FastR
R the programming language, being a GNU S, is not one of the fastest out there. To be honest, it is one of the slowest out of the box. You may want to make it run faster sometimes.
Climate Change Series
Effects of large-scale teleconnections on biological processes. I have two more interesting stories to tell in this series before moving on. However, I have been working on other projects recently. I wish I have some grad students, then I can "work" on this too. Well, until then, there won't be any updates.

Large scale climate effect on the growth of a highly migratory shark in the North Atlantic
E3 Episode #3 [to be updated. for now this is just a placeholder, but this one is my favorite thus far]
Seabird Conservation Series
Thoughts, research and behind scene stories. One last piece, and then I am done with this series. It is hard to secure research funding for the conservation of wildlife that do not have any immediate commercial value.

Automating Surveys Series
This series of articles is inspired by a research survey that I participate in. The objective here is to more or less establish, by way of writing and thinking about it, a standard and free way to conduct surveys for scientific research. People who need to conduct surveys should find my endevour useful.
