I've recently started compiling a list of data science related resources that I use or recommend frequently! 📊 Link: nrennie.rbind.io/data-science... #RStats #Python #DataViz #DataScience

My first #TidyTuesday contribution in ~2 years courtesy of an extra-long layover during conference travel! Last week's data focused on US gas prices reported weekly from 1990 to 2025. I had fun playing with the {ggtext} package to customize the title and axis labels! github.com/cmwhite4/tid...

Here is my checklist summarising a small set of some of the simplest tasks you can do that have high potential to improve the reproducibility of your analysis code. This is based on my year of reproducibility reviews for the J. of Archaeological Science: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lHjN_6yUM... 🧪🏺

It's bonkers that in academic science we spend hours obsessing over the wording of a paper, but often only one person has seen the code that produced the results! 2/N

As a faculty member, I think I knew from afar what good people IES had. But over the past two years, I have gotten to work alongside so many of those who were just let go. I have learned so much from these friends and colleagues, and I am just dumbstruck at the scale of this loss for our country.

📊✨ Data Visualization for Educational Data Science ✨📊 At University of Oregon, this course covers data viz principles, design, color theory & communication — all using R! 🔗 Course: buff.ly/YcX7p81 More R resources 👉 buff.ly/tTCN5MD #RStats #DataViz #EdDataSci 🚀

"In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects [Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity, and DEI ] because they no longer meet 'agency priorities'..." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I am so excited to be serving as one of the guest editors for this special series, and am happy to chat with anyone that might have questions about submitting!

So grateful Crystal joined our POWER Data Management Hub today to talk about common concerns around Qualitative Data Sharing, and also provide us with tips for how researchers can still successfully and securely share this type of data! Slides here: osf.io/4frpn

Catching up on last week's #TidyTuesday with a simple Voronoi diagram of which health-related CDC datasets have been backed up to archive.org 📊 Code: github.com/nrennie/tidy... #RStats #DataViz #ggplot2

I really liked this idea of using a histogram as a legend in a choropleth map (since land isn't unemployed; people are), so I made a little guide to doing it with #rstats, {ggplot2}, and {patchwork} www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...

I was on an IES 305A review panel this year and got this today following up on the cancellation of panels last week. I’m taking this to mean panels will not be rescheduled at all and that 305A awards likely won’t be made. I reviewed some critically important proposals. This is truly awful.

New RiSE publication alert! riseopenjournal.org/article/id/2...

If you or someone you know has had a particular research project suspended by recent actions at IES, please get in touch either by DM or by replying here. There are journalists who'd like to report on this.

Here's why your education friends had a real rough one today. It's... it's the entire education data collection apparatus of the United States. www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

Really liking the new IES website. The data sharing and management plan information is so much more accessible and user-friendly to read through now. ies.ed.gov/about/public...

Public data sharing is becoming more commonly required from agencies that support our research. Yet, there are many decisions that need to be considered before you can share data collected from your research study. Here is a list of resources that can help you with this decision making process!

I have written a book on data mgmt, given trainings on the topic, and worked in data mgmt for 12 years. But, I still get lazy with file naming, fall behind on documentation, and make mistakes in my coding. Just remember, we're not robots. The point is not to be perfect, it's to keep doing better.

Check out the guidelines and fantastic resources for sharing data from @cmwhite.bsky.social and colleagues in the first article published RiSE! riseopenjournal.org/article/id/2... Like all articles in the journal, it is freely accessible to everyone!

We’ve launched! Check out Research in Special Education (RiSE), a journal where all publications are open to everyone at no cost to authors! Journal: riseopenjournal.org Press release: tinyurl.com/3cmufchb

We're super excited to launch Research in Special Education (RiSE), the first diamond/platinum open-access journal devoted to research in special education and related fields (all articles freely available at not cost to authors!). Check out the thread and follow us on Bluesky!
