get the same or diff kinds?
@sjGoring too much?
blogging tips: Write post. Tell everyone who disagrees that they misunderstood. Update post as req. Add emoticons to diff awkwardness.
@BrunaLab looks really nice. I like it.
Tim @tpoi weighs in on the where to submit your paper discussion. bit.ly/14ed1Hu mostly agree.
@sjGoring @JacquelynGill Right. Just desc. the article. I subscribe to this point though.
Go read this fantastic response by @BoraZ about where to submit your paper.
bit.ly/WwNULv
@ethanwhite Totally understand.
statsy people, if there is no code there is no paper. I simply don’t know what you did.
bit.ly/WwMnVH
@ethanwhite Fantastic article, Ethan. love it! @DynamicEcology
@tpoi @rmounce @JacquelynGill @hylopsar @tomezard @DavidJohnGibson Also room for more articles! ping me if you want to write another one.
@rmounce indeed :)
@peromhc ugh. Onwards!
@rmounce love it too but impact factor?? Doesn't help folks on the job market.
@TheAtavism anyway, the point is don’t lose hope. Things work out. Keep looking.
@TheAtavism Was complaining the night before. And the next afternoon again because I had too many to choose from. Luck is weird sometimes.
@TheAtavism Keep your chin up. First time around nothing worked out and then one fine morning I was offered 3 postdocs in the same morning.
