🎉 This week's RWeekly issue, curated by @batoolmm.bsky.social , includes the following highlights: ➡️ Interactive Pivot Tables and Charts from R (Eli Eydlin) ➡️ Orchestrate multiple LLM agents into coordinated workflows (Arnold Kakas) rweekly.org/2026-W16.html #RStats #newsletter #reading #learning

For today's #30DayChartChallenge, I used the {marimekko} package 📦. Day 0️⃣3️⃣ | Comparisons | Mosaic Code available here: github.com/KittJonathan... #RStats #tidyverse #code #datavis

I'm both excited and a little terrified. It feels like a wave of AI-assisted tool rewrites is coming to bioinformatics whether we like it or not. We figured that the best we can do is to try to get ahead of it, so we wrote down some principles for doing it responsibly: rewrites.bio

Second day of the 2026 #30DayChartChallenge, tried the {ggpop} package. Day 0️⃣2️⃣ | Comparisons | Pictogram Code available here : github.com/KittJonathan... #RStats #tidyverse #code #datavis

The 2026 #30DayChartChallenge kicks off today! For this year's challenge, I'll use the Palmer Penguins dataset as often as possible. Day 0️⃣1️⃣ | Comparisons | Part-to-whole Code available here : github.com/KittJonathan... #RStats #tidyverse #code #datavis

The latest RWeekly issue is out! This week's highlights include @ivelasq3.bsky.social 's @rladiesrome.bsky.social tutorial showing the new features in {dplyr} v1.2.0, and @tylermw.com 's post on Atmospheric Simulation in #RStats. rweekly.org/2026-W13.html

Excited to share this preprint that describes my latest work on using GPUs to accelerate processing of RNA-seq data. The title says it all: "RNA-seq analysis in seconds using GPUs" now on biorxiv www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... and github github.com/pachterlab/k... Figure 1 shows they key result

I've just made live the updated website that accompanies my R book (www.discovr.rocks) - it's mostly finished: almost all of the chapter solutions/task solutions are done, data are live, updated info about the `discovr` package of interactive tutorials, and it's had a face lift.

rix, my package that leverages #Nix to provide reproducible data science environments for #RStats (and #python and #julia) is in the top 10 starred ropensci packages! that’s pretty cool

The recordings from Shiny in Production 2025 are now available. Talks from speakers around the world on how they use Shiny in R and Python to solve real-world data problems. Watch the sessions: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Just received Josh Starmer's latest book. Great way to dig deeper into some of his videos' concepts! #Stats

#rstats filter_out is good

Last week we released dplyr 1.2.0, but we left off something VERY important 🙂 `dplyr::if_else()` and `dplyr::case_when()` are now up to 30x faster and use 10x less memory! We dive into how we achieved these numbers in this new #rstats post! tidyverse.org/blog/2026/02...

#rstats I've given a workshop a few days ago on handling large data (think tens to hundreds of millions of rows) with Polars in Python and in R. Here are my introductory slides: brussels-large-data-r-python.etiennebacher.com And the associated repo: github.com/etiennebache...

Just started reading the course materials from @physaliacourses.bsky.social on Genomic data (github.com/loukesio/dat...) by @bioinformatician.bsky.social, and already learned a couple valuable #tidyverse tricks! - how to use "names_pattern" in pivot_longer() - change labels using labeller() #RStats

First #tidytuesday for 2026! Decided to re-create my #github contributions heatmap for 2025. Code available here: github.com/KittJonathan... #Rstats #datavis #code

Wrote up a little intervention post/explanation for my class about why using LLMs for trying to learn programming (as first time learners!) is bad and detrimental datavizf25.classes.andrewheiss.com/news/2025-11...

I'm in the middle of preparing slides for an "Introduction to R" course. Thought I'd use a figure to explain element recycling in vectorized operations. #RStats #course #learn

I'm exited to announce a new resource about making slides with quarto and revealjs. This book is the combination of all the work I have done in this area, reordered and polished up There isn't a lot of new information yet, but this format allows me to add more easily slidecrafting-book.com #quarto

Insighful article by @nrennie.bsky.social, still thinking about switching from RStudio to Positron. I'd be happy to have your thoughts about Positron! I'm currently coding mostly in #RStats, but I've been using more #Python lately. #RStudio #Positron #IDE #coding

Wow ... I'd never come across this use of with(), which allows combining the pipe and computing a correlation coefficient. Thanks to @mansthulin.bsky.social for explaining this in his fantastic book www.modernstatisticswithr.com! #Rstats #code #neverknew

This post by @tanyashapiro.bsky.social reminds me I have to update the datardis package. Maybe a #tidytuesday around this year's #DoctorWho day (late November).

{ralger} #rstats package looks like an absolute game changer in the task of web scraping for people with very occasional need in this rather nerdy task 🤩 Instead of drilling manually through cached HTML, one can use intuitively named functions that just do it ✨ 🔗 feddelegrand7.github.io/ralger/
