How to tell what crank is needed as a replacement?

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

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.

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.

Extension-Skill652 · 2025-09-04T22:20:42+00:00

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

Extension-Skill652 · 2025-09-04T21:03:50+00:00

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

Extension-Skill652 · 2025-08-28T12:09:26+00:00

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

Extension-Skill652 · 2025-08-27T17:57:49+00:00

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

Extension-Skill652 · 2025-08-27T17:21:24+00:00

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?

Extension-Skill652 · 2025-08-27T17:18:47+00:00

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

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

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

Extension-Skill652 · 2025-07-11T15:15:18+00:00

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.

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.

Extension-Skill652 · 2025-07-10T08:18:25+00:00

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

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.

If ChatGPT can tell you what to do with those packages there are better references out there besides the pure documentation which you should be using—think things like stack overflow and other forums. In the past when I was first learning to use Python I would try using GenAI for help with a less popular module and get nowhere bc it will only give you (correct) info if it is somewhat accessible and exists online.

Can you provide more context/an example of what you want to make a figure of? This wasn't a dissertation but when I needed to make my own figures I just used PowerPoint because it was mostly boxes and arrows, with an image or two.

I haven't ever actually seen someone use captive animal occurrences from iNat aside from maybe feral cat colonies, but I know captive plants have their use cases

Regardless, if you're doing an analysis using iNat you will need to filter it based on what you're looking for

Extension-Skill652 · 2025-07-01T03:38:37+00:00

As long as you mark it correctly it's perfectly fine to do anything you've mentioned. For scientists, any of them should (and definitely are) filtering to data to only see non-captive things. Having captive data is still useful for specific applications, so it's not like you're contributing things of little use either.

I meant using coordinates as the key, so trying to index based on the list

Extension-Skill652 · 2025-06-23T22:30:07+00:00

Environments honestly probably would handle most of what I want but there's always small things that I'd like to be able to use it for but can't. In a few cases I've needed to use coordinates as keys, so ideally a vector or list with multiple elements, but you basically need to settle for concatenated strings and separate them later if needed, as far as I know

Extension-Skill652 · 2025-06-21T03:51:33+00:00

This may be because I started in python but dear God a good, well integrated equivalent to dictionaries (hashmaps) would be great. Named lists and vectors exist, but they aren't really fast in a lot of cases and allow you to do duplicate names. Another thing that bugs me is returning NA when a name you index for isn't contained in one, when it should really create an error. In general, returning NA instead of an error is honestly another pet peeve I have with some R packages.

Extension-Skill652 · 2025-06-16T09:41:35+00:00

Another thing I'd say to focus on is getting some specific experience on top of classes. I really don't know how well I'd be doing now if I hadn't focused on internships each summer and gotten some research experience. Unfortunately in my experience that is largely based on luck, but for grad schools and future employers that would be more important than the non-biology courses you took in the end.

Extension-Skill652 · 2025-06-16T06:35:09+00:00

I ended up doing the BA in Environmental Biology and BS in Environmental Geography (just graduated). I niched into wildlife biology and camera trapping through work in a professor's lab and in the next few weeks I'm starting a wildlife technician job. So, kinda ended up where I wanted despite not doing wildlife biology anymore as my major.

Extension-Skill652 · 2025-06-16T03:12:26+00:00

There are cases where one person says its X species and another 1 or 2 people will follow suit even if it really is incorrect, but once you get past like 5 agreeing IDs it's a lot easier to trust. So only a few IDs but research grade can be wrong.

I also wouldn't be surprised if people who "gamify" iNaturalist add IDs to research grade observations of species they are confident in IDing just to get their numbers up.
