To go podcast-style... 👇🏻
Show PostAsia Kaiser has been on an incredible streak lately! This new @natecoevo.nature.com paper w @lauradee.bsky.social is the latest. Cool work showing how ecologists can use synthetic control methods to strengthen inference — highlighted using iNat bee data in cities 🐝🌎🧪🌱🌆 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Show PostEcologists! Check out this AWESOME paper using the newer (to us, anyway) Synthetic Control technique in combo w/ @inaturalist.bsky.social to show hurricane impacts on bees. From Asia Kaiser, @julianresasco.bsky.social, and @lauradee.bsky.social 🌍🧪 #causalinference www.nature.com/articles/s41...
