There's a few rules I've adopted for data analysis this year that have helped me out a lot.

If you have R students learning to clean data, the truffle package by Ian Hussey ( @ianhussey.mmmdata.io ) might be for you. Plus the icon is a cute pig 🐷 Thanks, Nur Shahir, for the tip! www.linkedin.com/in/nmshahir/ github.com/ianhussey/tr... #rladies

This week’s #RLadies curator is @ivelasq3.bsky.social!

🌱 Practical {renv} 💬 Shannon Pileggi @pipinghotdata.com 🖇️ github.com/shannonpileg... Maybe you're interested in trying {renv} for creating reproducible environments for your R projects. Maybe you've tried and it hasn't stuck. Shannon's talk digs deep into how it works so it's easier to implement.

👶 Birthing the pregnancy package 💬 Ella Kaye @ellakaye.co.uk 🖇️ ellakaye.github.io/pregnancy-li... Ella talks about creating an intuitive, practical package for tracking pregnancies.

Ever run `install.packages()` and wish it were faster, smarter, and more reliable? The {pak} package speeds things up with parallel downloads, dependency solving, and reproducible installs. 📦 pak.r-lib.org #RStats

✨ I finally compiled my Christmas gift selector into a full Shiny app I can reuse every year 🎁❤️ It helps me organise gift ideas, track spending & countdown to the big day! 😊 🛍️ Try it: lucy-njokinjuki.shinyapps.io/Xmas_Shopping/ Built with love, lists & R magic 💻🎅 #RStats #ShinyApp #GiftPlanner

Ever need to count the number of characters in a variable (sometimes based on a pattern)? The #rstats {stringr} package is great for that. ✨ cghlewis.github.io/data-wrangli...

This is how you can generate donut charts in #tidyplots 🍩 #rstats #dataviz #phd

🧵Hi #RLadies and R friends! Have you built a package? I started writing my own functions when I noticed I was copying the same code over and over. Eventually, I wrapped some of them into a package — just for myself. Now I’m learning how to turn my code into tools others can actually use. 📦💜

Today I’ll be sharing some of my favorite Quarto learning resources 💻✨ Most of what I know, I learned thanks to the amazing work of others. So this thread is a small tribute to open educational content and the people behind it. Let’s go! 👇 #QuartoPub #RLadies #RStats

If you are into research, coding, or RSE communities, then don’t miss RSECon25, the conference for Research Software Engineering! 🌐 rsecon25.society-rse.org And if you're new to RSE and a Spanish speaker, check out Charlas RSE: 🔗 github.com/charlas-rse-... #rse #rstats

🧵 Do you have R packages that make your workflow smoother or help you avoid problems you used to face all the time? I’ve collected a few that solved issues that used to trip me up 👇

Step 1: Write R code Step 2: Share it Step 3: Spend 2 hours helping someone install R and troubleshoot their environment OR Step 1: Write R code Step 2: webR sharelink webr.r-wasm.org/latest/?mode... Step 3: Profit ✨ #rstats #webr

{tinyplot} 0.3.0 is out! 🚨 It's a lightweight #Rstats 📦 to draw beautiful and complex plots, using an ultra-simple and concise syntax. This is a massive release! @gmcd.bsky.social @zeileis.org and I worked hard to add tons of new themes and plot types. Check it out! grantmcdermott.com/tinyplot/

Data Cleaning for Data Sharing Using R cghlewis.github.io/ncme-data-cl... #rstats

Better late than never to analyze the biggest pink fan in the #tidytuesday dataset! Very colorful week which I appreciated. Used the fun waffle package. #rstats code: github.com/kevbaer/tidy...

Ending the week with a #TidyTuesday plot 🎨 Visualised the top 100 colours from the XKCD colour survey - colour names + hex codes in a swatch view. Made with R and a bit of Patrick Hand font fun. #RStats #DataViz

Came across this beginner-friendly tutorial (from @rladiesmelb.bsky.social) for making a website using Quarto and then deploying it on GitHub: youtu.be/1RZ_TbL9quM?... #rstats

This is how you can use a global style in #tidyplots 0.3.1 🌍 #rstats #dataviz #phd

📦 Learn to build your first R package! @rladiesremote.bsky.social + @R-Forwards.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy are hosting a 5-session series with two kickoff options: 🟣 Cohort 1: June 2–July 28, 9–10:30 AM UTC → bit.ly/4j68m4N 🟣 Cohort 2: June 3–July 29, 2–4:30 PM UTC → bit.ly/42WcvU3 #RStats #RLadies

Sometimes we just need a pep talk.

{ellmer} is the framework that can take your work with large language models to the next level. It's an R package that provides a common interface to popular #LLM APIs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini as well as local models through Ollama. With ellmer, you can:

The new release of RStudio prints errors, warnings and messages in different colours. That's a great improvement! I teach introductory #Rstats a lot, and students *always* think messages are errors. Hopefully this will help.

Love this clever {ggblanket} hack! 👀 #RStats

Note to self from the @dslc.io ggplot2 discussion with @thomasp85.com, check out the following packages: 📦 marquee: marquee.r-lib.org 📦 legendry: teunbrand.github.io/legendry/ind... 📦 scales: scales.r-lib.org/index.html #rstats

With {tidylog}, you see friendly messages like: summarise: now 3 rows and 3 columns, ungrouped filter: removed 2 rows (67%), one row remaining ✨ It’s like having a gentle co-pilot, helping you track what each step is doing — super useful for debugging and learning!

One of the warmest and most empowering communities I’ve found in the R world is @rainbowr.org 💜 ✨ Their mission? To connect, support, and promote LGBTQ+ people in the R community and to spread awareness of LGBTQ+ issues through data-driven activism. 🌈📊 #RStats #RLadies
