And so after a very brief hiatus, version 0.7.0 of "learning statistics with R" exists. Full rebuild in quarto, stylistic fixes, "epilogues from 2026" to comment on how the world changed since original publication, and as an added bonus, no longer misgenders the author learningstatisticswithr.com

I remember reading SoaNM in high school, and it never occurring to me that I could have a career in computing. Best example I know of making highly technical material available to a general audience.

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together. I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.
Happy birthday, Chuck. Proud to carry on your legacy of studying evolutionary biology while going through it
