Hello 👋 I'm Ella and I'm thrilled to be the R-Ladies RoCur this week.

I look forward to engaging with you about my favourite R topics, both about code and community.

Agree about cowplot for precise customization. From the Q&A: 💯 I don’t think an LLM could recreate those in the first few sane attempts.
This actually makes me want to try recreating them, thank you, adding to the list.
And yes, as we can all see in 2025, history does repeat itself.
