Alex Mesoudi (@alexmesoudi.com; 16/0/3; 2025-05-14): Updated the reinforcement (+social) learning models in my cultural evolution agent-based modelling in R tutorial. Now uses cmdstan rather than rstan (and more importantly now works again).

No problems there

Ansgar Wolsing (@ansgarw.bsky.social; 65/3/25; 2025-05-09): How worried are Europeans about climate change - and do they feel it’s their job to help fix it? ♨️

Each dot represents a respondent’s level of worries about climate change and their feeling of personal responsibility to address it.

Crystal Lewis (@cghlewis.bsky.social; 50/3/6; 2025-05-08): Another day, another chance to use #rstats readr::parse_number() to remove character values and convert a variable to numeric.


Giles (@gdeejay.bsky.social; 28/2/3; 2025-05-11): I’m in this paragraph and I don’t like it.

Giles (@gdeejay.bsky.social; 27/7/1; 2025-05-10): I just used Gemini to vibe code a Shiny app in #rstats.

Pretty freakin’ cool, but the only reason I could get it to work is I can code and could specifically tell where errors came from.

We Are R-Ladies (@weare.rladies.org; 18/11/3; 2025-05-10): How did you start using R? 💻
Was it through a course, a job, a side project, or a total career pivot?
Always love hearing the many paths that lead us to #RStats ✨


We Are R-Ladies (@weare.rladies.org; 17/0/1; 2025-05-10): That’s a wrap on my #RLadies curation week! 🎉

It’s been such a joy sharing, learning, and connecting 💜
From {ggplot2} themes to hidden packages and rainbowR shoutouts 🌈📦 thank you all!

Until next time, keep wrangling, plotting😊

Sharon Machlis (@smachlis.bsky.social; 17/1/3; 2025-05-09): dplyr’s pick() function lets you select columns *within select(), count(), or mutate() activities *. For ex.

df %>% mutate(rank = dense_rank(pick(x, y)))
OR
df %>% count(pick(starts_with(“z”)))

Kyle Walker (@kylewalker.bsky.social; 16/3/4; 2025-05-09): Isochrones show you the reachable area from a location for a given travel mode.

In #rstats, creating isochrones with @Mapbox web services is easier than you think.


Ferhat Tura (@ferhattura19.bsky.social; 14/2/2; 2025-05-09): I’ve finished teaching for the year, just the marking left to do! This year has been especially rewarding as I made the switch from SPSS to R after two years of teaching SPSS at my university. #rstats #criminology

What is the current preferred method for including rust in R packages?

Also looking for good tutorials around this!
