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. :)

Not a subscription -- you own the software after you pay for 24 months (or 12 months in education).

Here's how it works and a reminder of what's actually in Live 12 Suite. If this is successful, it could be good news for #maxforlive device builders and stores like @isotonikstudios.bsky.social.

Will look at that next. I’m enjoying Gary Oldman stealing every scene he’s in.
