What have I worked on?

esaDisease: planning meeting in the morning prompted some small changes to website structure.
priorityEffects: wrote code for maximum likelihood fitting for the full set of models, and associated nll functions. However, I’m not sure if I did everything correctly. Need to continue to run tests on the code to make sure it’s doing what it should be doing. This took the majority of the day. Oof.
helmsize: Alyssa liked the project idea, and created a repo. I played around with the data a bit, but haven’t done much more than play around and write a couple of small support functions.
dispersalTrait: edited protocol. It’s ready to go. Got paint pen in and I have high hopes it’ll work for marking beetles. If it does, we’re in business to start this experiment in early-mid January.

professionalService: review article
helmsize: push along
thresholdDensity: work on responses to reviewers and editor. Be clear about where the changes are (line numbers).
labLogistics: Census number of patches in prep for spatial experiment in early January. Wash as many dishes as you can.
priorityEffects: get data ready to be offered to the maximum likelihood gods.
