This package has data that can be used instead of nycflights13 to teach joins, and also to look at temporal trends and draw maps. It has to coolest hexsticker vahdatjavad.github.io/ecotourism/ and cute creatures: mantarays, gouldian finches, glow worms and orchids

This week's #RLadies curator is @jformoso.bsky.social 🥳

Jesica Formoso, Researcher at National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) | MetaDocencia. They say, "I’m currently using R in my research on reading comprehension at CONICET and for survey analysis as Impact Measurement Lead at MetaDocencia, while also participating in the Forwards R Package Development Workshop summer school because I am starting to develop a package for Spanish readability assessment and this is new for me."

$DEITY bless the #GDAL crew #gis lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gd...

Screenshot of an email announcement on the GDAL-dev mailing list. The subject reads: ‘[gdal-dev] GDAL 3.10.2 “Gulf of Mexico” is released.’ The email, written by Even Rouault, announces the release of GDAL/OGR 3.10.2, a bug-fix version, with download links for the source files in different formats. A humorous note suggests choosing a geodetic datum wisely. The email ends with a link to the sender’s website, spatialys.com, and the sign-off: ‘My software is free, but my time generally not.’

This 👇.
Specifically, for people in the quantitative sciences, I recommend:
- Have a well-tended ORCID
- GitHub/GitLab repository with some of your research outputs
- Personal webpage (e.g. quarto) on a static hosting service such as GitHub/GitLab Pages, Netlify, Posit Connect, ...

Probably an unpopular opinion but:

LinkedIn is a closed, for-profit service. If you don't have an account, you can't see someone else's profile.
I do not have LinkedIn. I can't see your profile.

If you are job/internship/PhD hunting I recommend having an open online presence!

What R Studio color theme are people using out there? I use Idle Fingers, but switch back to default (Textmate) when I'm teaching / projecting for students to observe. #rstats

Tomorrow Night Bright but with some hack (discused here: github.com/rstudio/rstu... ) to put just the code and console/terminal panels dark and the rest of the interface light (I like this way more because it helps with my spatial memory)

Shows an RStudio window with the code and console panels in dark mode and the rest of the interface in light mode
