ABI 198 Section B: Wrapping Up Analysis Week

     Keep working hard guys as we approach the end of the quarter! Today's class session was focused on individual work, asking questions and wrapping up analysis.


“Not Art and Science serve alone; Patience must in the work be shown.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Remember to refocus and stay patient as we finish up with analysis week and as coding can be frustrating.


Meeting Minutes:

12:10 - Met at Briggs hall 122

12:11 - We wished Cameron a happy birthday (happy birthday Cameron!) 

12:10-1:50 Time to ask Marshall and Crystal questions and work on R

1:50 - Class ended 



What we did:

Students just asked questions and for help on individual analysis. Someone asked Marshall how to read and interpret

what R spits out/output and Marshall explained and interpreted the output of one of the students data in front of the

class. Marshall also reminded the class about p-values and the 0-0.5 threshold for significance.Some don't report the actual value if it is not significant, they just simply state that the p-value was not significant.

 


For next class session:

Our last class meeting will be more of a discussion based class. Peers can share any particular findings they found

interesting or any possible future studies they think would be worth doing. And to wrap up the class we can share what

our favorite locations were. The rest of the time can be spent working on papers and to ask Marshall and Crystal any

last minute questions anyone may still have. 


Reminder manuscripts are DUE JUNE 5 by 11:59p.m. on google drive folder! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need help or are having difficulty with analysis! Have a great weekend guys :)

ABI198 Section B– Granaries, Bark, and Satellites: An Ever-Evolving Quest

Image
May 7th, 2025 Great job everyone for charging full speed into today's adventures! Looks like our Cahill group was able to find 4 new granaries (7 total) and our Quail Ridge group found 7 new ones (9 total), so the race to find our precious granaries is neck and neck! And a special shoutout to our satellite group for enduring the grueling technicalities of satellite imagery today, whether or not we struck gold. A lesson we learned today back in Briggs 122 was that there are TONS of ways to go about satellite imagery, with articles left and right outlining the obstacles we may face when attempting such a feat. But any progress is still progress and I feel confident that we will use what we learned today to develop a strong foundation for our image analysis. And if anyone needs a reminder, the only reason we have an idea light bulb that can spark over our minds is because of the determination of one individual to persevere through the mess of it all: "I have not failed. I've ...

The Great Granary Quest Takes a Planning Day

Image
 Our class meeting began with three people out inspecting Stebbins for granaries. While they were out, we began with a recap of what the three different groups found at Quail Ridge and Cahill. Once we shared our findings, it became clear: we didn’t have nearly enough granaries for the research we had imagined. But, with our collective minds that had read different papers we came up with some pretty good ideas to research.  “ Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ” - Ralph Waldo Emerson Here are our minutes: 11:00 am - Stebbins group leaves  12:10 pm - Met in Briggs and began with a recap from each group 12:30 pm - Put information from readings and questions into "Woodpecker information and Ideas" * Make the most out of granaries we find because we most likely wont find more than 20* 12:50 pm - Brainstorm plans 1:00 pm -  split into groups and discuss plans  Are our field methods adequate? What else do we want to measure in the field? What analyses do...
