It makes my heart so warm to see our shared love for R bring us together 🫶

Very excited to be reunited with @ellakaye.co.uk + Heather Turner to help out in the #RDevDay! Lots of small wins with @emitanaka.org and others on making R manuals pretty, a continuing project I worked on at last years R Dev Day in Austria 🫶

😍 the best crossover!

Re-sharing my starter pack so I can update my pinned post
