What are the attributes of a welcoming and sustainable online community? Asking for ideas 💡

Yes potentially, but it should be possible to use this function with cartograms or hex grid transformed geography. Might be good to post some thoughts on the GitHub repo issues.

Maybe add @huizezhangsherry.bsky.social @weihaolipatrick.bsky.social @jayanigamage.bsky.social

Thanks Ben! Very helpful to have this list!

If you work for a commercial organisation donating to r-consortium.org might be easier.

If your department or University uses R in its teaching please consider requesting that they donate to the www.r-project.org/foundation/ annually. This funding is essential for supporting R distributions and package management.

Hello 👋 I will soon have capacity to take on an additional project or engagement. If you, or someone you know are ramping up their #datascience capability, get in touch.

Easiest method is DM, email, stopping me in the street, flagging me down in moving traffic, or failing that, telephone.

Actually open to all. I should have written early and mid-career instead of young and early, also.

Monash University has made many positions available specifically for young and early career researchers who would like to take some time away from the USA. These are case by case, not advertised. So if you are interested or know anyone interested have them get in contact with someone at Monash.

Great news! R/Medicine 2025 is providing a forum for sharing R based tools and approaches used to analyze and gain insights from health data. Join us for the premier R conference for health and medicine.

As April 2nd arrived, Wickham returned to his serious work on making data science more accessible and intuitive—though some users secretly admitted they'd enjoy an annual untidyverse update every April 1st.

Later that day, Wickham followed up with actual code examples from his "untidyverse" that included functions like %>?% (a pipe that might work) and ggplot_surprise() which visualized data in unexpected ways.
