Create slideshows from your iNat bioblitz data

[ollybolly]

Hi,

Ever wanted to create slideshows to share results from an iNaturalist bioblitz project with fellow participants? I’ve created two R scrips that create: 1) a photo slideshow; 2) a simple statistical and mapping of data slideshow.

The idea is that after a bioblitz-type project over a day or two, you can point this script at your project on iNat and it will automatically create slideshows you can share with others. We have a dinner and presentations after our bioblitz and this is a way to help prepare materials. It’s available on GitHub with detailed how to guides: https://github.com/ollybolly

Warning: you will need to use the R Studio statistical analysis platform . Feel free to modify and enhance. This is my first attempt, so I know it can be improved

@ollybolly

you will need to use the R Studio statistical analysis platform

for folks who don’t want to bother with R, there’s https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/present-data-in-full-screen-slideshow/3289/3.

also, for a simple photo slideshow, there’s this: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/presentation-mode-as-a-full-screen-slideshow-of-observation-images/8316

Here are some example slides that are produced. The first is an example from the photo slideshow R script, the second is from the data exploration slideshow R script.

Thanks for making these available. That looks helpful.

A thing that mixes R and inaturalist??
Oh my I love it
