Ready4R (2026-01-08): Being Curious and Being Wrong We are now in 2026. Happy new year, all. The Courage to be Curious When learners ask me what I look for when hiring a bioinformatician or data scientist,...

Back with the #ready4r newsletter for the new year. I continue working with #databot on #tidytuesday data, talk about being curious about data, and being wrong with analyses. #datascience #rstats #databs

You can definitely do it pretty easily - here's some leaflet/mapview on one of our pages: datathon-winter-2025.netlify.app/mapview.html

Yup - it is hosting the html pages so people can see the maps

Trying out #databot for exploring endangered languages of the world for #TidyTuesday

I know some about spatial analysis using {sf}, so I work with #databot to visualize the data spatially. #rstats #databs

I have a sudden desire to go play Stardew Valley after seeing this

My mom and her friends are pretty bloodthirsty when they play Scrabble. I don't even rate...

Happy new year to all the #databs #rstats #python #datascience folks. I wish I felt more optimistic but I can at least see some positive things on the horizon.

Yeah to Yes

Very interesting- mini roundabouts seem more like a suggestion than actual infrastructure

I used the free version of Highway Gothic (the roadsign font), but didn't go much further than that

The plot thickens!

It's a package. I did remove unincorporated areas, so it may be from that

Good to know!

A bar plot of the 10 ten cities with roundabouts. The top 3 are Auckland (NZ), Carmel Indiana (US), and Gothenburg (SWE).

It's been a long while since I've done a #tidytuesday - did a quick bar plot of the top 10 cities with roundabouts.

I used #databot and went pretty fast. I spent about 10 minutes getting the data to this point. Mind is blown. #rstats #databs #datascience

My brain sees all of these "you should give more before the end of the year" emails and it makes me feel like I haven't given enough.

This strategy really doesn't seem to work on me.

Yes, I think a good quesabirra taco has antidepressant properties.

YouTube video by Data Snacks Databot on NHANES

Trying out #Posit Databot on a dataset I know pretty well (NHANES). I do like how it helps me in my wondering about the data. It's been a while since I've recorded a video, so be gentle. #datascience #R

As a recording artist, I'm asking y'all to #BoycottSpotify.

Not because they screw me and other fellow musicians of income.

They are running recruiting ads from DHS and ICE.

Don't support this BS.

Yes, I know this is a major concern.

Save the date! Bioconductor 2026 will be held at Fred Hutch in Seattle, WA. #rstats August 10-12, includes a developer day!

Stay tuned for more details, including how to submit abstracts!

Idly thinking about training-driven development: showing the engineering team how you had to come up with workarounds in training to make their product learnable or even understandable.
