I am excited to share the first chapter of an online, video-based R course for biologists. It is meant for beginners and focuses on data analysis of tabular data (what fits in an excel file). @Ryan_Fergusson7 and I made the videos. (1/n)
Port #cities like #Baltimore are the first stop for many introduced forest pests that can cause widespread damage (including extirpation) to #urban #trees and rural #forests. @treeSMARTtrade
Port cities are common entry points for insect pests, which can arrive via solid wood packing materials + plants destined for the nursery trade. Stopping pests before they spread is critical to preventing widespread tree loss.
