Update to the R POPGRAPH library
As part of an ongoing research project, I was simulating some populatiuon graph structures and found an annoying feture in the current popgraph library when comparing disconnected graphs for distance congruence. Fixed it and updated the version to 1.5.3
Github Distill Manuscript Automation
Here is a quick fix to helping you streamline your manuscript creation using the rmarkdown::distill package so that your output is automatically put in the right locations for display on Github Pages.
Workshop on R Data Literacy
The lecture content from a 2-day workshop I delivered for individuals working at the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality tht focused on building a foundation of data analysis using R.
Guest Lecture in ENVS102
Today I delivered a guest lecture to the students in ENVS102: Introduction to Environmental Studies II about my career path, what my reserach is about, and some larger picture issues for the Environmental Studies program.
Unneceessary Output by dplyr
I love tidyverse but cannot understand how the authors disregard meaningless output so poorly. Here is how to quiet some of that extra cruft when you load in tidyverse
Craft.app + rstudio::distill = blogging
As part of my switch from using Hugo + RMarkdown to make my own blogs to using rstudio::distill to increase some of the simplicity that happens in my life—Hugo was just too much complexity and fragility and at times would just break. However, distill is something that I can use to directly integrate into my workflows as well as capture the raw manuscripts I'm working on (distill manuscripts are quite nice and can serve as a pre-print option as well).
Craft + RStudio + Distill = Post
This is the R side of the Craft -> Website through RStudio and Distill. I've set up a workflow here to take posts exported in markdown from Craft to be imported into this site's workflow.
Smoothing rasters
Sometimes it is helpful for visualization purposes (or when making a nice graphic), to smooth out a raster image. Here are some cheap and quick methods.

Moving Old Markdown Posts
Another take at moving **old** markdown content to a *new* platform. While markdown is supposed to be universal, the kinds of meta data assocaited with it in certain systems is a bit wonky and forces us to do some magic. Here I take a less retentive approach than what I did moving manuscript entries over since I do not have to maintain as much meta-data about each post.
Moving Manuscripts from Hugo
The use of Markdown for your site is very helpful but not alll markdown formats are the same. Here is how I moved from Hugo to rstudio::distill for the manuscripts section of the lab webpage.
