The recording of our lightning talk from posit::conf(2024) is now live! It gives a brief overview of why we exist, (some of) what we do, and how to get involved.
#positconf2024
This was probably my favorite talk from #PositConf2024 on creating a #quarto extension for "scrolly-telling". I loved it because it not only demos an extremely slick extension, it also explores *why* scrolly-teling is such an effective data journalism format.
Many #positconf2024 talks are now free to view on the @Posit YouTube channel 🎉🎉

Our #PositConf2024 talk(s) on #Positron are now available on YouTube! It was really special to get to introduce this new project to folks ❤️ and I'm excited this is broadly available now.
Take a look if you are curious about our new IDE:
Nous sommes ravis de partager le #replay de notre récente Watch Party francophone qui a été dédiée à la posit::conf(2024) !
Au programme, deux présentations captivantes sur le nouvel #IDE #Positron développé par #Posit @Posit ainsi que sur #Quarto et tout son potentiel.
Chaima Boughanmi @chaimaboughanmi a également offert un retour d'#expérience inspirant sur sa participation à la conférence.
Better late than never! I wrote a small little blog about my experience at #PositConf2024 and about how wonderful our community is :rstats: 💓

Excited to share my analysis of baby names using data from the US Social Security Administration! 👶📊 I applied skills I learnt from #PositAcademy and #positconf2024
I found a fascinating trends of baby names over the years, uncovering the most popular choices, and explored how names evolve with cultural shifts.
This exploration was done using the powerful Quarto and R🌟
Check out the full analysis here 👇
I enjoyed #PositConf2024 and will write about it soon.
Unfortunately, I caught COVID late last Wednesday and have been recovering ever since.
Back to masking.

"Data Science exists because Statistics missed the boat on computers"
"Statistics (made you believe that) all the problems have been solved, and that 'you just have to know which test to use' (and if you don't it's your fault)"
"Data Science (says): Approximately NONE of the problems have been solved. You need versatile tools to build solutions"

The amazing talk by Andrew Bray at #positconf2024 about using the {closeread} extension to do "scrollytelling" in #Quarto reminded me of of this "scrollytelling" article an undergraduate put together largely about my PhD research on #tea. It includes a map of all the places I know of that produce 东方美人 (dong fang mei ren, or "eastern beauty") #oolong.
