@edeeyto @dhenrypinilla @invent_water @MarineInst looking great the lot of you!

Out with @dhenrypinilla on Lough Feeagh as part of her @invent_water secondment along the #WildAtlanticWay in 🇮🇪 @MarineInst

Really enjoying @bls8tokyo2024 ! So great to see the diversity in everyone's work. But alas, time is running out so if I haven't met you yet, come say hi! I'm easy to find & if you can't see me you can probably hear me 🙃 Will happily chat away about Tuna (or Taylor Swift)!

Huge congrats to @TCDZoology - the discipline has received the highest rating of Green in the @My_Green_Lab programme. Efforts led by PhD Emma King saw all research teams adapting more sustainable practices. (1/2)

Congratulations to my wonderful friend and colleague on her tenacity and hard work to get this incredible piece of research out into the world! Basking sharks are regionally endothermic after all 🔥

@TicketmasterCS please can you advise why I haven't received an email clarifying my selected or waitlisted status for the #erastouruk ?

What a nice happy community ! Devoted to detections! 🐟🦈

Awesome talk by @jlrudd presenting her PhD research on Atlantic bluefin #tuna and how they behave post-release 👏🐟🎣 Amazing results and lovely slides!! @exetermarine #ICFT2023

@nicklpayne @TCD_NatSci Thanks for a great day out and a wonderful chance to hear all the great #sharkscience and #tunascience happening in #Ireland and meet the Great Auk

I miss you like it was the very first night. Good thing we’re about to go onstage and do the whole thing again tonight. See you 🔜 Glendale, Erazona☺️ 📷: @ShearerPhoto, Kevin Winter, @GettyImages

Thanks everyone for offers to help/advice! I've subsequently made some progress and seem to be on the right track now 🥳 Great to see lots of people willing to help 👏

Does anyone have experience using GAMMs? And any advice? R seems to be taking an awfully long time to run anything...

@VerhelstPJ Thanks for the advice! I'll give it a go. Yes GAMMs seem to be a bit of a minefield - but hopefully I'm now making some progress!

@gmcnicho Did you check the bam() function in the mgcv package? This function is designed to calculate GAMMs on large datasets. Also, I tried GAMMs a few times, but each time I came back to GLMMs, which are much easier to interpret.

@FelicieDh @DH_Freedive @FisheriesRobert Awesome - thank you :)

@gmcnicho Get in touch with @DH_Freedive ! Or, see if you can get help from the excellent @FisheriesRobert

here we go again.
