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).
