@adamhsparks @benmarwick yes, we tried to add an extra step in the process for some of the submissions. We were not sure when in the process the data editors should act, before or concomitant to peer review. I think we tried different ways. The lack of understanding of what data we were expecting and the general lack of interest was a pattern. It was frustrating. I think the way is mandating data sharing but there is a general fear by publishers that submission rate will fall dramatically.

Our little R package is growing up so fast! {weatherOz} now has its hex logo and we're getting closer to our first stable release! https://github.com/DPIRD-FSI/weatherOz/tree/main #RStats #Australia #WeatherData

I was recently interviewed by the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) for their "Shaping Research Software" series where I shared highlights from leading a team of researchers and programmers developing decision support tools for agriculture and research software. Be sure and read the other great profiles in this series, it's a great way to see what's being done out there in Australian research.

Asked students of my grad course on data analysis in #rstats to produce a #quarto document during each class. Now (semester ending) I taught them how to build a website. Cool websites were produced and made available on GitHub within a week, like this:

I did not plan this initially but turned out to be an excellent exercise that I would like to share.

Plant Disease TraineR has a companion app, TraineR2, that can use actual photographs of the diseased plant tissue, check out @edelponte's blog post on it to learn more here! https://openplantpathology.org/posts/2023-06-17-trainer2-an-evolutin-of-trainer-that-uses-actual-photos/ and access the Shiny app here: https://delponte.shinyapps.io/traineR2/ #RStats #RShiny #R4PlantPath

@BritishSocietyPlantPathology @edelponte @SusannAuer We're looking forward to this event! Thank you for having us.

Free, online meeting in February for plant pathologists, especially in early career stages. Register here: https://www.bspp.org.uk/conferences/bspp-plant-health-club-open-plant-pathology/ #BSPPphc @edelponte @SusannAuer

Happy to share our latest preprint on population biology and epidemiology of wheat blast in Brazil

Our paper, “Openness and computational reproducibility in plant pathology: where we stand and a way forward” is now available as a First Look In Phytopathology, now! https://apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PHYTO-10-21-0430-PER all analysis code and data are available from GitHub and archived with Zenodo, https://github.com/openplantpathology/Reproducibility_in_Plant_Pathology. a big thanks to the reviewers and EIC for helping improve it. @edelponte @zacharyfoster @adamhsparks #Reporoducibility #RStats

Excited to announce date and venue for the IEW13 - International (Plant Disease) Epidemiology Workshop to be held in Foz do Iguaçu 🇧🇷 Brazil 2024.

"Why don't we share data and code?" Nice and concise infographic about perceived barriers and benefits. Full article: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2022.1113

@adamhsparks @zacharyfoster that's great news Adam! Thanks for leading this

Met this week with lots of #OpenScience folks online and in person.

Shared obstacles+frustrations: people in power to change practices in a field to more openess do often not prioritize/value/understand OS enough to implement crucial changes, QC is absent

Positives: we are a strong community with a ton of skills&enthusiasm and have a new generation behind us that do things differently: transparent, more reproducible, open, #FAIR

Are you getting started using #RStats in your #agriculture #research and need some ideas for project organisation, i.e., computer file locations and file names or data naming in the files themselves? Leo Bastos has some good tips here to help you get started and make your research both well organised and #reproducible https://agronomy.netlify.app/post/datagradschool/

Let's try an #introduction!

👋 I'm Carlos. I'm a software engineer at https://posit.co where I work full-time on https://quarto.org.

In a recent, previous life, I was a CS prof. After the tenure grind was said and done, I realized I wanted something different.

These days I'm also trying to be less online but clearly failing at it :)

I'm very excited about Quarto, and I'm convinced we're building something unique. I can't wait to share it with you in the next months and years!

Introducing my lab to the Mastodon community! We are located at the University Laval, Quebec City, Canada and we are an Applied and Molecular Plant Pathology lab investigating the clubroot disease affecting canola industry, strawberry green petal phytoplasma and bacterial canker of tomato among other diseases affecting modern agriculture 🌿

Happy to see our new manuscript out - excellent work on #pangenome in #Aspergillus fumigatus lead by Lotus Lofgren to explore #comparative and #population genomic approaches to the dynamics of this important human pathogen and ubiquitous #fungus. https://plos.io/3tEuID5
