My keynote about data science tools at posit::conf is now online! I originally meant it to be a talk about Positron, but as I was writing it, it took a left turn through the history of RStudio and into the philosophy of tool design & how to build stuff for people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGre...

We are looking for #rstats community feedback on 3 new dplyr functions! We're aiming to expand the `filter()` family: - `filter()` to keep rows - `filter_out()` to drop rows - `when_any()` and `when_all()` as modifiers Read more and leave feedback here: github.com/tidyverse/ti...

I gave the closing keynote at posit::conf in September and it's available to watch. When you find yourself giving a talk with a little tiny microphone stuck to the side of your head you have to ask yourself some hard questions, but the talk was partly about that. youtu.be/ZamPCbvBAgE

If you're following the #UNL #statistics saga (proposed for elimination based on bad stats), you might find the seminar we gave yesterday interesting... youtu.be/fUk2R0UYWpA It was weird to rail against someone for an hour, but strangely cathartic, and the #datavis seems to have been effective?

🌈 The website for the inaugural rainbowR conference is now live! 🎉 🗓️ Save the date: Feb 25th-26th, 2026 📣 Call for submissions is open 👯 We're bringing together LGBTQ+ R users to promote our work and foster connections among community members conference.rainbowr.org

Hopefully, today the #statistics department finds out what the acad prog cmte will recommend to the chancellor. The next step is the #nebraskaRegents. We have a letter-writing campaign to show this set of cuts is politically unpopular and will hurt the state. actionnetwork.org/letters/one-... 1/2

I just got this email from ChatGPT. Is anyone really worried that people are holding off until they have "a plan or the perfect question" to use these tools?! Or was this reaction-bait that I fell for?

Next week! I am giving a webinar on "Automating Repetitive Reports with Quarto" as part of the 2025 MAPOR Fall Webinar Series! Save serious time and eliminate errors by letting Quarto do the heavy lifting 🏋️ I would love to see you there 💚💛💙 www.mapor.org/2025-mapor-f...

These companies must be using the same crazy survey provider. What is this?!

What is it @github.com @githubeducation.bsky.social? Am I faculty or am I not faculty? Why do you keep asking me the same question, after saying you won't ask for 2 years, and then not believing my answer?

This week’s #RLadies curator is @ivelasq3.bsky.social!

Do you like cleaning data? According to @rdpeng.org, it was a big part of a data scientist's job 10 years ago, and he misses it! On the latest Test Set, Roger discusses changes in the field and what to focus on now that AI is taking over rote tasks. Listen: thetestset.co, Spotify, Apple Podcasts

Tidying and sorting pictures, I've found this one: The Latinx at #useR2025

Love my useR! 2025 👩🏻‍💻Thanks to @jayanigamage.bsky.social #rstats #user2025

Just finished at #useR2025 and had a great time! Especially because I had an opportunity to present ggdibbler. The slides from my talk are available here: harriet-mason.github.io/talk_useR-20... (Although they are a bit confusing out of context)

Huge 👏👏👏 to @calpolyslo.bsky.social WunderKind @visruth.com for his #useR2025 talk on {flourish}! 🌟{flourish} is a Quarto extension for adding highlighting to source code chunks - the successor to {flair} in Rmd. 🔗 V's slides: visruth.com/flourish-talk 🔗 Github: github.com/kbodwin/flourish

@rundel.bsky.social gave us insights into using both {parsermd} (well established, tested) and {markermd} (newer and used some vibe coding) that makes extracting info the actual documents of quarto/rmarkdown files *very easy* (extremely useful for teaching/grading/checking) 🤩 check it out! #useR2025

Wrapped up #useR2025 👩‍💻 Feeling inspired to explore Positro and dive into tools like Air, chores, hexsession, arrow, and sparsvctrs. Also made a tile of my R package collection with hexsession 📦✨. Thanks to everyone who made this event such a great learning experience 🙌 #rstats #RCommunity

Now Will Landau is presenting his Keynote at #useR2025 about targets and pipelines in #RStats

So happy to talk about our work on sparsity at #useR2025 today! Slides for anyone interested emilhvitfeldt.com/talk/2025-08...

Final day of #useR2025 started with an incredible keynote by Frauke Kreuter followed by a rich Q&A, more awesome talks before and after lunch, and we're soon going to be wrapping the whole thing up with what I'm sure will be yet another must-see keynote, by Will Landau. #rstats

I had a blast at #useR2025. Here are my slides on `tinyplot`. grantmcdermott.com/tinyplot/vig... (Rendering of the title slide is a bit off on mobile. I'll fix when when I get sec.)

