Status for May 11

11 May 2016

What did I work on today?

nodeProperties: made two graphs prettier. More informative figure captions all around. Communicated with coauthors, and will start crafting my part of the discussion with Andrew soon (probably early next week)
tempVar infection: polished and submitted.
hostRange: found a bug! squished it. Also thought of a cool idea that probably should’ve occurred to me awhile ago. If I really want to like the simulations to the empirical data, why not fit the empirical data to the distribution that is used to generate simulated data? Now I have estimates that I directly compare to my simulations, which could provide insight into when we can (and when we can’t) estimate host range.

graduation: picking up my grandpa from the airport. Need to clean car/house/self before so I look like I’m an adult.
tempVar: population: push along EWS and extinction subprojects
hostRange: simulations should be done by tomorrow. Check them out and make sure they make sense. Pursue the distro fitting angle and see where it leads. It’s a stronger move than looking at evenness, and provides a tighter link between theory and field data.
