Hi all–sharing a video of a talk I gave last week to the University of Washington’s School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences. My goal was to introduce Julia to an audience of statistically savvy fishery and wildlife biologists who are mostly working in R, but using Stan and/or [TMB](https://github.com/kaskr/adcomp) to fit complex ecological models. There seemed to be some interest, so hopefully I’ve convinced at least a couple of people to try Julia…

Please feel free to share with the quantitative ecologist in your life!
