So looking forward to hearing from Harriet Mason Wed Sept 2nd, 10am ET about ggdibbler and visualizing uncertainty! @harriet-mason.bsky.social #ggplot2 #rstats #dataviz

Recently graduated with your doctorate in statistics, econometrics, or a related discipline? Interested in being in an environment supportive of open source software? Then this position (careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/jo...) might be for you, and we want you! #rstats 🐨🦘

Super excited to get this at my door today! Ursula Laa and my book on exploring high-d data and models is in print! Book website is www.routledge.com/Interactivel... if interested I think my 30% discount code might work for you - msg me. Time to update dicook.github.io/mulgar_book/ too! #rstats

Had a wonderful time tuning in to the speakers 👏 Super awesome to see such a diverse line up! I particularly loved Harriet's doodle of @hadley.nz. The earrings are on point 🤌 #dataviz #ggplot2 #opensource

I wrote out the whole exhausting narrative of what's happened at UNL over the past 2.5 months, including the videos, the memes, and a fair bit of snark. srvanderplas.github.io/posts/other/... The Board of Regents decides our fate in 2 days.

HEY! YOU! ggdibbler 0.6.1 is finally up on CRAN! harriet-mason.github.io/ggdibbler/in... You can now pass random variables to any aesthetic in any ggplot geom/stat. If you can express it as a distribution, ggdibbler can plot it. It also works with ggplot extensions, like gganimate. #rstats

If you're following the #UNL #statistics saga (proposed for elimination based on bad stats), you might find the seminar we gave yesterday interesting... youtu.be/fUk2R0UYWpA It was weird to rail against someone for an hour, but strangely cathartic, and the #datavis seems to have been effective?

Wrapped up #useR2025 👩‍💻 Feeling inspired to explore Positro and dive into tools like Air, chores, hexsession, arrow, and sparsvctrs. Also made a tile of my R package collection with hexsession 📦✨. Thanks to everyone who made this event such a great learning experience 🙌 #rstats #RCommunity

Just finished at #useR2025 and had a great time! Especially because I had an opportunity to present ggdibbler. The slides from my talk are available here: harriet-mason.github.io/talk_useR-20... (Although they are a bit confusing out of context)
