I’m running the NYC Marathon 🍎! This is my first charity run, and I’m proud to support the Marfan Foundation in honor of James (in the sweet Nirvana shirt). Marfan affects the body’s "glue" (connective tissue). Help me hit $4k for life-saving research: give.marfan.org/ryanj

Tomorrow, I’m hosting a free Posit Team User Training workshop. Whether you're completely new to Posit Team or looking to level up your current understanding, this session will give you the hands-on insights you need. ⏰ When: June 10th, 12-2:30 pm ET Sign up here: academy.posit.co/posit-team-u...

I've just tried Posit Assistant on the free plan and must say, I'm impressed. Using the super-cheap Gemma 4 26B model (10% cost of Sonnet) on free plan it worked instantly. Hats of to the #posit team for integrating this into RStudio and allowing people to test with free plan!

Excited to join this week's Data Science Hangout! Come hang out and we can chat all things data science, teaching, running, Posit Academy, Peru, and more! posit.co/data-science...

If you love the Packages tab in RStudio, you're going to love this new feature in Positron!!!

Jeremy Allen@jeremy-data.bsky.social · 3mo ago

I'm checking out the new packages pane in our #Positron IDE. Python or #RStats. The little blue arrows mean package updates are available. Search, sort, install, update, remove, and filter by category. More cool metadata coming in a future release.

We are thrilled to announce that Positron Server is now available for academic use via JupyterHub! This gives students a robust #RStats & #Python data science IDE without needing a local install or new infrastructure. Learn more: positron.posit.co/blog/posts/2...

After a stellar Posit internal work week, I'm feeling inspired to get back on Bluesky! My first question - Posit is trying to figure out what to do with this website: education.rstudio.com It's older and hasn't been maintained, but it is still very valuable.

RStudio Education helps people achieve data literacy using the R language, tools, and content.

This is a fun data science exercise: Can you make a plot/table look truly awful? During a call with a customer, where we used AI features in #positron, someone created this beauty!

Join me as I geek out on Positron Assistant and Databot! Also a great session for those new to Positron and want to learn the basics!

📆 Join us for the 2nd event in our Positron series focused on AI-Powered Data Science on October 29, 2025! In efforts to continue this mission, we are excited to introduce agentic AI capabilities in Positron, our new, free code editor for R and Python. Register here: events.zoom.us/ev/Ajss5j9Ve...

Sharing some virtual meeting etiquette - don't call out people for "being quiet" on a call. Speaking is not the only way to engage in meetings. Don't underestimate the power of listening.

First time trying databot, and I'm 🤯 I (well, databot mostly) analyzed a recent #Tidytuesday dataset and then published the results to #Posit Connect Cloud...all in less than 10 minutes. This is the future, folks 0197485c-b054-52b4-747a-b2f30cd6a449.share.connect.posit.cloud

No trick, all treats - posit::conf(2024) talks are now on YouTube! 🍬 Over a thousand people gathered in Seattle and online to dive into all things open-source data science. With 100+ talks, there's a lot to explore! Check out the playlist: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #RStats #Python

R in Production, r-in-production.org, is a new book that will help you put R into production, coupled with (in the near future) new tools to make the process less painful. I'm working on this with @thomasp85.com , @gaborcsardi.bsky.social, and @hfrick.bsky.social.

I've been working on a Quarto blog to showcase my training videos—it's not really a blog but more like a "content organizer." The default blog styles didn't quite work for me, so I dabbled with custom listings in Quarto. I've never used ejs before, but wowsers is it cool! quarto.org/docs/website...

We’re thrilled to share that @hadleywickham.bsky.social has been honored with the 2025 ASA Statistical Computing and Graphics Award by the American Statistical Association. This award highlights Hadley’s contributions, particularly his development of #RStats tools. Congratulations, Hadley!
