🚨Please retweet this EXCITING opportunity🚨: the SQuID research network is offering student fellowships to visit and collaborate with SQuID-members
squidgroup.org/posts/2022-10…
Relevant projects could include: extending analyses of existing data sets, simulation studies of the performance of statistical methods, integrating theory and analytical approaches, and many others. Fellowships are available to graduate students and postdocs.
Here’s an overview of current members. Feel free to contact them and develop an idea for a proposal. We’re waiting for your proposal!

An exciting last day of the workshop where @joel_l_pick shows the students how to use the squid-simulation tool to investigate how study design decisions affect parameters estimated in mixed model
Today our students worked on random intercept and random slopes models with @DochtermannLab@rose_odea, @DingemanseLab and Dave Westneat. Exciting evening lecture by @joel_l_pick, focusing on predicting evolution in the wild
@SQuID_Group is doing another workshop. This time the meeting is organised by @KateLaskowski at @ucdavis. Today we plan this and future workshops, after which we kick off with the teaching tomorrow
Celine Teplitsky givie the final evening lecture, focusing on how to differentiate between plasticity and micro-evolution in datasets with temporal trends in lay dates of blue tits at @SQuID_Group Montpellier
The Montpellier 2022 @SQuID_Group workshop has been a blast. For their last afternoon, the students are discovering simulations with squidSim package before the farewells..
ALT Instructors and attendees of the Montpellier SQuID workshop are posing for a group picture in Hameau des Etoiles
Day 2 of the @SQuID_Group workshop in Montpellier adds a bit complexity. Today we focus on random regression: mixed-models fitting random intercepts and slopes
@DenisREALE @DochtermannLab@DingemanseLab
First day of the workshop. @KateLaskowski @AnneCharmantier and @DingemanseLab teaching how to interpret interactions, and the importance of centering in linear (mixed) models
@SQuID_Group meeting this week near Montpellier for another workshop (organised by @AnneCharmantier @BA_Class and Celine Teplitsky) to study how to educate biologists in mixed-model analyses, and teach statistics to local students
Very interesting account @joel_l_pick@IebJarrod on how prevalent phenotypic skew can be (including meta-analysis on avian tarsus length) decomposition of the skew shows it is of env. rather than genetic origin yet may often lead to h² overestimation nature.com/articles/s41559-0…
So far, our teaching focused on:
1.Building an equation of variance
2.Understanding fixed effect (interactions)
3.Using mixed models to understand biology
4.Random intercept and random slope models
Halfway the workshop now, so time to stretch our legs
