Everything works while you're in the workshop. 😎 But the weirdest bugs? They wait until you're alone to show up. 😵‍💫 That’s why all @DataSharp Academy workshops include 4 weeks of unlimited Q&A. Because learning shouldn’t stop when the Zoom call ends. (1/2) 🧵

🎯 I’m always curious how people first got into R. Was it through plotting? Analysing data? A specific package? What was the first thing that made you say, "How cool would it be if I knew some R?" For that, I created a quick poll: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

If you started learning a new language today, you wouldn’t expect to debate politics next week. Yet with R or data analysis, we often expect exactly that – instant fluency, no mistakes allowed. Data skills are a language. They need time, repetition and gentle practice.

Good stuff there!

Still relying on Excel for your data analysis? It’s fine for quick looks. But when you need clarity, reproducibility and scale, you’re working against the tool, not with it. Your future self is asking you to upgrade. 🧵⬇️

Several @cerege.bsky.social @climatecerege.bsky.social colleagues, including @guillaume-leduc.bsky.social, have another new plant-wax #alkanes paper, which is led by the @univ-amu.fr PhD student Mélanie Guardiola: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🧪 ⚒️ 👩‍🔬 With implications for #PaleoSky

The winners of my Free Spot Challenge are in! 🥳 Huge congratulations to everyone who got a free seat for the “R Fundamentals for Data Science” workshop in January. I’m really looking forward to working with you. 🦖

📬 New: Sharp Under Pressure – a monthly newsletter for data learners who want clarity, not chaos, when working with R. If you’ve felt overwhelmed or stuck with your data, this is for you. First issue lands mid-December. Subscribe here: preview.mailerlite.io/forms/187340...

Last couple of days to apply!

Most R scripts look like we’ve been operating with boxing gloves on. 🥊 What if you wrote code like a surgeon instead — small, precise, deliberate changes that actually fix the problem? That’s the mindset behind “Code like a surgeon”. 🧵⬇️

Want a tailored data workshop for your team, institute, event or society members? You can now host a DataSharp Academy workshop: I’ll come to you (online or on-site) to teach practical R and data science skills with your real, messy data.

Tired of feeling like an old dinosaur with tiny arms? Join my workshop to feel like a fresh dino again! 😎🦖 PS: As for the size of your arms, it really doesn't matter. Just bring the keyboard closer. 🧑‍🏫 𝗥 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 📆 January 26-29, 2026. 🎟️ datasharpacademy.com/workshop-rfu...

🎯 Last week to apply for one of 3 free spots in my online R Fundamentals for Data Science workshop (26–29 Jan 2026). If you work with data and want to feel more confident in R, this is for you.

🚨 Free workshop seats 🚨 Data science is everywhere in your work, but no one really showed you how to use it. This January I’m offering a few FREE spots in my online “R Fundamentals to Harness AI” workshop at DataSharp Academy.

Do you keep hearing “AI will do it for you”, but still have no idea where to start? Or already use AI… and waste hours debugging code you don’t really understand? You’re not alone. That’s why I built my R fundamentals workshop.

Hi everyone, I'm dusting off this account to embrace my new role as a data teacher and founder of the DataSharp Academy. With DSA, I aim to help people who work with data move from messy scripts and guesswork to clear, repeatable analyses in R. More info at datasharpacademy.com

We're hiring! I'm recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in climate & paleoclimate modeling of the tropical Americas. Come obsess over the tropical rain belt with me! :) Please share w/folks who may be interested. Ad here: wustl.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...
