101 tests passed — then R crashed on exit with a Windows stack-buffer-overrun 🫠 I wrapped Rust's link checker lychee into an R package (rambutan). The whole trip, teardown bug and all: #rstats #rust https://l.drmowinckels.io/ajLoWM

Its so dang warm! Happy we have AC to cool down. Even forced the cat to stay indoor the last hour so she is out of the worst of it and can cool down.

I'm an R person who just shipped two cross-platform desktop apps in Rust + Tauri + React — a stack I'd never written before. One built straight in code with Claude, one designed first as a clickable artifact. Story: https://l.drmowinckels.io/sNeRrN

ggseg now draws brains without sf. It installs needing compiled GDAL, GEOS, or PROJ — so it runs on locked-down laptops, HPC clusters, and in the browser (webR/shinylive). Same geom_brain(), identical figures. How & why 👉 ggsegverse.github.io/news/2026-06... #rstats #neuroimaging #ggsegverse

sf is now optional: ggseg installs (almost) anywhere – ggsegverse

Read this incredibly useful post by Community Engineer Steffi LaZerte if you write prose in Quarto or R Markdown! I begged her to write it so I could duplicate her spellcheck, formatting and grammar linting config. (Also, note that we reset the @ropensci.org account, give it a re-follow!) #RStats

Extremely proud and excited that @ropensci.org's community manager @yabellini.bsky.social has been selected for a @sovereign.tech fellowship! It's a much-deserved recognition of her work making #rstats open to all, and a key endorsement of community-building as a fundamental pillar of open-source.

New post on the R-hub blog! "Refactoring with Jarl: a coffee chat" ✨ By @frick.ws + myself, reviewed by @etiennebacher.bsky.social blog.r-hub.io/2026/06/02/j... #RStats

Quarto's `hugo-md` format wraps every figure in raw HTML, so Hugo's image render hook never fires on them. Fifteen lines of Lua + one line in `_quarto.yml` and every figure comes out as clean `` markdown instead. https://l.drmowinckels.io/WgOEMR

I have been quiet a while, but now I'm showing why: First beta of Entracte is out today 🎬 A cross-platform break reminder I've been building — for anyone whose desk job has them staring at a screen too long without realising. entracte.drmowinckels.io #LMM #Claude #Tauri #Rust #breakReminder

I’m excited to meet this cohort of scientists committed to learning R. I’m especially looking forward to the diverse research interests this group will bring and seeing how participants use R to solve real-world problems in lifestyle and brain health research. #RStats

Brian Helsel@bchelsel.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Are you an early-career scientist working in lifestyle and brain health research? Learning R has helped me build practical, career-advancing programming skills that have strengthened my research. I'm leading a small group through the R for Data Science and Advanced R books this summer. Come join us!

Making visible what's always been true. Underrepresented genders are part of this community — and always have been. Our new name RLadies+ makes that clearer than ever. Join us → rladies.org #RLadies #RStats
