Ongoing work on a flexible spatio-temporal model for occupancy data w/ a GAM-like approach in Nimble.

French annual meeting in statistical ecology

On my way to Rennes for our annual meeting on Statistical Ecology, looking forward to catching up w/ the French crowd.

Elise Zipkin's visit

It was so great to have you @ZipkinLab w/ us, it was too short though, come back soon 😋🚀 Monarch 🦋 are fascinating, data integration is the way to go! @twitthair1 pic.

Public lecture on statistical ecology

I will soon be talking to an audience of Master students giving thoughts about how ecology and statistics may interact (aka Statistical Ecology), with large carnivors as a case study.

Review of HMMs in ecology

Our new preprint on HMMs for ecology, or how we’'’ve been using HMMs for ever without even knowing it.

Visit to Norway

Landing in Norway to meet w/ Bischof's group @andyroyle_pwrc @R_nimble and brainstorm about large carnivores and spatially-explicit capture-recapture models #SCR @TouraniMa @PierreDupont47 @Milleret_Cyril the 20 degrees difference w Montpellier is... vivifying 😎🤧 pic.
