Sometimes I wish international prices were a little fairer. This course looks very good, but it costs half as much as my rent. 😕

Our ggplot2 [un]charted course is live! 🎉

Lesson 1, “Why R and ggplot2?”, is free to explore — short, thoughtful & a bit different.

Get the early-supporter price!

Screenshot of the first lesson called"Why R and ggplot2?". The header text reads: Course Foundations of ggplot2 Why R and ggplot? Why R and ggplot2? This lesson shows why programming is so powerful for data visualization. It covers what sets R and ggplot2 apart, highlighting their strengths, trade-offs, and how they compare to other tools. Let's get a clear sense of when and why to use ggplot2! ... and the first paragraphs: 🌍 A World of Visualization Tools Data visualizations are everywhere— on web pages, in reports, and at the heart of dashboards. What used to be a time-consuming, manual process is now much faster, thanks to powerful tools that turn raw data into clear, engaging graphics. But with so many options out there, choosing the right tool can be tough 😔. There are 5 main categories of visualization tools. Some are quick-and-easy chart makers, while others are flexible, code-driven libraries. The right choice depends on factors like data complexity, custom design, and the need for reproducibility. Explore the categories below to find the best fit for your needs! Another screenshot of the lesson, showing the three main reasons to use coding to work with data and create visualizations: 1. reproducibility 2. Customization 3. Automation It also shows a gallery of some of data visualizations such as the circular astronauts plot and the stream graph about appearances of the main X-Men characters.

I wish they did it earlier. I created the @hhmacedo.bsky.social because hhmacedo is my default user everywhere but I've lost it because I adopted my domain. That sucks, @bsky.app!

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

‘A place of joy’: why scientists are joining the rush to Bluesky Researchers say the social-media platform — an alternative to X — offers more control over the content they see and the people they engage with.: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03784-6

Having a hard time focusing on code today. Instead of refreshing news sites, tell me about an R package or function that made your life easier recently?

I finally figured out how group_modify() works, and it's been a game-changer for some nested data madness. #rstats #dataBS

Let's be clear: X isn't respecting Brazil's law and is trying to bypass it. Why would I endorse a social network that believes it is above reasonable legal order?
