I've done a review, posted GitHub repos for two R packages (github.com/smspain) I've built, and put up a pre-print (not yet, available, but soon) at the PsyArXiv and posted the code and data for that project to an OSF project. After nearly 3 years in admin, it's good to feel like a scientist again!
