“Formatted spreadsheets are like the fossil fuel of the data community. They’ll be around for awhile” - Luis D. Verde Arregoitia at #Positconf2025

Have you seen @cghlewis.bsky.social's newsletter? It's a fantastic resources for anybody working with data.

📣 PSA I've been wanting to say for a while. Not everyone is an expert programmer or coder, and that's okay. People can still do good, reproducible research without using the fanciest methods or the coolest tools. Low tech tools ≠ You can't do good work

📣 Save the date!! Next Community Call: R-multiverse: a new way to publish R packages 📦 🚀 📆 Monday, 29 September 2025 14:00 UTC with Will Landau 👉 Information + find your local time + How to join: https://ropensci.org/commcalls/r-multiverse/ #rstats

Scientific societies should rethink allowing for‑profit publishers at meetings. They may support the meeting in part, but these same publishers charge unsustainable fees year‑round and undercut academic independence. The trade‑off? Researchers lose. peeer.net/2025/08/04/t...

uuuuhhh! the {hexsession} is really neat

If you want to enjoy my #useR2025 post-spamming of last week's #rstats stuff, but a bit more organized and consolidated, then boy do I have a blog post for you: kbodwin.github.io/paRticles/po...
