1. Description of repository

Well look at that, you've stumbled onto this repository! I am very excited that you decided to visit. I created this repository for homework 1 for STAT 545A, a gradute level statistics course taught at the University of British Columbia. In this repository, you will find this very README.md, which is a GitHub-Flavoured Markdown. You will also find a .Rmd and a .md file, showing off some of my new skills in data exploration. Finally, you will find hw01_instructions.md, which are instructions that helped me make this repository and content.

2.3. What I study

I am lucky to say I get to study salmon 🐟 Specifically, I am looking at the relationship between the productivity of juvenile salmon, and how that relates to extreme stream discharge events. I am hoping that my research will provide further insight into minimum flow requirmements for streams, to maximize conservation efforts, whilst still support human needs.

2.4 Things I like

I like many things. But my top 5 things are:

• Spending time outside
• Cooking... Here is my favourite recipe
• Playing guitar and singing
• Fishing
• Making art

A thought ot leave you with, through the words of Bil Keane:

Yesterday's the past, Tomorrow's the future, Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present
