Johnson & Johnson's Open Source Journey with R in Clinical Trials YouTube video by Posit PBC

Listening in to the Johnson & Johnson team sharing their open source journey with R in Clinical Trials ๐Ÿคฉ look like there was a technical difficulty at the beginning, so wanted to make sure we all have the link here: www.youtube.com/live/_bqeYh2...

Pretty amazing to see over 400 of us joining live

๐Ÿงต I've been talking to a lot of people about #tidytuesday / #pydytuesday. Here's an observation I want to discuss: the majority of people who want to participate in the social aspect online, but don't, hold back because they're afraid of looking dumb, unimpressive, or otherwise silly. #databs

okay, whatโ€™s the big deal with the new #PositronIDE??? hereโ€™s my quick pitch for you to try it out ๐Ÿ›ธ

- view big data quickly with the data explorer
- fully featured console + plots + variables + connections pane
- view parquet, csv, csv.gz data in 1 click
- preview quarto/app output inside the IDE

So you built a model and are about to share with others...how do you communicate its purpose, how you made it, appropriate use cases?

Join on YouTube @ 11am Jan 29th with @juliasilge.com for a workflow demo using a model to predict attrition

I've never used DuckDB, mostly because I haven't had a need for it (we don't all have the same needs!). Can anyone help me understand the problem DuckDB solves for them and let me ask them dumb questions? I get the chance to talk with the creator of DuckDB (and so will you) and I'm excited! #DataBS
