patchwork <3 <3

Mind was blown was first shown this one, and it helped me stop using dual-axis/messily overlapping graphs to show comparisons.
🎄Day 11 🎄: Multi-panel figures!

The R package {patchwork} makes professional-looking multi-panel figures like this SUPER easy to do.

This means more efficient story telling, saved space, and clearer comparisons between groups.

My preferred type of trivia 😆🥜
Day 9: Where do the R version names come from?

Run R.version on your console to see your version number and name. The current one is 4.4.2: “Pile of Leaves”.

Internet chat suggests these names are all inspired by the Peanuts comic strip.

And sure enough…

Keep an eye on us - we're doing big things! Can't wait to share more in the new year!
Hello Bluesky! We’re Applied Epi! What do we want? To improve Applied Epidemiology worldwide! When do we want it? Well probably in an achievable timeframe that doesn’t completely destroy a much needed and already existing infrastructure that is overburdened!

Hello! I'm Paula, an epidemiologist that loves data storytelling, making a difference, and connecting with other passionate people.

I'll be posting musings and R tips here.

BUT, for a first non-epi post: here's my fave cartoon, Garfield. He'd probably use R if he could (automated coffee runs!)
