Day 4: my data #30DayMapChallenge
Today I learned that #rstats 📦 `tidygeocoder` is super useful for pulling lat/long coordinates and that plotting a world map that centres the pacific is quite annoying. Shout out to @freerangestats.info for useful blog posts.

Day 3 #30DayMapChallenge polygons
Today I wanted to work out how to plot regional population on a map of NZ.
Turns out the `spData` package has nz data (and other interesting spatial data that might be useful to beginner map makers).

TOMORROW, I'm hosting what I'm calling Data Science Lab. This debut session will be our fave Positron settings for #rstats & #python 😍
I called it DS Lounge at first, but that doesn't feel right. You'll see "Lounge" when you register at pos.it/dslab, but future sessions will be "Lab" 🧪😎 #databs

Woot, just submitted another dataset to #TidyTuesday and now there are 5 PRs waiting for Jon to review.
I screenrecorded the process, so if you want to see how EASY it is to contribute a dataset to this AMAZING #rstats community, check out this video.

Ooooo this data is likely interesting to #rstats peeps, but I wonder how complete it is.
Canceled orders in June-July are huge, but why are the orders received so low (and flat) in the first part of the year?
Did the FOIA request only ask about canceled orders @kevinuhrm.bsky.social ?

I am open to the idea that there are people who don't have and don't want to gain the skills to engage directly with their data but every single day that I do I learn the answer to a question you'd never even think to ask unless you were personally staring into the abyss of an uncleaned dataset.

rifling through my old workshop materials to remember how i did that cool thing in R with tables.
oh, you thought my workshops were for you? friends, make no mistake - i am the primary beneficiary of my own teaching content.
if you happened to learn something too, that's just a bonus.

A lot of people with these qualities left academia because you didn't reward us or understand when we were blocked by others but y'all aren't ready to have that conversation I guess
The Nobel Prize is the wrong way to think about science.
My heroes aren't the people with the endowed chairs at the Ivies. They are the people who do the hard work, day in and day out, and who would take a bullet rather than inflate research findings or block others' competing research.

RTing myself to make sure we're keeping our 👀 open. What @jcheng5.bsky.social found via databot was cool but a) *Joe* (not databot) found it by noticing that the bot mentioned a weird thing, and b) we don't know how many people found it and didn't point it out to me.

* no human told me about it before Joe. I can't say for sure that no human caught it. A lot of the people examining #TidyTuesday data are more likely to assume they're wrong than to assume I'm wrong. Still a very compelling example but I want to make sure we don't forget who we are 😊
