Hey #rstats friends! 👋 Only one week to go until my "Introduction to R Packages" tutorial at #WOMBAT2025! This is a gentle introduction to making R packages, going from initial code to `devtools::check()` Still plenty of spots available :) Sign up at: wombat2025.numbat.space

The Department of Statistics at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln is under threat of closure, with tenured faculty facing dismissal. This is a small but globally impactful department. Please consider writing a letter of support. Your voice could make a real difference.

At any rate, if you know of any good stats departments that are looking for someone with a new #NSF #CAREER award starting Oct 1, let me know. I do #datavis and #forensics research and teach #statcomputing with #rstats and #python. I have a 2-body problem but open to many different locations anyways

The problem is that the study has no ability to tell whether using a smartphone on the toilet increases the risk of hemorrhoids, or having hemorrhoids increases the chance that you’ll use a smartphone on the toilet, or that something else affects both things. www.rnz.co.nz/life/wellbei...

Not an open challenge, but in our visualization course we had the “ugliest chart” contest. The students really enjoyed it 🤭😁. Here some contest’s plots: 2020: diplodatosunab.github.io/visualizacio... 2021: diplodatosunab.github.io/visualizacio... 2022: diplodatosunab.github.io/visualizacio...

Day 1 at #useR2025 was a blast! It's awesome meeting new #rstats users and catching up with familiar faces.
