In our weekly group meeting this morning, I introduced R Markdown a great #rstats tool to write reproducible documents (reports, articles, slides, websites) smoothly mixing text, code, figures and equations in html, word or pdf format.

In a recent seminar, S. Gandon (w/ S. Lion and T. Day) used SIR models to illustrate the effect of diff strategies of #SocialDistancing on the #COVID19 epidemic. What better way to learn than to reproduce their results in R? My two cents #rstats code ➡️ https://t.co/oJVQHJ6HqO 🤓 pic.twitter.com/dqSIcjbhqq

Ongoing work on a flexible spatio-temporal model for occupancy data w/ a GAM-like approach in Nimble.

On my way to Rennes for our annual meeting on Statistical Ecology, looking forward to catching up w/ the French crowd.

It was so great to have you @ZipkinLab w/ us, it was too short though, come back soon 😋🚀 Monarch 🦋 are fascinating, data integration is the way to go! @twitthair1 pic.twitter.com/9ud1ycPZvE

It is my pleasure to announce that Michael Schaub and Marc Kéry will run their Integrated Population Modelling workshop in Montpellier this November.

Le 5 mars, l’université et la recherche s’arrêtent.

I will soon be talking to an audience of Master students giving thoughts about how ecology and statistics may interact (aka Statistical Ecology), with large carnivors as a case study.

Our new preprint on HMMs for ecology, or how we’'’ve been using HMMs for ever without even knowing it.

Landing in Norway to meet w/ Bischof's group @andyroyle_pwrc @R_nimble and brainstorm about large carnivores and spatially-explicit capture-recapture models #SCR @TouraniMa @PierreDupont47 @Milleret_Cyril the 20 degrees difference w Montpellier is... vivifying 😎🤧 pic.twitter.com/sy0ZUCoae7
