This Saturday - will we give Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples a seat at the table by voting Yes? Or will we leave them to pick up the crumbs that fall from that table. The Australian people must decide. – at Broome, Western Australia

Over the last 5 years I've been writing a book, and the e-book version is out now! link.springer.com/book/10.10… Complete with code boxes, maths boxes, ninjas and the odd Australianism which I hope won't get lost in translation. Solutions and supporting code in ecostats package on CRAN

Another something I often tell biology students moving into statsland: "If you can’t produce a graph of the raw data that visualise the key pattern your analysis tells you is there, maybe there is a problem with your analysis!" - taken from link.springer.com/book/10.10… @ecostats book

(3/3) Tjanpi is the Pitjantjatjara word for Triodia, a long-lived grass with a central role in supporting diverse forms of life in Australia’s arid regions. We hope the awardees will similarly be central to diverse research activities in environmental science. But less spiky :)

Remember how we were asked to focus less on COVID case numbers? And that deaths and hospitalisation data mattered more? Well, here are the COVID death data for Australia.
Average number of deaths per day due to COVID in Australia for each month since the start of the pandemic. Feb 2022 has averaged >60 deaths per day, more than any other month (Jan 2022 is approx 50 per day)
