P < 0.05 Significant Notes

Ok this week we are going to start something fun! Gifs are the new fun way to express:  how people feel, a situation, or just for fun.  But gifs can be used for your science and math also! Say you have a presentation or a project where you would like to show the changes to your graph in a rolling images rather then a mosaic of images. Well you can do this in R! I have found two easy ways of doing this. Both are relatively easy to do, however you have to do a bit of leg work before you get to the fun part.  When I was researching this for a project I was working on, I found that the most important part was downloading the packages needed to execute the .gifs. However in most tutorials out there would glaze over this part, as if you should already know how to download the packages needed. Since they aren't as strait forward as we would like, I will go over that first then show you how you can make a fun easy .gif for your work. I will brake up this blog into two parts to co...

Open Source Platform. To any data manager, data scientist, or coder when you hear or see those words you think gold mind. Open source platforms are the best thing to utilize for your work. First its free! Second its peer reviewed (in most cases)! Third it gives you the ability to use it as you please! And the list goes on... I think you get my point. For me, having open source tools and resources are essential to my work. I have little to no budget at my disposal for my projects. So when I need other resources to enhance the data set, open resources are my only option. And lucky for me there are tons of data sets, platforms, and tools out there that help me with my work every day. More and more people are learning how to code, but not as many as should. I understand the hesitation behind this. In my generation, scientists used paid programs like Jump, SPSS, Systat, SigmaPlot, MatLab, etc. Because it was the trend... if you had to pay for it it must be the best. Right? Also why...

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog P < 0.05 Significant Notes ! This bog will be an outlet for me to share fun or interesting notes on coding, data management and any thing science related that comes my way. A little about me... My current work is focused on the Antarctic Weddell seals. However there are several projects in my lab that I help with so sometimes I will post larval fish or qPCR. So I hope that you will enjoy my blog and subscribe to follow my weekly posts.
