Do you use surveys and #Rstats? We have the package for you!

#surveydown combines #quarto_pub and #rshiny to make dynamic, interactive surveys that render to a shiny app.

Also, v0.5.0 is now on CRAN! 🎉

Congrats to Dr. Lujin Zhao on a successful dissertation defense! 🎉

Lujin's research examines transportation mode choice as well as #EV mileage and disparities in EV supply across the US.

He is also the 3rd PhD graduating from my lab in 2024 (also 3rd PhD ever from my lab...it's been a busy year!)
