🎉 Big news! After 5+ years of consulting work under the R for the Rest of Us name, I'm launching Clarity Data Studio.
The name confusion was real – people thought we only did courses, not knowing about our consulting work building reports, websites, and more.

Running a business, you get some weird marketing pitches. Today's might be the weirdest: putting R for the Rest of Us on the side of a Nascar race race. I appreciate the sentiment, but not sure it's the best way for me to reach customers!

I'm doing my biannual donations from R for the Rest of Us to support organizations fighting for social justice (rfortherestofus.com/1percent). I'd like to support those impacted by ICE raids. Anyone have recommendations for organizations to donate to?

Had such a great time talking to @dgkeyes.com about #rstats, unit testing, and missing data. Thanks for making time, David!
60% of his PhD dataset was missing.
Rather than giving up, @njtierney.bsky.social created {naniar}, an R package to explore and visualize missing data. "Missing data adds a new, unknown dimension to the dataset," he says.

In putting together the new version of the Mapping with R course, I came across lots of great resources for learning to make maps in #rstats. Here are some of my top recommendations, all of which are available online for free.

My keynote at Cascadia R Conf is all about things you didn't know you could do with R. I've got some ideas, but I'd love to get additional suggestions. What do you do with R that others have never even considered?
