Australia’s Gondwana Rainforests hold examples of major evolutionary & geological stages dating ~359 mya, including the largest surviving population of Araucarians (the most phylogenetically primitive species of conifer) 👴

David Keyes (@dgkeyes.com; 48/3/9; 2025-06-21): Really enjoyed speaking to Cascadia R Conference today! Materials from my talk are at rfortherestofus.com/cascadia2025. #rstats


David Keyes (@dgkeyes.com; 46/0/11; 2025-06-20): Cascadia R Conf is tomorrow! I’ll be giving the keynote: Twenty-Five Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do with R. #rstats

You can still register for the virtual conference: cascadiarconf.com

We’re voting on donuts from five different donuts companies in Portland 🍩🍩 ( results to be shown via a Shiny app) and getting ready to start a fun day off learning new #R skills and applications. @ellishughes.bsky.social #Rstats #PDX #CascadiaR


Brittany Barker (@brittanysbarker.bsky.social; 27/3/3; 2025-06-21): David Keyes @dgkeyes.com is giving an excellent keynote presentation about “25 Ways to Use R” at the Cascadia R Conference @cascadiarconf.bsky.social at OHSU @ohsunews.bsky.social in Portland, OR. R isn’t just for stats! #R #Rstats #coding


Kyle Walker (@kylewalker.bsky.social; 27/1/4; 2025-06-20): With {mapgl}, #rstats, and your favorite LLM for popup design, your maps are only limited by your imagination.

mapgl streamlines the process of making immersive 3D maps straight from R…

…and includes tools to accommodate incredible popups, like with animated charts!

Ben Harrap (@bharrap.bsky.social; 17/2/3; 2025-06-20): It’s funny how the answer to

“What is the problem with this function!?”

is almost always

“it’s me, I am the problem”

Kyle Walker (@kylewalker.bsky.social; 15/2/1; 2025-06-21): Just tried out the {acquaint} #rstats package for the first time, a tool that connects your R sessions to Claude via MCP.

After setting up my config and running acquaint::mcp_session(), Claude took a look at my data, and started giving me analysis suggestions.

Awesome!


Kyle Walker (@kylewalker.bsky.social; 14/0/2; 2025-06-21): Use an #LLM as a pair programmer for data analysis in #rstats with {acquaint}:

📈 I map a dataset with tidycensus;
📈 Claude inspects my R env and builds a clustering analysis;
📈 I ask Claude to read the mapgl docs;
📈 Claude helps me embed a ggplot as svg within my map!

Kyle Walker (@kylewalker.bsky.social; 9/1/1; 2025-06-21): Filters with expressions in @Mapbox and @maplibre are so powerful for in-app GIS overlay.

“within” allows for point-in-polygon, and “distance” finds areas near to a given geom.

An example using #rstats mapgl: the GIS operation happens directly in the map w/no external call.


Jen Richmond (@jenrichmondphd.bsky.social; 8/0/1; 2025-06-21): Keen to start up and running with #TidyTuesday this week? Try this command line method to create a #rstats script template.

Or if you want a quarto template, try my version…

Cameron Patrick (@cameronpat.bsky.social; 0/0/0; 2025-06-28): I remember having to fiddle with my Chrome print settings to get my Xaringan slides to print to PDF the same way they appeared in the browser. Have yet to try to Quarto for slides so dunno if this is different in Quarto but could be worth a try?
