I wrote out the whole exhausting narrative of what's happened at UNL over the past 2.5 months, including the videos, the memes, and a fair bit of snark. srvanderplas.github.io/posts/other/... The Board of Regents decides our fate in 2 days.

HEY! YOU! ggdibbler 0.6.1 is finally up on CRAN! harriet-mason.github.io/ggdibbler/in... You can now pass random variables to any aesthetic in any ggplot geom/stat. If you can express it as a distribution, ggdibbler can plot it. It also works with ggplot extensions, like gganimate. #rstats

If you're following the #UNL #statistics saga (proposed for elimination based on bad stats), you might find the seminar we gave yesterday interesting... youtu.be/fUk2R0UYWpA It was weird to rail against someone for an hour, but strangely cathartic, and the #datavis seems to have been effective?

❗️Our next workshop will be on Nov 13 6 pm CET titled Building & Customising Stat Models with Stan and R: Introduction to Bayesian Inference by @mlisi.bsky.social Register or sponsor a student by donating to support Ukraine! Details: bit.ly/3wBeY4S Please share! #AcademicSky #EconSky #RStats

If you're not 100% confident you can make it to her tutorial on visualising uncertainty, no doubt you won't want to miss Harriet Mason's talk on the ggdibbler package. More info and registration link here: wombat2025.numbat.space/program/work... #DataViz #RStats #Python #DataScience

Wrapped up #useR2025 👩‍💻 Feeling inspired to explore Positro and dive into tools like Air, chores, hexsession, arrow, and sparsvctrs. Also made a tile of my R package collection with hexsession 📦✨. Thanks to everyone who made this event such a great learning experience 🙌 #rstats #RCommunity

Just finished at #useR2025 and had a great time! Especially because I had an opportunity to present ggdibbler. The slides from my talk are available here: harriet-mason.github.io/talk_useR-20... (Although they are a bit confusing out of context)
