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.

Our Fieldwork in Beytepe🌿
To identify the distribution of Ailanthus altissima, examine its changes over the years, and predict its future dynamics, we carried out fieldwork at Hacettepe University’s Beytepe Campus
Together with our intern team, we collected data in the pilot area of our research. 🌸
