Howdy, Dillon here.
Last week, I told you how Learn Adventurously started with live events aimed at connecting people with biodiversity science. You can read that past newsletter on our email archive.
But, that isn’t technically true.
Learn Adventurously actually started as a blog. Delivering free information and resources to a small reader base. This blog eventually grew into what you see today.
My goal is to make Learn Adventurously the go-to resource for anyone passionate about the natural world. My resource library at www.learnadv.com/library has a growing collection of free eBooks, handouts, and webinars designed to help you understand the world around us.
Here are a few of my free flagship resources that I think you’ll enjoy: Fundamentals of R for Biologists eBook. A straightforward book that covers how to analyze ecological data in R. I teach you using the tidyverse package and only provide examples that are directly related to eco-evolutionary studies. Find it here
Obscuring Observation Records for Conservation. A 30 page pdf handout that covers the conservation issues with geotagging biodiversity. I then provide best practices for obscuring tags for both social media and for published research. Find it here.
Webinar Recap – Island Biogeography: Diversification through natural isolation. A 40 minute webinar recap on the core Island Biogeography theory. I provide real case studies paired with simplified explanations to help you with this core concept. Find it here.
All of these resources are found in the Learn Adventurously Library. While every resource there is 100% free, I implemented an optional pay what you want field. Contributions of any amount helps keep these resources free for others. I’m always working on new educational resources. As a subscriber to this newsletter, you are the first to receive updates on any new resources that I publish!
In fact, next week’s newsletter will reveal a brand new resource to help you read and understand phylogenetic trees! A resource I desperately need to keep working on…Thank you for being part of Learn Adventurously—I’m excited to keep providing you with the tools, insights, and experiences that make biodiversity knowledge accessible and impactful.
Catch you next week,- D
