I sound like a broken record, but if you can only do one sanity check before sharing your data, let it be this. Check your rows. 1. Do you have the correct number of cases? 2. Are any cases duplicated or missing? 3. Are the unique identifiers valid? Thank you for your time. 🙏
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
In a few weeks I’ll be giving one of this year’s Ihaka Lectures. This is a big honor for me, I have to say, as I’ve has benefitted so much from R and learned so much from its community of developers and users over the years. This year’s other lecturers are @nrennie.bsky.social and @robjhyndman.com.

Had the privilege of competing in the #hyrox NYC women's relay with 3 other working moms and we are still in disbelief that we came in 3rd in our age group. So proud of this team for putting in the work and exceeding expectations 🥹

Ever come back to an #rstats project and…it just doesn’t work anymore? Or struggle to keep up with all the latest R packages & tools, much less integrate them into your code? Keeping R workflows up-to-date can feel daunting - but luckily, @rladiessb.bsky.social has some thoughts ⤵️
Hello, all! 👋 I'm Danielle, and I’m truly stoked to be this week’s rotating curator 🥳 💫 A brief intro: I am a marine scientist at @emlab.ucsb.edu, where I use #rstats to research and support the sustainable use of ocean resources 🌊 🐟
R version 4.6.0 "Because it was There" (source version) has been released. It should be on CRAN by now. #rstats The choice of codename is in remembrance of R Core member Tomàš Kalibera (1978-2026). Among many other things, he was a keen mountain climber.

I took the contents of my workshop at RainbowR on the topic of LLMs in R & made it into a course! It's about {ellmer}, and I spent soo long agonising over how to sell it, I gave up & instead released it under a "Pay What You Want" model 😅😂 #rstats #llms #ai www.aifordatapeople.com/courses/llms...
LLMs in R - Quick Wins
A fun, practical approach to learning how to work with LLMs in R. This is a course for anyone looking to get a quick overview of the most important aspects of working with the ellmer package.

Six months from today, YOU could be joining us at posit::conf! A topic I plan to explore is how we best borrow ideas from across different fields (from DS to DE, team-of-one to enterprise, etc.) Ironically, that's also one of the magical things about the conf 1/2

Hi, I’m this week’s curator, Josi! I‘m a PhD student in statistical genetics 🧬 and use #RStats to do #SEM. I dabble in #DataViz and recently wrote my first #Rpackage. My hobbies are reading #Fantasy books 📚 and #maximalism. You may catch me at a conference matching my outfit to my poster 🤓🧜🏽♀️ #rladies
