Re-introduction for new followers!
Hello! 👋
I am currently a freelance research data management consultant. I also co-organize R-Ladies St. Louis. I mostly post about data management and #rstats data wrangling tips. I also recently wrote this book.

Hi #openscience friends! As Psych-DS moves forward (stay tuned for an R package update...), we're applying in parallel for renewal of the NIH grant that funds this work.

If you (a) have NIH funding and (b) plan or would like to use Psych-DS for resulting datasets, please drop me a line!

Does anyone have any favorite data visualizations that examine gender? Looking for strong examples. Thank you!

"Man, I really wish RStudio respected hierarchy in code-folded section headers... I wonder how easy it would be to..."

(inner voice: DON'T DO IT! IT'S NOT WORTH IT! JUST GET BACK TO WORK! THE YAK IS BEST LEFT UNSHORN!)

"... I'm gonna do it."

I brought my laptop to do work at the last two kid parties I was at, and it was a complete fail because parents talked to me the entire time. Don't you see I am trying to be non-social here?? 😆

Seems like this works?

$library(stringr) string <- "A,B,C, D" str_split(string, pattern = ",(?!\s)")$

Did you name it "FINAL" Terry? 😆

This is awesome, but I'm over here worried that ChatGPT named the report "FINAL". 😂

I'm giving a midterm exam right now and while this mode of assessment is LLM-resistant, it's really not great. I feel bad that this cohort of students is going to face a lot a more stressful tests.

An old friend called me this morning:

"Crystal, I need help. We've been running a project and I didn't get everything set up right from the beginning. 🫣 What can I do now to document our data?"

Me: "Nooooooooo. But I've got you." :)

Data documentation templates sent over ✔️

TIL: Microsoft Teams can be configured to use ISO 8601 date formatting.

I don't know why this makes me so excited. Perhaps it's the analyst in me who's had to wrestle with and wrangle various date formats in the past ...
