Hi there!
Ben Black
Head of the Working Group Data and Modelling Infrastructure for Living Labs
I’m Ben, a scientific researcher currently working as Head of the Working Group Data and Modelling Infrastructure for Living Labs at the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) within the Innovation Centre for Agricultural System Transformation.
I’m a BIG fan of R stats for everything research related particularly for promoting open science and reproducibility. I started this site/blog to share some of my work that doesn’t necessarily make it into publications in the hope that others will find it useful. Thanks for stopping by!Experience
