anna_reads_scienceWelcome!
In my day job, I'm a scientist. I started as a psychologist, went sideways into statistics/medical research, and now work with weather data to synthesise it in ways useful in the Western Australian agricultural industries. One of my low energy, don't-have-enough time-for-it hobbies is reading academic journal articles -- primarily in the areas I'm most familiar with, but like anything else on the internet, there are lots of fascinating rabbit holes to explore
I spend a lot of time working in R, which means I spend a lot of time looking up things that I theoretically know how to use, but in practice don't use often enough to remember the syntax.
This blog brings those two together. It gives me an outlet for writing/rambling about the articles I'm reading, and a place to store all the bits of R knowledge I want to be able to access. Personal stuff is on my other blog, which i'm not linking here, because I want to be able to access this one from work.
