Many people hours, calls and messages later: OSTA is now “in (pre)print”, though the real thing lives at bioconductor.org/books/OSTA.

Check it out, get in touch. We welcome any feedback, suggestions, wishes (& contributions).

It’s been a joy working with you @estellayixingdong.bsky.social!

R/Pharma The conference is a scientifically & industry oriented, collegial event focused on the use of R in the development of pharmaceuticals.

I'll be keynoting at R/Pharma in a few weeks! The conference is free and virtual; all are welcome to join. My talk "Practical AI for data science" is on November 5th and should be broadly accessible for #rstats users, regardless of industry. :)
