Our #pizza watch party for the Di Cook Award webinar is about to begin! Register and join us! DM me if you on UNSW Sydney campus and want a slice πŸ• #SSA @visnut.bsky.social

Hey hey! This seminar begins in 1h! Join us! πŸ’œπŸ–€ Adam @adamwang15.bsky.social will present the bsvarSIGNs package with application to Australian monetary policy! #bsvarSIGNs #bsvars #rstats #econsky

If any folks are keen to go to #positconf2025 but resources are limited, I highly recommend applying to be an Opportunity Scholar! Read more about the program here: posit.co/blog/discove...

here are more attendee perspectives from #positconf Clarissa Jade Barratt www.jumpingrivers.com/blog/posit-c... jenrichmond.github.io/posts/2024-1... @fontikar.bsky.social fontikar.github.io/blog/posit_c... @smachlis.bsky.social nextchapter.machlis.com/posts/2024-0...

#Rstats hive mind, would anyone have some advice for me? I am scratching my head over this πŸ₯² TIA forum.posit.co/t/cran-incom...

Come hear from Xiaolei (Adam) Wang, winner of 2024's Di Cook Award about their R package {bsvarSIGNs} #SSA #rstats #StatsSocAus πŸ† πŸ“† When: 12pm AEDT 25 Feb 🎟️ Register: www.statsoc.org.au/event-6018948 🍎 Learn: bsvars.org/bsvarSIGNs/

The collab we all needed: #ESAus2024 X @sortee.bsky.social meet up in Melbourne 🍻 so nice to catch up with like-minded ecologists caring about open, reliable and transparent practices in all our spheres

Introducing ensure, a new #rstats package for LLM-assisted unit testing in RStudio! Select some code, press a shortcut, and then the helper will stream testing code into the corresponding test file that incorporates context from your project. github.com/simonpcouch/...

Embracing new code workflows is hard but @daxkellie.bsky.social has made this easier for ecologists in his talk. Check out his tips on how make your code more reproducible here daxkellie.quarto.pub/will-your-co... #ESAus2024

Come chat with us about AusTraits and other ecology open source software while you wait for your coffee order #ESA2024

Wow! Look at all these new faces! Hi πŸ˜„ I'm Fonti, I am a Biologist at heart, but have been making #Rstats tools for a while now I ❀️ learning new data science things and sharing this with others on Fossodon/Bluesky/my website I'm so happy to see our once-lost communities thrive here on Bluesky 🌱

Grrr I came across someone's clever blog post in my LinkedIn Feed about making an interactive hex sticker image to embed on a website/QMD/RMD, but I've seem to misplace it. #Rstats hive mind, can you help me find it again? πŸ™

Keen to learn how to use large language models like chatGPT using #rstats? Me too πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ πŸ’» My attempt to teach this at my recent LLM workshop: emitanaka.org/workshop-LLM...

How very timely of the #WOMBAT workshop πŸ’œ

I had such a wonderful time at WOMBAT (wombat2024.numbat.space), I managed to lose my voice! I think that is a testament of all the lovely conversations we had about open source tools the past few days! πŸ’œ Thank you @visnut.bsky.social for inviting me to come along!

@annafergusson.bsky.social asked students to draw what they thought data science looks like and I feel so simultaneously sympathetic and attacked by the person who drew Squidward #rstats πŸ“Š

Mind got a little blown at #WOMABT today when Mitch O’Hara-Wild showed us how to break #RStats so we can be better coders

Day 1 of tutorials at #WOMBAT! Dean Marchiori on how to make your R code i to production ready software πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ and Mitch O’Hara-Wild on Advanced R skills 😎

Sooo helpful! Didn’t know where to find my peoples! Thank you @drmowinckels.bsky.social πŸ’œ

The #OceaniaR hackathon was a lot of fun! Lots of cool projects and clever solutions. There were hex stickers/cookies/tables! 
@visnut thanks for hosting us! πŸ’œ 
 We worked on a #data bias problem using data from Australia: github.com/StatSocAus/o... 
Very proud of our group! πŸ’₯

woohoo I'm the new maintainer for the ME-GIS project: github.com/andrewheiss/... with all sorts of GIS shapefiles for Middle Earth! Make your own Tolkien maps with #rstats and other GIS programs! www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2023/04...

Better late than never! I wrote a small little blog about my experience at #PositConf2024 and about how wonderful our community is πŸ’“

A challenging but fun project to work on with an awesome team at the Atlas of Living Australia 🦘

We just got another rendition at the #rainbowR meet up! Ethan is so creative 🀩

Yowzers that was a lot of technical issues! Thank you folks for being so patient πŸ™Come find me if you would like a hexsticker. Have a whale of a time ☺️ #useR2024

useR! 2024 is around the corner! I am so excited for all the neRdy chats πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» I will be presenting a lightning talk on "Why build silly things in R?" πŸ€— ⚑ Amazing full schedule: πŸ“† lnkd.in/gUw9V_kc πŸ“Œ For folks that can't attend in person, there is a free virtual event 2 July lnkd.in/g5GSBMRV

πŸ“£Registration is open for the 2024 Openscapes Reflections Program! A light-weight way to reflect on your workflows and make goals going into summer. Modeled from professional leadership coaching. 1 hour/week for 3 weeks, April 29 - May 17, 2024 openscapes.org/events/2024-...

We are thrilled to announce the 2024 Table Contest! Data display tables are an indispensable element of analytics but often get too little love. We hope you consider this your call to action to create, share, and celebrate excellent #RStats or #Python data tables. posit.co/blog/announc...

A whole bunch of tidymodels releases just made it to #rstats CRAN.πŸš€Β  One major addition is a set of tools for assessing model fairness, designed to help practitioners understand potential harms that could arise from a machine learning workflow. Read more: www.tidyverse.org/blog/2024/03...

Had a lovely time at the Australian Data Science Network event. Lots of inspiring and diverse journeys from many Women in Data Science. I had the opportunity to share my story too. Video link here youtu.be/c3dp5joR3CA #IWD2024

Excited to go to my first useR! conference. Looking forward to chatting all things R and data science in beautiful Austria! πŸ”οΈ 🍻 πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» Lmk if you will be going!
