A new post in the Beach Science series: Warm-Up Exercises for the Beach Scientist
friendly.github.io/blog/posts/2...
I wrote detailed guidelines for acceptable / not AI use for my #psy6136 grad course on Categorical Data Analysis.
I was generally quite pleased with the results.

"Yankee Doodle" was a ditty (Roud 4501) that predated the American Revolution & was adapted by both British and Americans to mock one another. To mark the 250th anniversary, Trump birthday & #NoKings protest we've made a 2026 arrangement, where you can find the lyrics: themarshfamily.bandcamp.com 🎶
This makes me SO HAPPY! This is what I want people to do! See tidytuesdayR on CRAN for relatively easy dataset submissions! dslc-io.github.io/tidytuesdayR...
I recently had to make a static photo gallery with #QuartoPub and used PhotoSwipe (which is neat!) so I decided to plugin-ize it to make it easier to use elsewhere, so behold, quarto-static-photo-gallery! andrewheiss.github.io/quarto-stati...
I'm on holiday, Leucate Plage 🇫🇷, my favourite spot in the universe.
Decided to write some blog posts on Beach Science: lying on a beach towel, considering interesting scientific questions.

Here's a #statsmeme I sometimes use to talk about simplistic, uncritical outlier rejection rules

And a joyous read!
I just ignore packges without a detailed README or vignette, no matter what they promise in the DESCRIPTION.
Beautifully done!! Kudos 👍

Before any good Beach Science can begin, the researcher must calibrate. Four exercises for becoming properly horizontal, attentive, and curious.
The practice of lying on a beach towel and allowing fundamental scientific questions to bubble up from the sand and sea around you.
