🎉 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

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

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...

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
