Status for April 17

17 Apr 2017

What have I worked on?

beetleLogistics: some dishes and organizing. Dragging 120 lbs of flour from first floor. I’m a scientist.
checkerBoard1: fixed bug in simulations and am currently re-running some parts. Should be done by tomorrow.
teary: discussed speakers to invite. Some solid names that I’m hoping will visit Davis.
jiaProposal: Provided comments on undergrad research proposal of Jia, a beetle lab researcher.
priorityEffects: tested to see if likelihood of sim parameters was minimized by NLL function of the model used to generate data. It was not. WTH? Investigating further tonight.

priorityEffects: NLL and simulation functions; check for bugs. Fit single species models to simulated data from two-species model with one species at 0 initial abundance.
graphDissim: manuscript dev. Small-ish tweaks for clarity.
checkerBoard1: methods dev to accommodate simulation results

popBuffering: figure out how to respond to “little r” concern.
dispersalTrait: tweaks to manuscript
hostRange and nodeProperties: check with collaborators on both these projects.
