# Number MoreEcolExamples NoMathsAvoidance TeachToProgramR IWishIHad ################### F. Barraquand et al. 2013. Lack of quantitative training among early-career ecologists: a survey of the problem and potential solutions # The variables above summarizes the comments of respondents that answered the "Suggestions" box # (Not all of the respondents left comments) # We selected 4 variables (value 1 if the view is expressed in the comment, 0 otherwise) # MoreEcolExamples. Teach maths for ecologists, or at least for biologists, using practical examples (and data) to motivate mathematical techniques. Abstract mathematical/statistical classes, or teachers from pure or applied maths, do # not bridge the gap between maths and application that should exist. # NoMathsAvoidance. Many ecologist come to ecology hoping to avoid maths. We need to advertise more widely to high-school and undergraduate student this is not possible/desirable and make classes of maths and stats compulsory (including catching-up ). # TeachToProgramR. Teach students how to program, and use R or other computing softwares, not hands-on statistical packages. # IWishIHad. Personal story saying maths are important. Either 'I wish I had learned more maths' or 'I've been lucky to learn some maths, and that puts me at a huge advantage now.' 1 1 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 3 0 0 1 0 4 1 0 1 0 5 1 1 0 0 6 0 1 0 0 7 0 0 1 0 8 0 0 0 1 9 0 0 1 0 10 1 0 0 0 11 1 1 0 0 12 0 1 0 1 13 0 1 0 0 14 0 1 0 0 15 1 0 0 0 16 1 0 0 0 17 1 1 1 0 18 0 0 0 0 19 1 0 0 0 20 1 1 0 0 21 1 0 0 0 22 1 0 0 0 23 0 1 0 0 24 0 0 0 0 25 0 0 1 0 26 0 0 0 0 27 1 1 0 0 28 0 1 0 0 29 1 0 0 0 30 0 0 1 0 31 1 0 0 0 32 0 0 0 0 33 0 0 0 0 34 0 0 1 0 35 0 0 0 0 36 0 0 0 0 37 1 0 0 1 38 1 0 0 0 39 1 0 0 1 40 0 0 0 1 41 0 1 0 0 42 1 0 0 0 43 1 0 0 0 44 0 0 0 0 45 0 0 0 0 46 0 1 0 0 47 1 0 0 0 48 0 1 0 0 49 1 0 0 0 50 1 1 0 0 51 1 1 0 0 52 0 0 0 0 53 0 0 0 0 54 0 0 0 1 55 0 0 0 0 56 0 1 0 0 57 1 0 0 0 58 0 1 0 0 59 1 0 0 0 60 0 1 0 0 61 1 1 0 0 62 0 1 0 1 63 0 0 0 0 64 0 0 0 0 65 0 0 0 0 66 0 1 0 0 67 0 1 0 0 68 1 0 1 0 69 0 0 0 0 70 0 1 1 0 71 1 0 0 0 72 0 1 0 1 73 0 1 0 0 74 0 0 0 1 75 0 0 1 0 76 1 0 0 0 77 1 0 0 0 78 0 0 1 0 79 0 0 0 0 80 1 1 0 0 81 0 1 0 1 82 0 0 0 0 83 0 1 0 0 84 0 0 0 0 85 1 0 1 0 86 0 0 0 0 87 1 1 0 0 88 0 1 1 0 89 0 0 0 1 90 0 1 0 0 91 0 1 0 0 92 1 1 0 0 93 0 0 0 0 94 0 0 0 0 95 0 0 0 0 96 0 1 0 0 97 1 0 0 0 98 0 1 0 0 99 0 1 0 1 100 0 0 0 0 101 1 0 0 0 102 1 0 0 0 103 1 0 0 0 104 0 0 0 0 105 0 1 0 0 106 1 0 0 0 107 0 0 0 1 108 0 1 1 1 109 0 0 0 0 110 0 1 0 0 111 0 0 0 0 112 0 0 0 0 113 0 1 0 0 114 1 0 0 0 115 0 0 1 1 116 1 0 0 0 117 1 0 0 0 118 0 0 1 0 119 0 0 0 0 120 0 1 0 0 121 0 1 0 0 122 0 0 0 0 123 0 1 0 0 124 0 0 0 0 125 0 0 1 0 126 1 0 0 0 127 1 0 1 1 128 0 0 0 0 129 0 0 0 0 130 0 0 0 0 131 1 0 0 0 132 0 0 0 0 133 0 1 0 1 134 0 0 0 0 135 1 0 0 0 136 0 0 1 0 137 0 0 0 0 138 0 1 0 0 139 1 0 0 0 140 1 0 0 0 141 0 0 0 0 142 0 1 0 1 143 1 0 0 0 144 0 0 0 0 145 0 1 0 0 146 0 0 1 0 147 0 1 0 0 148 0 0 0 0 149 0 1 0 0 150 0 0 0 0 151 0 1 0 0 152 1 0 0 0 153 0 0 0 0 154 1 1 1 0 155 1 1 0 0 156 0 0 1 0 157 0 1 0 0 158 0 0 1 0 159 1 1 1 0 160 0 0 0 0 161 1 0 0 0 162 0 0 0 0 163 1 0 0 0 164 1 1 0 0 165 0 0 0 0 166 1 0 1 0 167 0 0 0 0 168 0 0 0 0 169 0 0 0 0 170 0 1 0 0 171 0 0 0 0 172 1 0 1 0 173 0 1 0 0 174 0 0 0 1 175 0 1 0 0 176 0 1 0 0 177 1 0 0 0 178 1 0 0 0 179 0 1 0 0 180 0 1 0 0 181 0 0 0 0 182 0 1 0 0 183 0 1 0 0 184 1 0 0 0 185 1 0 0 0 186 0 0 0 0 187 1 1 0 1 188 0 0 1 0 189 0 1 0 0 190 0 1 0 0 191 0 0 1 1 192 0 0 1 0 193 1 0 0 0 194 0 1 0 0 195 0 1 0 0 196 0 0 0 0 197 0 0 0 0 198 0 0 0 0 199 0 1 0 0 200 0 0 0 0 201 0 0 0 0 202 0 1 0 0 203 1 0 0 0 204 0 1 0 0 205 0 1 0 0 206 0 0 0 1 207 0 0 0 0 208 0 1 0 0 209 0 1 0 0 210 1 0 0 0 211 0 0 0 0 212 1 0 0 0 213 1 0 0 0 214 1 0 0 0 215 0 0 0 0 216 1 1 0 0 217 1 1 0 0 218 1 1 0 0 219 0 0 0 1 220 0 0 1 0 221 0 0 1 0 222 1 0 1 0 223 0 1 0 0 224 0 0 0 0 225 1 0 0 1 226 1 0 0 0 227 1 0 0 0 228 1 0 0 1 229 0 1 0 1 230 0 0 0 0 231 1 0 0 0 232 1 0 0 0 233 0 0 0 0 234 0 0 0 1 235 1 0 0 0 236 1 0 0 0 237 1 0 0 0 238 1 0 0 0 239 0 0 0 0 240 1 0 0 0 241 0 1 0 0 242 1 0 0 0 243 1 0 0 0 244 0 0 0 0 245 0 0 0 0 246 0 1 1 0 247 0 0 0 0 248 1 0 0 0 249 0 0 1 0 250 0 0 0 1
