Software

We collaborate on software for biodiveristy data management, analysis and simulation.

We have worked with our collaborators in the Weecology lab to develop the R package for the Data Retriever: A package manager for data. It downloads, cleans, and stores publicly available data, so analysts spend less time managing data, and more time analyzing it. Available for R,

Teaching

We are actively involved in training scientists in both ideas and tools.
