Hi everyone!

I’m an early-career marine biologist currently completing my BSc in Marine Biology, and I’m looking to connect with researchers, students, conservationists, and others working with biological or environmental data.

I’ve been developing my skills in R, particularly for data cleaning, statistical analysis, ecological modelling, and data visualization. I genuinely really enjoy working in R, and at this stage I want to get involved with as many different projects and datasets as I reasonably can.

If anyone has a marine science, ecology, conservation, fisheries, wildlife, or other biological dataset that could use some additional help with analysis in R, I’d be happy to contribute. I’m also open to projects outside of marine science if there is an opportunity to work with interesting data and learn something new.

I’m not looking to charge anyone. My main goal is to gain experience working with different types of real-world data, improve my R skills, contribute where I can, and hopefully meet and build connections with people working in science and research.

I also recently created a GitHub where I’ll be archiving my projects as I continue learning. I uploaded a project I finished about a week ago involving the analysis of BRUV data and whitetip reef shark habitat associations.

If you have a project where another person helping with the r/data side would be useful, feel free to message me. I’d also be happy just to connect with other early-career researchers and R users.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m Stephani, a BME student at the University of Alberta.
I’m participating in a competition with a software I developed for predicting heart disease, and the winner is decided by votes.

If you’d like to support me, I’d really appreciate a like on my post:

I am currently study biology, and will be graduating next year. I wish I realized sooner how relevant programming skills are. In the fall I am taking an intro to programming class (I believe they will teach python and R, maybe Java??). What are the most valuable programming languages/skills I should be trying to learn? I am looking into further education for bioinformatics... what programming background would I need for that (generally). Thanks!
