Co-Host of @tidy_explained. developer of {camcorder} and {tidytuesdayR}. #rstats developer. Seattle UseR and Cascadia R Conf organizer. Associate Director Data Science @gsk. Opinions are my own
Always wonderful to see old friends and find new ones.

Especially at @cascadiarconf.bsky.social, since its a local network of R folks. I may be biased though...

Pulled down my holiday lights finally, and decided to harvest the remaining functional LEDs from the strand.

Unintentionally made a bar graph....

I have a colleague (not on social media) who likes to say that works don't *fall* into the public domain, they *ascend* into the public domain. I really love that.

“NIH produces an astounding return on investment to the American taxpayer. In Fiscal Year 2022, NIH research funding supported 568,585 jobs and generated $96.84 billion in economic activity — that’s $2.64 of economic activity for every $1 of research funding.”

Research supported by NIH has led more than 100 Nobel Prizes and has supported more than 99% of drugs approved by federal regulators from 2010 to 2019.
But come January, NIH may face a wrecking ball

So I broke out the crank radio, a bottle of red, and lit the candles 🍷

Getting involved in open source projects is a great way to develop your programming skills! As well as creating plots or shiny apps using the #TidyTuesday data, curating a dataset is a good way to contribute!

You know you google a lot of DIY when this shows up in your Google feed...yes I do need to know the evolution of bathroom fans, thank you
November 15, 2024 at 9:14 PM
If you have the chance to do your own wiring, do it (with supervision if you've never done it before)

Spent the past 2 days working on replacing some old bathroom fans, and the wiring took so much time!

But I have a bathroom that doesn't sound like a jet taking off, so, I'll call it a win ✈️

Not gonna lie, as someone that didn't have a ton of followers/slowly built them up over time on the bird app, all these notifications are kinda crazy.

To all the new folks, Hey yall! Welcome!

@rachaeldempsey.bsky.social just gave a great opening set of remarks to R/pharma (@rinpharma.bsky.social).
