We are the Santa Barbara, CA chapter of RLadies+. Founded in 2018 💜

👇 Calling all RStudio users who now [also] use Positron 👇 I’m making a Positron tutorial for my @emlab.ucsb.edu colleagues, who primarily use RStudio - what should I include to ease the transition? I'd love to hear your tips, fave resources/tutorials, or how shifting to a new IDE went for you!

This past fall, our R-Ladies SB community came together to brainstorm ways for keeping up to date with the ever-evolving landscape of R & data science tools. We published a blog post on our conversations and recommendations, and @dferraro.bsky.social neatly summarizes them here!

dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited! - `filter_out()` for dropping rows - `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats! tidyverse.org/blog/2026/02...

dplyr 1.2.0

dplyr 1.2.0 fills in some important gaps in dplyr's API: we've added a new complement to `filter()` focused on dropping rows, and we've expanded the `case_when()` family with three new recoding and re...
