R and Big data
The EPA air quality data set is massive. It may require working with data.frames on the order of 30gb. I have been looking into R literature discussing the practical limitations of standard computations in R and how to effectively work with “big data.” This post may eventually become a nice tutorial but for now it […]

Outstanding paper on best practices for scientific computing
This paper is so useful and so well written I thought it might be a good idea to have it no further than a click away. This quick and easy read outlines some really simple and applicable tips for writing better code. I thought I would include this on the site because writing better code […]
Radiation training
Radiation training is required for everyone working in the lab. Modules 0 and 11 are required and can be completed online at http://www.ehs.colostate.edu/WRad/Home.aspx. Watch the short powerpoint presentation and try to pay attention because they ask surprisingly specific questions at the end (you need to know the phone number of the radiation control office). Module 1 […]
