Click a button, nothing happens for a second or two, and the app feels broken, even when the browser is working away in the background. That's one of five pre-flight checks in Tim Brock's new post on shipping dashboards that hold up. Check it out: www.jumpingrivers.com/blog/five-pr...

Tonight: North East Data Scientists meetup 🍕 Red Hat's Maciej Misiura & Rob Geada on open source AI guardrails. Sage's Cheyne Ravenscroft on AI agents handing tasks to each other. Pizza from 6PM 📍 TusPark, Newcastle www.meetup.com/newcastle-up... #NEDS #DataScience

Thank you to everyone who joined the Leeds Data Science Meetup this week, and to Shubhangi Goyal for a great session on Context Driven AI Agents, covering context engineering, agent memory, and a live Microsoft Foundry demo. #DataScience #AIAgents

What does it take to build AI agents that reason, remember, and act, not just respond to a single prompt? Tonight's Leeds Data Science Meetup explores this with Shubhangi Goyal, Data & AI Lead. Enablis, Leeds. From 6:00 PM. RSVP here: www.meetup.com/leeds-data-s...

We're hiring an Engineer! Newcastle Upon Tyne, or full remote. You'll deploy and look after data science software (Posit) across AWS, Azure and GCP. Ideally 2+ years in DevOps or infrastructure. Apply: jumping-rivers.welcomekit.co/jobs/enginee... #Hiring #DevOps

We have managed Posit platforms since 2018, so your team doesn't have to. Connect, Workbench and Package Manager, set up properly, kept secure, patched and fully supported. More time on analysis, less on server maintenance. Talk to us: [email protected]

AI/data meetups next week, come say hi 👋 📍 Leeds Data Sci Meetup, Tue 14 July, Enablis, Leeds www.meetup.com/leeds-data-s... 📍 NE Data Scientists, Thu 16 July, TusPark, Newcastle www.meetup.com/newcastle-up...

What happens to your dashboard after launch? We build dashboards, ML models and the training to run them, then keep them working once they're live. Bespoke builds, custom visualisations, training built around your stack. www.jumpingrivers.com/services/dat...

📊 July meetup: multi-agent AI workflows & open source guardrails for LLMs. North East Data Scientists, Thu 16 July, 6–8pm, TusPark Newcastle. Two talks from Sage & Red Hat. All welcome! 🔗 RSVP: www.meetup.com/newcastle-up... #DataScience #AI #Newcastle

Leeds Data Science July meetup: Tue 14 July, 6-8pm. Shubhangi Goyal on Context driven AI Agents: how they're built, how they use dynamic context, and the pitfalls of deploying them. New venue: Enablis, 1 York Place, LS1 2DR. Free. www.meetup.com/leeds-data-s...

2026 is moving fast for statistical computing in pharma: joint FDA/EMA AI principles, expanded R submission formats, Dataset-JSON replacing legacy XPT. The shift to validated R and Python is happening. The hard part is compliance. That's why we built Coadun. Learn more at: coadun.net

Shiny apps don't come with an audit trail. No record of package versions, no log of user actions. In regulated environments, that gap is a liability. The litmusverse fixes it. Learn more at: jumpingrivers.com/litmus #RStats #Shiny #DataScience #RValidation

Our first ever AI in Production conference has been and gone. Here's what stood out. Full recap: www.jumpingrivers.com/blog/2026-ai...

We built Diffify so you'd never have to manually trawl through package changelogs again. Compare any two versions of an R or Python package and see exactly what changed. Try it out: diffify.com

Two meetups this July! 🗓 Leeds, Tue 14 Jul: context-driven AI agents 🔗 meetup.com/leeds-data-science-meetup/events/314872413 🗓 Newcastle, Thu 16 Jul: open source guardrails for LLMs 🔗 meetup.com/newcastle-upon-tyne-data-science-meetup/events/314875488 See you there!

Last few spots left on our Intro to R (6–7 Jul) and Data Wrangling in the Tidyverse (8–9 Jul) courses. Plus 7 more courses running throughout July. Register today on our website: jumpingrivers.com/training/public

We helped Public Health Scotland scale their Posit infrastructure on Azure, giving 400 data scientists a reliable platform built around how they work. Full case study: jumpingrivers.com/case-studies/public-health-scotland-posit-deployment/

Every year, we take on a handful of projects at no cost. Charities, nonprofits, community orgs — if you're doing important work with data, we'd like to help. Apply: jumpingrivers.com/pro-bono/

Looking to upskill in AI and machine learning? We offer training from ML fundamentals to LLMs and MLOps, in R and Python, online and onsite. jumpingrivers.com/training

Final day at PSI 2026. The conversations around open source, AI in clinical development, and statistical computing have been great. Colin and Pedro delivered their talks yesterday. Find them at booth 15 if you want to keep the conversation going. #PSI2026 #RStats #Pharma #Litmus

Take an R package with 500 functions. Your team uses about 5. Most validation tools make you check all 500, every time. Litmus changes that. Validate only what you use. jumpingrivers.com/litmus/

We're at PSI in Belfast! Find us at booth 15. Colin and Pedro are happy to talk open source, R package validation, SCE, or AI in regulated environments. Come say hi 👋 #PSI2025 #RStats #Pharma

Introducing Coadun, a partnership between Jumping Rivers and Achieve Intelligence. A structured transformation service helping life science organisations unify SAS, R, and Python into a governed SCE. youtu.be/TVjnwU86DvI?...

Committed to the wrong git branch? Tim built a Bash function for that with Claude's help, plus a handy image listing tool. A practical look at what LLM collaboration actually looks like in practice. 👉 www.jumpingrivers.com/blog/ghost-i...

We'll be at PSI 2026 in Belfast next week. Colin on CRAN package suitability for pharma, Pedro on Shiny validation with the Litmusverse. Going to be there? Catch their talks or swing by the booth. #PSI2026 #RStats
