Anyone ever find something they wish they had read going into grad school? Any particularly useful resources for learning statistics? Work life-balance? Finding grants?
I am working on putting together a webpage of annotated resources for graduate students in ecology. The goal is to have it mostly be free online resources, but there could be a book section as well. While many lab or student sites have a page with similar helpful resources, I am yet to find a page that really compiles them all--a sort of *ecology student's toolkit* (but correct me if I am wrong!) Topics include (but are not limited to): - Grant / scholarship sources - Research methods - Statistics / R - Time management - Data sources - Work-life balance - Resources for Taxonomic ID - Natural history blogs / inspiration - Books/recommended readings - Writing - Data collection / smartphone apps. Feel free to send me links to any blogs, blog posts, interactive tutorials, articles, apps, etc. that you have found useful as a grad student in ecology. I would greatly appreciate your help and happily acknowledge you on the website. I will send out a follow-up email when this is complete--hope to have it done by this fall. You can reply to: lnego...@syr.edu so that we don't clog up the list-serve. Thank you!
