R/Medicine Hackathon is tomorrow! Focusing on the {teal} package, a framework for building interactive exploratory data analysis applications in clinical trials. Beginners welcome, registration for R/Medicine required. Sign up, prep, and all the deets here: rconsortium.github.io/RMedicine_we...

Wonderful opportunity to engage with the community and pick up some new skills with colleagues!

The R/Medicine Call for Proposals has been extended by one week! New deadline: March 13 First-time speakers are encouraged! Need feedback on your abstract? [email protected] rconsortium.github.io/RMedicine_we... #rstats #opensource #healthcare

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

I had the great privilege of presenting the 𝒈𝒈𝒔𝒘𝒊𝒎 package at this year's R/Medicine conference. 𝒈𝒈𝒔𝒘𝒊𝒎 makes it easy to create swimmer plots for treatment timeline visualization and works with existing 𝒈𝒈𝒑𝒍𝒐𝒕2 frameworks. 📽️ 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbgN...

We're three weeks out from the 'plotnine' meeting at the #ggplot2 extenders group - 'A Grammar of Graphics for Python'! 📊📈🐍 Interested in joining? ggplot2-extenders.github.io/ggplot-extension-club/ 'Please leave your contact info...'

📣 REDCapTidieR 1.2.2 released to CRAN! 📣 Not a ton of changes here, but a couple of bug fixes related to labels and Data Access Groups. Thanks to all who alert us to bugs and help us make the package better! cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

Our group has been hard at work to release a new tool: The Data Rescue Tracker. The tool aims to provide a consolidated overview of who is downloading which dataset from which government websites. Please share! www.datarescueproject.org/data-rescue-...

Highly recommend checking out {autoimport} by @danchaltiel.bsky.social for easing your roxygen tag workload when developing packages! #rstats #opensource #packagedevelopment github.com/DanChaltiel/...

legendry's such a win for #rstats and #ggplot2

Today I'm celebrating the 200th github ⭐ for legendry after talking about it yesterday to the ggplot2 extension group! teunbrand.github.io/legendry/

Mapping variable values to glyphs! w ggplot2 extension ggswim! 🤯 ``` library(ggswim) ... geom_swim_marker(aes(marker = status)) + scale_marker_discrete( glyphs = c("⚠️", "❌", "✅"), limits = c("Alert", "No", "Yes") ) ```

Underrated MVP package.

Hi folks! I know it is the weekend, but I'd like to quickly announance an update to {legendry} version 0.2.0: teunbrand.github.io/teunbrand_bl... #rstats #ggplot2

📢 REDCapTidieR v1.2.1 is out on CRAN ✨ This release adds factor levels to longitudinal event names and fixes a bug where read_redcap() was prone to failure for projects where the record ID was a stand alone instrument. #rstats #REDCap #DataScience chop-cgtinformatics.github.io/REDCapTidieR/

📦 usethis 3.1.0 📦 is released. `use_vignette()` and `use_article()` can now help you initiate a Quarto (.qmd) vignette or article. #rstats usethis.r-lib.org/news/index.h...

As a flat footed asthmatic, this warrants a “hell yeah”.

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say

Big {ggswim} update: you can now add your favorite (free) FontAwesome and Bootstrap icons to your plots! Check out the pkgdown site to learn more! #dataBS #rstats #dataviz chop-cgtinformatics.github.io/ggswim/

`rm -rf` ❌ • remove rf??? what does that even mean???? (nothing) • boring • hard to remember `rm -fr` ✅ • remove forreal 💅🏼💅🏼 • makes u smile every time • will never forget

This post from @cararthompson.bsky.social is a wonderful compilation of tips for device rendering and font management in R. Wish I had stumbled upon it a while ago! #rstats #dataBS www.cararthompson.com/posts/2024-0...

Here are UK & US BlueSky numbers separately, to show what’s driving the trends: • Aug 3rd: Musk says ‘civil war is inevitable’ in UK during far right riots • Oct 17th: Musk changes the block function on X, prompting a massive exodus • Nov 7th: thousands more migrate in aftermath of Trump victory

Thread I’ll update with any good data starter packs or lists I come across. Let’s find each other and make this fun and interesting!

A common question I've seen from #data folks using Quarto is how to gate content or protect a site behind a login Just wrote a short tech note on my blog about my recent experience using Netlify Identity for this www.emilyriederer.com/post/quarto-...

This is quietly one of the more worrying/bearish things I've read about generative AI. They're running out of data. They're getting more expensive but not much better and not really anymore powerful. It's like I warned you!

🤣🤣🤣

The hardest thing to accept is the cruelty. People saw what it was. And they voted for it anyway tinyurl.com/5bud875t

Anyone have experience getting FontAwesome to play nicely with innate ggplot2? I know there’s some ways with ggtext HTML but curious if there’s a way to integrate the package {fontawesome}

{ggswim} is a {ggplot2} extension package with the goal of making swimmer plots easy to create. I would love to hear feedback and other opinions on the state of it, how it can be made better, or what steps should be taken for a CRAN v0.1 release. #dataBS #rstats #ggplot2 github.com/CHOP-CGTInfo...

🎉 REDCapTidieR 1.2.0 was released last week with a slew of new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements. 📖 Read more about the update on our quarto page: chop-cgtinformatics.github.io/CGTInformati... #rstats #packagedev #REDCap #datascience

Regex can be scary 👻🎃, but it doesn’t have to be! Enjoy this updated version of the ”Ultimate Cheatsheet for Regex in R” to make regex less spooky 👇🏻💀 For #rstats and other languages like #python #julia and #javascript
