I have a #science question. A major challenge in #climatology and climate models is reconstructing historical weather and climate data from incomplete and fragmentary data sets and many different sources. I know that there is a lot of thought put into these models, and that they largely do it well. But to outsiders, this process of reconstruction can often seem dubious and thus is frequently used to cased doubt against both these reconstructions and the field of climatology as a whole.

So what I could use for such discussions are other examples of mathematical reconstructions of historical datasets from fields _outside_ of climatology, to show that this is not a unique process but a widely used approach. Can anyone give me any suggestions?

The #Agriculture Department said in a statement that the report had become “overly politicized, & upon subsequent review, is unnecessary to carry out the work of the department.”🤯

The department will issue a final report next month covering 2024, based on a survey from last year, but will cease fielding future surveys, according to the statement.

In a sharp break with precedent, #Trump has aggressively contested sources of government #data that he thinks casts his policies in a negative light. Last month, after a weak #jobs report, he fired the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor #Statistics, claiming with no evidence that the data was “rigged.”

If anyone comes across a #statistics or #DataScience job in an English or French speaking country safe for a family with Black and gay people…hmu.

Not urgently looking…but not not looking.

Prefer focus on #climate

Here is an #Introduction. My current project is about #emergentBehavior in #animalNetworks. I also study consequences of #climateChange. I often wonder how to explain basic concepts of #ecology and #statistics to students. What else: #consciousness (with #panPsychic bias), #seti and #youWouldntLikeToKnow

New server, new #introduction:

👋 Hi! I'm Eric! I'm a scientific programmer & educator who writes mostly code. I currently work part time at #UniversityOfArizona where I help researchers by making R packages, #Shiny apps, automated data workflows, and training them on #ReproducibleResearch practices. I also mentor data scientists for @Posit Academy. I am #OpenToWork as a contractor if any of those skills sound useful to you.

My background is in plant chemical ecology and population ecology and for my PhD I studied #tea and did field work in China. I love tea (although I've been drinking coffee more and more lately) and practice #GongFuCha when I can. I love #foraging and tasting new things.

I currently live in #Tucson but the #BayArea will always be my home.

A mistake in the operating room can threaten the life of one patient; a mistake in statistical analysis or interpretation can lead to hundreds of early deaths. So it is odd that, while we allow a doctor to conduct surgery only after years of training, we give SPSS to almost anyone.

@bart and I just recorded Programming By Stealth Tidbit 13, where Bart uses PowerShell to understand “The Monty Hall” problem. It’s great fun, and also a second teaser for PowerShell.
