We are looking for #rstats community feedback on 3 new dplyr functions!
We're aiming to expand the `filter()` family:
- `filter()` to keep rows
- `filter_out()` to drop rows
- `when_any()` and `when_all()` as modifiers

Stunning illustration of mimicry! Common cuckoo eggs (top row) imitate the eggs of their host species (bottom row). The 30 October issue of Science explains this dazzling coevolution with genomic data — though I admit, it’s complex enough that I’d struggle to teach it! 🧪🌿🌎🦉

#rstats people I'm sure I remember someone had recently developed a package or at least a hack for getting around the fact that geom_ribbon can't map the fill aesthetic to a variable (continuous or not), but now I can't find it, can anyone point me to it?

I'm excited to share a new version of the Air formatter for #rstats, with support for tabular formatting! Super useful with `tibble::tribble()` calls or `data.table::fcase()`.
It's currently experimental as we're looking to get feedback on the feature, so please let us know what you think.

Are people still recording lectures and posting them and/or having live zoom links to regular classroom lectures?
I understand there are advantages and disadvantages to both and no easy answer either way but any thoughts are useful.
