My first #TidyTuesday contribution in ~2 years courtesy of an extra-long layover during conference travel! Last week's data focused on US gas prices reported weekly from 1990 to 2025. I had fun playing with the {ggtext} package to customize the title and axis labels! github.com/cmwhite4/tid...

Here is my checklist summarising a small set of some of the simplest tasks you can do that have high potential to improve the reproducibility of your analysis code.
This is based on my year of reproducibility reviews for the J. of Archaeological Science:

It's bonkers that in academic science we spend hours obsessing over the wording of a paper, but often only one person has seen the code that produced the results! 2/N

As a faculty member, I think I knew from afar what good people IES had. But over the past two years, I have gotten to work alongside so many of those who were just let go. I have learned so much from these friends and colleagues, and I am just dumbstruck at the scale of this loss for our country.

I really liked this idea of using a histogram as a legend in a choropleth map (since land isn't unemployed; people are), so I made a little guide to doing it with #rstats, {ggplot2}, and {patchwork}

I was on an IES 305A review panel this year and got this today following up on the cancellation of panels last week. I’m taking this to mean panels will not be rescheduled at all and that 305A awards likely won’t be made.
I reviewed some critically important proposals. This is truly awful.

Public data sharing is becoming more commonly required from agencies that support our research. Yet, there are many decisions that need to be considered before you can share data collected from your research study. Here is a list of resources that can help you with this decision making process!

I have written a book on data mgmt, given trainings on the topic, and worked in data mgmt for 12 years.
But, I still get lazy with file naming, fall behind on documentation, and make mistakes in my coding. Just remember, we're not robots. The point is not to be perfect, it's to keep doing better.
