Last night, our very own @samcsik.bsky.social led a fantastic workshop on how to make & customize personal websites with #quarto! 🎉 We learned to: ✨ make a Quarto site & deploy it using GitHub Pages (for free! in just a few short steps!) ✨ customize fonts & theme colors with Sass ✨ add a blog

We listened. We reflected. We evolved. Meet RLadies+. A more inclusive identity for our global community. Because belonging matters. 🔗 Read more about the rebrand: rladies.org/news/2026/re...

👇 Calling all RStudio users who now [also] use Positron 👇 I’m making a Positron tutorial for my @emlab.ucsb.edu colleagues, who primarily use RStudio - what should I include to ease the transition? I'd love to hear your tips, fave resources/tutorials, or how shifting to a new IDE went for you!

This past fall, our R-Ladies SB community came together to brainstorm ways for keeping up to date with the ever-evolving landscape of R & data science tools. We published a blog post on our conversations and recommendations, and @dferraro.bsky.social neatly summarizes them here!

Follow along with our co-organizer, @dferraro.bsky.social, as she takes over as featured curator of @weare.rladies.org this week!

✨ Did you know ✨ we have a YouTube channel? 📺 www.youtube.com/@RLadiesSantaBarbara You can find recordings of our past events, including last month's Earth System Models workshop!

dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited! - `filter_out()` for dropping rows - `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats! tidyverse.org/blog/2026/02...

Hello, friends! Our first event of 2026 is live 🤗 We're hosting a virtual workshop on wrangling Earth System Models in R, taught by @jessicabolin.bsky.social & Nerea Lezama Ochoa. Details and RSVP on Meetup — hope to see you there! 🌊 📈

📣 Data scientists, analysts, folks who write code: we want to hear from you! 📣 We're brainstorming resources on how to keep up with the ever-evolving R ecosystem. ✨ What strategies do you use to keep code/software up to date? 🌱 How do you find out what's new in R/your fave lang? Let us know! ⬇️
