March Faculty Meeting Notes
ggproblems
OK, so there is a bit of a circular firing squad going on in some of my R installs with ggplot2. Apparently, you can get various CRAN/Github versions out of sync and a whole host of different. Here is how it started:
New sequencer!
USB-3.0 powered!
New URL’s
This web page is now available as through the following URL’s
http://dyerlab.org
http://dyerlab.com
because the longer URL is too long and confusing.

Fancy pie chart (thanks, yihui, you are a genius):

par(mar = c(0, 1, 0, 1)) pie( c(280, 60, 20), c('Sky', 'Sunny side of pyramid', 'Shady side of pyramid'), col = c('#0292D8', '#F7EA39', '#C4B632'), init.angle = -50, border = NA ) |
New Job
I have accepted and begun working as the Director of the Center for Environmental Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University. The Center is a chartered research center whose mission is to… Well, do whatever I think it will do to produce the best research and educational opportunities for our undergraduate and graduate students. We train applied scientists.
The Center has about 10 FTE faculty, a lot of which are shared among groups (e.g., half biology/half CES, half business/half CES, etc.) and several quality adjunct instructors. We have about 250 undergraduates, 40 Masters-level graduate students in the program, and several individuals with Ph.D. students in the Integrative Life Sciences program.
Life Sciences Graduation
Talk at Temple!
Giving a talk up at Temple University, last seminar of the year but one I’ve been looking forward to giving for a while.
Spatial Data Sources
As part of a class in Landscape Genetics, faculty (mostly done by Melanie Murphy and Jeffrey Evans) compiled an extensive list of spatial data sources. These were made available on the course website we hosted but I wanted to make a more persistent copy of them here so they will not be lost. They are listed below the break.
Dyer ENVS Research Talk
Here are my slides from the talk I gave in Dr. Fox’s Survey of Environmental Studies course.

New Semester
Applied Environmental Statistics
This semester, I’ll be leading a graduate course in applied ecological statistics. Should be a lot of fun getting a group of people up to speed on the benefits of being an R guru!
