gander is an R package that brings AI directly into RStudio or Posit. Instead of switching between your IDE and a chat window, gander lets you ask questions or request code changes right inside your script. It automatically shares relevant context such as variable names, data types, and the surrounding code, so the model can provide precise answers without extra copy-pasting. You can trigger it with a simple keyboard shortcut, choose from different AI models (OpenAI, Claude, or local ones), and control how much of your data is sent for context. In short, gander makes working with AI in RStudio smoother, faster, and smarter. Take a look at the visualization below. It shows an example of how to use gander to create a ggplot2 graph. It’s taken from the package website: simonpcouch.github.io/gander/ Join my newsletter for more tutorials and insights on R, Python, data science, and AI.

Looking for a new postdoc in my lab @usfcoph. Join a collaboration between John Orrock and me on Lyme disease ecology here in beautiful Tampa. Job #40278 at USF Careers website. Please R/T or email me with questions.
Science’s secret weapon is that it cannot be subject to authority. There is no hierarchy when making discoveries which only happens when scientists treat each other as intellectual peers. #standupforscience
“To write for impact means to keep it as simple as possible.” Good read and very insightful. nature.com/articles/s4158…
Please share far and wide. And thanks to Holden (no longer on X) for making time
When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. Read more on #WomenInScienceDay: scim.ag/3WWWoSD

My first lead-author paper is officially out in #BiologyLetters! 🐦 📄 Microbial Surveillance Versus Cytokine Responsiveness in Native and Non-Native House Sparrows Check it out here: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Huge thanks to my co-authors for their collaboration! 🎉
What separates the best scientists from the rest? There is no secret, other than that the best scientists are simply reaching for the big discoveries. This means taking risks, which is really what's behind the joy of discovery. @kryamamoto youtu.be/3-aHs_F_Jqk?si…
@ruthfawthrop @Trends_Ecol_Evo @melissah_rowe @Mark_Ravinet @LizScordato @Pacheco_Evo Congratulations 🍾
New preprint out! We tested the association between "epigenetic potential" and dispersal in wild pied flycatchers, with the hypothesis that⏫epigenetic potential may facilitate successfull settlement in novel environments through ⏫ phenotypic plasticity biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
What would Plato say about systems biology? In his Allegory of the Cave, prisoners can only see shadows on a wall and so they have a distorted reality. Also our measurements of genes, RNAs, proteins & metabolites are the shadows, not the reality of the complex biological systems.
Stop writing academic papers like a robot. Tell stories instead. Most academic writing puts people to sleep. But it doesn't have to. Academic storytelling changes everything. Here's why it works:

Out today in @NatureBiotech! PhD students & postdocs: there's a trick – overlooked and underused – for having new ideas in the creative process. Talk science 1 on 1 with a science buddy that you trust and think of it as an improvisation. nature.com/articles/s4158…… @MartinJLercher
En route to my first SICB meeting. Keen on learning about enemy release and the modulation of inflammation in non-native species? Tune in to my talk on Thurs @ 11:45-12pm!! #SICB2024
It feels amazing to be back at the Monastery for #CNWW23! The longest darkest nights of Winter are coming soon, but we have warm and bright people to make it through!
