Photo of Emi Tanaka. A smiling woman with dark hair and glasses looks directly at the camera. She has a smile strong enough to make her squint. She is wearing a light-colored sweater over a dark top, with pearl earrings visible.
Photo of Nima Hejazi: A man with curly dark hair and a light beard smiles subtly at the camera. He is wearing a light blue collared shirt under a textured brown jacket. Cherry blossoms are visible and slightly out of focus in the background.
So glad to have @emitanaka.org and @nimahejazi.org join our editorial board for @ropensci.org's software peer review!
They’ll help ensure rigorous, friendly, open peer review for software in statistics and data science.
