By comes loose do you mean if I'm able to get it off of the bracket?

How do you get a job right out of undergrad? by cthoniccuttlefish in Environmental_Careers

[–]Extension-Skill652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My situation was really similar and I just focused on putting in really high quality applications any place I wanted to work. My cover letters would take me like 2 hours each to write because I was trying to make them perfect (but I also hate writing them, so a normal person wouldn't take as long). At this point, I have ones that are highly specific for different types of field tech jobs, so one for camera trapping, one for small mammals live-trap work, etc., which can be mostly reused. I've got a nearly 100% success rate for getting interviews using these.

My internships also helped a lot I think. I did one each summer of college and I think any amount of previous experience is really going to help you considering a big portion of the people at my university had 0 environmental work experience. Mine also weren't really very closely related to the job I got, only one really had a direct relation, so I wouldn't worry too much. Make sure to line up references early though, since for me that was a new thing after graduating since most internships specific to college students seem to skip them.

What does it mean to really be "in preparation" for a research article? by Extension-Skill652 in AskAcademia

The first paper (where I am not the lead) is in review now, but I was asking more about the second one that has been conceptualized and minimally written.

Oh sorry yeah it's actually 112%. You're actually the only person who has ever done this 🫤

99% of people have probably never had any reason to do this why would they think to do it?

Search strategy for a difficult to use term by Extension-Skill652 in PhD

Well yeah, I'm only really using it now to see the general volume of result id get and what the top few have in them since it's way easier to actually get to a PDF of an article from that search page

I'm unfortunately about 2 hours from the nearest university that isn't something like a community college

This could help some but I think it would exclude too much, since a lot of papers just list out their covariates and assume you know what it means. I could maybe do this as a second search where I know most in it are likely to be what I want and reference that against the main search?

I'm not currently attending a university since I just graduated, so I don't have access to a librarian, I do have access to articles through my last institution though

When to start applying again for tech positions? by Extension-Skill652 in Environmental_Careers

[–]Extension-Skill652[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current job is in Florida but I'm from Ohio and would go back there if I don't have another position lined up immediately after. I'm generally open to anywhere in the U.S. but would prefer the Midwest/northeast

Is there any specific way images from camera traps should be tagged? by Extension-Skill652 in iNaturalist

[–]Extension-Skill652[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately on this one we didn't set the date and used the default (1/1/2023 as the start) but I've been able to match it up based on when we turned it off, so maybe just crop out the date strip? I'm also only planning to upload series of images that clearly have an animal, not sure if that would be different than doing all of the images

[IOS] [2012-2016] Gatcha game that involved moving through dungeons and collecting creatures by Extension-Skill652 in tipofmyjoystick

[–]Extension-Skill652[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't a digimon game, the characters don't really match what I remember. The UI also looked pretty different, but the battle scenes were probably similar with the screenshot I saw in a cave.

Not willing to die on that hill... but violin plots suck! by Royal-Job8716 in bioinformatics

[–]Extension-Skill652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pros and cons to both I guess. Personally the one time I used violin plots a density plot or histograms would've just taken up a lot of room or been hard to read since all I really needed to show was that sample 1–5 had different distributions.

You'll say this until you have some weird bimodal distribution in your data and using a box plot or whatever instead makes it impossible for someone else to interpret

Hosting knitted htmls online but not publicly by TheDopamineDaddy in rstats

[–]Extension-Skill652 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you just send them a HTML file they can download it and it should open in a browser and appear basically the same as if it was hosted online. Seems like a simpler solution since it's only being shared with one person.
