This post is a companion to the poster that I presented at ABS 2022, San José, Costa Rica. It contains a bit more information about the project.
A talk I gave at the 2021 SORTEE conference about my experience implementing data management and reproducibility tools retroactively, for an existing project, even if best practices weren’t used from the beginning. I also discuss organizing and making sense of someone else’s analyses when approaching the project as an outsider.
For my whole life, I've associated colors with letters and numbers. This is called grapheme-color synesthesia. For my second major project in Shiny, I built an app to help me explain synesthesia to friends, and to learn more about the experiences of other synesthetes.
From June through December 2020, I taught myself Shiny and ended up creating a pretty complicated interactive dashboard for exploring dialect variation across the US. Here's a bit about my experience using Shiny, as well as the app itself for you to play around with.
For my B.S. thesis project at Yale, I measured how fast wood frog tadpoles swim in response to a simulated predator attack, and how that swimming speed relates to their developmental rate. It turns out that developing fast comes with a performance cost, and that tradeoff might help to explain some of the patterns we've observed in wood frogs' developmental rates in the past. A short description of the post.