If you've been curious about Air and you're at #useR2025, come watch @lionelhenry.bsky.social and me talk all about it at 1pm in Penn 2!

What a great kickoff to #useR2025! A keynote by @hadley.nz, a poster session, and an #R-Ladies+ reception. Great job by the organizers here at Duke.

Poster Session at @user-conf.bsky.social #rstats #user2025

is happy to be at #useR2025. So far, I ran into 3 colleagues from various ventures, and learned * how to underline text in Quarto markdown * that a `countdown` can end with a sound effect (in addition to a couple of great workshops about tidyomics and srvyr)

Finally, I could not love this more: "How can we decide where to invest our limited time and energy?" "Find something you love to do. It shouldn't feel heavy. Then look for new things you can LEARN or new things you can TEACH." - @yabellini.bsky.social #user2025 🙌🥰

🎤 Excited to share that I presented at useR! 2025 in Durham, NC! 🇺🇸 Gave a talk on cardinalR: Generating interesting high-dimensional data structures 🎤 📽️ jayani-user2025.netlify.app #useR2025 #RStats #DataScience #HighDimensionalData #Visualization #RPackage

Excited for @davisvaughan.bsky.social & my talk tomorrow in which we will demo a shiny app we ✨ vibe coded ✨ up today, if you're at #user2025 stop by Gross at 10:30a tomorrow. Sneak peak 👇

Come watch the most unhinged talk of a lifetime! ✨good vibes only ✨ at #useR2025

Causal inference and ML is really cool. The workshop at #useR2025 was packed with so many new concepts for me. Hope to dig more soon. #rstats

Today I had the pleasure of presenting our R and Quarto-based reproducible analysis pipeline for a large multicenter RCT at #useR2025. The Clinical Trials session was a wonderful platform for exchange and inspiration. Thanks to all attendees and organizers who made this great conference happen!

With support 🙌 from Natalia Andriychuk and Shannon Pileggi @pipinghotdata.com , I managed to calm down and deliver my presentation 👨🏻‍🏫. The experience was better than expected 😌.

My day 1 #useR2025 highlight was the Positron class, I’m officially a convert now. 🤓 Why? 🐇 Positron is fast! ⌨️ RStudio keybindings 🎨 Command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) to find any IDE feature 🏡 Remote-SSH runs code on my home server, anywhere! 🤖 The Positron Assistant integration is seamless #rstats

I saw the hex wall, but they also brought back socks from useR in Australia! 🤩 #useR2025

I've been excited for @yabellini.bsky.social's #user2025 Keynote since it was announced!!! Title slide does not disappoint. 🥰

Hi #rstats friends, I'll be at #user2025! 👋 Find me for hex stickers :)

The #JSM2025 roasts getting a reprise at @hadley.nz’s #user2025 keynote 😂

This morning at #useR2025, some nice insights from Simon Urbanek about the ways #rstats is optimized for different goals than a general-purpose programming language. Always a special treat to hear from R Core members! 🥰 Some of my favorite takeaways... 🧵

Welp, {chores} by @simonpcouch.com is an immediate install for sure. Basically it's {usethis} plus llm bundled into RStudio/Positron key encoding. Excited!!! 🧹🧺 #useR2025 #rstats #couchverse?

Day 1 at #useR2025 was a blast! It's awesome meeting new #rstats users and catching up with familiar faces. I was amazed to see the hex-sticker map of North Carolina, made with code I wrote for useR! 2018 in Australia. See how maps like this are made in R here: mitchelloharawild.com/blog/user-20...

In the frenzy of exciting #useR2025 talks, I forgot to mention that I also gave my talk. 😆 "Adding models to {tidyclust}", slides here: kbodwin.github.io/Talks-and-Pr... PC: @healthandstats.bsky.social

Still smiling after my keynote abt Community at #useR2025 💜 Huge thanks to the organizing team for the invite, and to everyone who joined, asked questions, and shared their thoughts — you made it truly special! Slides docs.google.com/presentation... Video: www.youtube.com/live/CTTvTQ-... #rstats

Yesterday we kicked off #useR2025 with eight fantastic tutorials, a poster session, and Hadley Wickham's keynote, which you can watch at www.youtube.com/live/ctc2kx3... #rstats
