In my last article, I compared views about ecological restoration presented by some ecologists to those presented by authors from an indigenous background. As I was writing, I used Claude to generate word clouds of the two scientific articles. My…
‘“Restoration can then be viewed as an attempt to force transitions towards a desired state, and as requiring knowledge of the variables that need to be manipulated to achieve these transitions” (Hobbs and Norton 1996, emphasis added).’ [as quoted in…
I ended my last article with a series of questions I’m sitting with at this point in my exploration of ecological restoration. Of those, I’m currently most interested in the question: This article explains why this question matters to me…
Two articles ago, I shared some reflections on a webinar on indigenous knowledge and ecosystem restoration featuring Dr. Stewart Hill. Another thing in Dr. Hill’s talk that piqued my interest was his thoughts on invasive species. My most recent article…
In my recent explorations into ecological restoration, the topic of invasive species has come up a few times. I’m thinking of doing a more in-depth article on the topic. But in this article, I wanted to share a story that…
A few weeks ago, after deciding I wanted to delve deeper into ecological restoration, I did what I often do when I want to learn more about something: I searched YouTube. After one or two shorter videos, I wanted a…
For many years I’ve been interested in ecological restoration, but it’s mostly been a side interest. Recently I decided to take a more active role in learning about ecological restoration and to share my journey through this blog. This article…
Choosing the right name for my business was a challenging and time-consuming process. In this article, I'll share my experience of selecting a name for my company and the reasons behind my decision. I brainstormed ideas, sought feedback, and ultimately chose a name that reflected my values and mission.

Additionally, securing the best domain name was a crucial step towards establishing a strong online presence.
Why doesn't a small p-values automatically prove the alternative hypothesis? In this third article of my series on teaching resources for stats and R, I share a graphical Monte Carlo simulation I developed to teach my students about classical hypothesis testing and p-values.
In this second article in my series on creating teaching resources for statistics and R, I provide demonstrations of the central limit theorem, sampling from populations that follow various distributions.
