Curious about the types of projects that the @rconsortium.bsky.social funds with our grant programs? Register for this one and look at the work done to build new/updated packages for integrating topological data analysis into your R workflows. #rstats

Transcriptomics series: R Stats/ Differential Expression Analysis with Aishwarya Mandava + R-Ladies Aurora! Learn the basics of transcriptomics starting from count data and explore essential statistical methods using R. 📅 September 23, 2025 6pm MT 🔗 www.meetup.com/rladies-auro... #RLadies #RStats

Oh, heyy, quite a range! I wonder how many of you remember when `stringasFactors` defaulted to `TRUE`? 😁 This was a huge change back in the day (2020)! blog.r-project.org/2020/02/16/s...

Lunchtime (for me) poll: I've been using #RStats for over 10 years now 😱 How long have you been using R? 1️⃣ Less than 1 year 2️⃣ 1–3 years 3️⃣ 4–6 years 4️⃣ 7+ years 📊 Show results

Ever run `filter()` and wonder which one #RStats is actually using, dplyr or stats? The {conflicted} package makes it crystal clear by forcing you to choose. No more accidental surprises. 🖇️ conflicted.r-lib.org 📋 www.tidyverse.org/blog/2018/06...

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Isabella @ivelasq3.bsky.social, formerly a data analyst, now at @posit.co, and your curator this week! There’s always something new in #RStats. I'll be sharing: ✨ Favorite R packages + workflows ✨ News + tools you might have missed ✨ #PositConf2025 recaps ✨ A decade of R memes 🎉

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

Fun viz by Wondimu Ahmed www.linkedin.com/in/wondimuah... from this week's #tidytuesday data. #r

If you missed the Cascadia R Conference 2025 in June, you can still watch David Keyes' @davidkeyes.bsky.social keynote, "25 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do with R." It's got info on working with PDFs, Qualtrics, automation, prompt engineering, and more! #R rfortherestofus.com/2025/06/twen...

Learn how to build your own R package!

🚨IT IS TODAY!🚨 Join us in this workshop on how to write and document functions for R package development! Register here: www.meetup.com/rladies-colo...

Highlighting this fun chart by @nrennie.bsky.social using Billboard Top 100 data from #tidytuesday this week. I agree with her that it is hard to read (so not something for a customer, but perfect for learning and exploring techniques), but I also 100% LOVE that it was fun for her to make :)

Looking for a local #rladies chapter? We're in 57 countries :) r-community.github.io/user-groups/...

Today's #TidyTuesday data is from the Billboard Hot 100 Number Ones Database, curated by #rladies own @jenrichmondphd.bsky.social! Never done TidyTuesday? Check out this week's data and give it a go: github.com/rfordatascie...

If you have R students learning to clean data, the truffle package by Ian Hussey ( @ianhussey.mmmdata.io ) might be for you. Plus the icon is a cute pig 🐷 Thanks, Nur Shahir, for the tip! www.linkedin.com/in/nmshahir/ github.com/ianhussey/tr... #rladies

Are you like me and struggle to choose colors for your charts? I recently found the colorspace package, and it's a total game-changer. cran.r-project.org/web/packages... Load the package, run 'pal<-choose_palette()' and a GUI shows you color combos! Check out my example with #TidyTuesday data:

Hello, all! My name is Morgana, and I am so honored to be this week's curator for the #rladies account here on Bluesky! I have been an R user since 2017, and while I now dabble in Python, in my heart of hearts I'll always be an R girl :) I'll my best to make it an interesting week, and thank you!

This week’s #RLadies curator is @morgana-kinlan.bsky.social 🎉

THANK you so much for all your likes and shares this week. It has been super fun! I would love to connect with people who doing cool things in data, PLEASE follow me at @jenrichmondphd.bsky.social Check out my website jenrichmond.github.io and Linkedin www.linkedin.com/in/jenrichmo...

I love humans. Like, a lot. I love connection. I deeply dislike AI-generated LinkedIn messages. They do the opposite of their intention, they make me actively disconnect from the person. They just generally make me sad 😢

If you want to enjoy my #useR2025 post-spamming of last week's #rstats stuff, but a bit more organized and consolidated, then boy do I have a blog post for you: kbodwin.github.io/paRticles/po...

Oh wow, I didn't really know there was an anti-comments camp. I tell students that comments are a gift to your future self. Future you is unlikely to remember writing this code let alone what it was trying to do. In the age of GenAI, learning to write useful comments = learning to code.

ATTENTION #rladies #rstats - @jonthegeek.com NEEDS HELP!! Awesome community initiatives like #TidyTuesday don't just happen and many hands make light work. There are functions in the `tidytuesdayR` package make it easy to curate a dataset jenrichmond.github.io/tidytuesday/...

LLMs are changing SO fast, and it is hard to keep up. Resource lists like this are super useful- thanks @ivelasq3.bsky.social

I am SUPER excited to be presenting at WOMBAT (Workshop Organised by Monash Business Analytics Team) in a few weeks. I am going to talk about GenAI and learning. wombat2025.numbat.space/program/work...

The `naniar` package contains all kinds of useful functions for dealing with missing data, but why the name? Developer Nick Tierney thinks of missing data a bit like another dimension- like the world created by C.S Lewis in the Narnia books.

I needed this today, thanks @libbyheeren.bsky.social #rladies

Join us to learn how to identify 🕵️ the forbidden words 🙄 before you submit your government grants 💜

My #TidyTuesday Week 32: Extreme Weather Attribution studies. thanks for curating @rajodm.bsky.social !!

How do you work out what you want the second half of your career to look like when you decide to make a change? A few months ago James Clear (aka Atomic Habits guy) included this question in his newsletter. What would you choose?

#rstats is there a good color scale that works when you want to map a larger number of points (like 15)? everything from ggthemes or hrbrthemes() seems to max out at like 5-6 but I'd rather not go with the default.

Meghan @meghansharris.bsky.social is the git queen. I LOVED her positconf talk last year. Slides: meghansaha.github.io/please_let_m... Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2qd...

Join me in 45 min!!!

Running R code on your phone... that is definitely magic!! webR also makes it super easy to create #rstats learning resources that students can work with using just a browser, no install drama needed. jen-richmond.quarto.pub/barbarplots/

Let’s talk about career change. I loved listening to @minecr.bsky.social on The Test Set this week. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m... She intially trained as an actuary, determined that she didn’t love that, and decided to do a PhD in statistics.

There are a handful of R packages that get loaded EVERY TIME I am starting a new analysis and `janitor` is one of them. There are functions in `janitor` that make it super easy to fix variable names, get rid of empty columns (or rows) and count things.

Excited to share my newest quarto revealjs plugin: imagemover Easily reposition and resize images directly in your quarto revealjs slides for a much smoother slidecrafting experience github.com/EmilHvitfeld... #quarto

Massive thanks to @kellybodwin.com for these amazing tidyverse gauges!

woah this is magic! getting the blue bars below the x axis without those scores being negative... that is some wizardy. Well done @rodrigo404.bsky.social !
